[PHONE REDACTED] Marathons, car shows, art festivals, concerts, parades, and more. Yes, it’s event season in Ogden, and no one else does it quite like we do. Why do we celebrate all things in Ogden? Besides being fun, well-managed festivals and events offer a host of economic and social benefits to our community. The big public gatherings downtown foster community pride, teach us new things, and strengthen relationships. Festivals also attract visitors, and visitors spend money which boosts our local economy both for festival vendors as well as local businesses. Think about the free advertising for Ogden as visitors talk about, post about, and share images of their fun experiences when they go back home, even if home is only a few miles or minutes out of town. Successful events cause a great ripple effect for all of us here in Ogden. So start filling up your own calendar with the exciting summer lineup Ogden has to offer. And while you’re at, be sure to invite some friends. events.ogdencity.com Grow a Row for the Hungry Did you know 1 in 4 people in Ogden live with food insecurities?

It’s one of the most popular ways to cook food. But a grill placed too close to anything that can burn is a fire hazard. Keep these tips in mind to keep your grilling as safe as possible. • Place the grill well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. • Keep children and pets at least three feet away, and never leave the grill unattended. • Before using a propane grill for first time each year, check the gas tank hose for leaks. Apply soap and water to the hose and watch for bubbles indicating a leak. Have leaks serviced by a professional. • Always make sure the lid is open on a gas grill before lighting it. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait five minutes before re-lighting. • When using charcoal grills, only use safe methods for starting the charcoals such as charcoal starter fluid or newspaper with charcoal chimney starters. There are also electric charcoal starters that do not use fire. When finished grilling, allow coals to cool completely and dispose in a metal container. • Keep your grill clean by removing grease and fat buildup from the grills and trays below the grill.

Disaster can strike without warning and having a plan for when kids are in school or at home will help you be better prepared. Practice exit drills to make sure each child knows at least two ways out of every room in your house and make sure they remember where to meet up so you can verify everyone made it out safely. Involve children in restocking the 72-hour kit; now is a good time to swap winter clothing for summer gear. Most of all, know your Family Communication Plan. Include phone numbers of family, friends, and neighbors as well as the designated point of contact in case of a disaster. Always include one out of state contact in the event local circuits get bogged down with extra call volume. Children who learn about emergency preparedness experience less anxiety during an actual emergency and feel more confident, empowering them to become positive influencers in their homes and neighborhoods. emergencymanagement.ogdencity.com or ready.gov/kids [PHONE REDACTED] Facebook.com/OgdenCityUtah Twitter: @OgdenCityUtah Instagram: @OgdenCityUtah Web: OgdenCity.com See more at events.ogdencity.com Ogden City School District sponsors the summer food service program bringing free, healthy meals to children 18 and under.
