My anniversary is in August. I grew up on the bench in Ogden. I'm awesome. Those are just three reasons I'd love to win. I NEED to win because I am the mom to many and I could REALLY use a staycation! ;) I'd love to win because it sounds really fun and fun is just what I need as much as the air that I breathe!

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. My family and friends love to come and visit me in Ogden because I always know what is going on around town (thanks to you)and there is always something fun to do here. I hope to get out to a friend meeting event one of these times. Being newer to town, it is a bit hard to meet folks. Thanks again for your dedication to Ogden! happeejackee at gmail dot com xoxo, explore, create and have fun ‹Older Sunday, June 12, 2011

Back to the daily grind...of AWESOME! at 9:21 PM Well, the three day weekend is over and its time for us all to go back to the daily grind. Luckily Ogden is super awesome and there is always something fun to do to cheer ya up. I cant say that i got out much this weekend; the first part was spent taking care of my sick daughter and husband and the second part was spent being sick. However, it rained the ENTIRE weekend anyway so i wasn't missing much. Being sick may not have been so bad because i managed to make quite a few new friends and these friends are super awesome and will be featured on upcoming blog posts and giveaways! As you may have seen on indie Ogden's facebook one of those super awesome friends is a vinyl decal company (http://beepart.com/) that will be doing a giveaway soon. I don't usually host out of town giveaways but this company is fantastic. It is an artist owned and run company that gives other artists a platform for featuring their art in vinyl form! Other friends include local artists and crafters whose work i will be featuring during the Ogden arts festival and you can have a chance to win some of their fantastic work too. I even had a chance to write 2 new articles on sloucher so check it out! I will be getting the print edition in the mail soon and will try and get some of those out to you guys. Whew! i have had a super busy sick weekend! I should get sick more often. . . stay tuned for lots of amazing things happening! Today it looks as if the skies have cleared and the sun is peaking its head out for a much needed return. Let's hope it stays that way!
