A Weber High Warrior just stood on a national podium.

Brady Ferrin represented Utah in the Broadcast Journalism event at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas — a massive gathering of more than 13,400 students from over 2,100 schools competing across 108 business-related events.

Brady advanced to the finals after placing in the top two of his preliminary section against 14 other competitors. Then, at the Grand Awards Ceremony on July 2, he was recognized as one of the nation's top 10 finalists — and walked away with 3rd place in the country. His award-winning presentation spotlighted the Stratos Project in Box Elder County.

Congratulations to Brady and his adviser, Alan Rawlins, on an outstanding national achievement — and for representing Weber High School and Utah with excellence! 👏

Two decades of creativity, and Ogden's biggest art party is pulling out all the stops.

The 20th Annual Ogden Arts Festival takes over historic Union Station this weekend — Saturday, July 18 (11am–8pm) and Sunday, July 19 (11am–6pm) — with a lineup built for art lovers, families, and the art-curious alike.

Event Highlights

🖼️ More than 100 local and regional artists showing and selling their work

🎨 Live mural painting and a graffiti competition

🎶 Live music and cultural dance performances all weekend

🖌️ A community mural you can help create, plus interactive demos and immersive installations

👨‍👩‍👧 Family-friendly art activities and crafts for all ages

🍺 Local food, beer, and beverages

Want to level it up? VIP Festival Passes are still available — good for both festival days, plus an exclusive VIP brunch (Saturday or Sunday, 11am–1pm) catered by Garden Grille & Lounge, featuring the likes of five-spice dusted lollipop chicken, candied bacon, truffle parmesan kettle chips, and watermelon napoleons, along with two complimentary beverages.

And if you can't attend but want to support the arts, grab a Paint It Forward ticket — it provides festival admission to community members who might not otherwise get to experience it. 💛

Here's to 20 years of art, creativity, and community — see you there!

Let's build something awesome — literally.

The OVPSA Bike Track Project is hosting Community Dig Days at Liberty Park in Ogden Valley to build a bike park the whole community can enjoy for years to come — and they need your help compacting and shaping the bicycle features. The first dig is this Saturday, July 18, with a second round Saturday, July 25. It's an all-day effort starting at 7:00am, and volunteers are welcome to drop in and help at any time.

Event Highlights

⛏️ Bring your tools: shovels, rakes, compactors, and tampers
