Pioneer Day! at 12:00 AM Its pioneer day and my very first one at that. I have to admit i have no idea what pioneer day was until about a week ago. I assumed it was part of the whole pioneer days created to attract visitors to Ogden, however i had no idea it was an ACTUAL holiday. Pioneer day commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. Given that i am not Mormon i really have no reason to celebrate this day but heck any reason to have a parade and fireworks and rodeos and so much more and i am all for it. Unfortunately i Will have to miss out on the pioneer day parade though but on the upside i will be at the office of Jim Ellis my favorite Ogden dentist. I have an appointment for x-rays and such to see just what is happening inside my mouth; Its a war in there. Jim Ellis was nice enough to help me out when i needed a dentist and give me a fabulous rate on wisdom teeth removal. He has some informative and sometimes funny tweets about dentistry you should definitely check out. I hope everyone has a splendid day enjoying the festivities! Be safe , have fun and most of all LOVE Ogden because we do live in one of the best cities in America! Oh yeah! Don't forget to enter Indie Ogden's contest for a chance to win a staycation at the beautiful Ben Lomond suites!

i am a poor, starving student & i cannot afford to go anywhere or do much of anything. Indie Ogden has helped open up a world of free, fun things & for that i am eternally grateful! <3 I would LOVE to win! I've stayed at the Ben Lomond once years ago and loved it. I don't get to come to Ogden enough (even though I'm only 40 minutes away) and I've been wanting to go to afternoon tea. I like both pages on FB. This comment has been removed by the author. I am so proud to have you as a friend! You have brought so much life to Ogden and I'm sure we all agree you are absolutely amazing! I would love to win because I would enjoy absolutely every second! And I work hard to take care of my baby with a constant positive attitude. We all need a break once and awhile. It's too bad we can't ALL win! July 22, 2011
OR I would give the night to one of our sets of parents to be able to come and stay in Ogden and spend time with their new little grandson and enjoy the surprisingly amazing events and accommodations that Ogden has to offer. Shawnee Sawyer Liked and liked on FB! This is an awesome giveaway. I've never stayed in the Ben Lomond hotel before. I'd use the staycation as a reward for surviving a week of throw up at my house!!
Omg! I would love, love, Love to win staycation! I'd like to win so I can have a nice weekend off from life to relax before the baby gets here in sept. I could rest my swollen feet! It would be great to spend some time with my man! I would like to stay at BL too cause I haven't ever had the chance and I love how beautiful that hotel is! Please choose me! ;)
We LOVE Ogden and I would love to take my hubs there for his birthday. Thanks for the great giveaway! I like you both and would LOVE to win because I'm a single mom and never get out to do anything fun! I need some me time with friends. We could all use a relaxing staycation and what better place than surrounded by the beautiful Wasatch mountains in downtown Ogden. Sounds like a lovely break from the everyday. Good luck everyone! I would love a stay-cation because I dont have time for a va-cation :) I am intrigued by the Ben Lomond as well, what a gorgeous building. Even if I dont win, I want to say thanks for all you do with your Blog and FB.
