01/12/2010 Press Release from the Fun Days Committee:
      The Ogden Fun Days Committee met at the Leonard Good Community Center at 6:00 and seems to have made good progress in planning the event. The date has been set for the third week in June, the exact dates to be June 17, 18, and 19 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). These dates were determined to be the best dates from those provided by the carnival that is scheduled to attend.

     As of this time, the committee is working towards having all of the regular attractions such as the parade, Water Buffaloes Beer Garden, Senior Food Stand, Lions Bingo, live entertainment and others. New attractions that they are working on will be the Carnival, pony ride, and mechanical bull. Some events need coordinators before they will be added to the schedule. All are invited to join the Committee to help at whatever level they can offer.

     Here are some of the current members of the 2011 Fun Days Committee: Brian Jennings (Chair), Jan Jensen (Co-Chair and parade), Linda Ellis (Treasurer), Cindy Staebler and Gail Rodgers (kiddie parade), Pat Cook (information booth), Mike Duff, Wendy Duff, Chris Zwick, and Logan Runyan (live entertainment and sound equipment), Craig Christensen (general and entertainment), Scott Kruse (entertainment), Dave and Donna Ohlson (Car Show), Joni Zellweger (kids events and business involvement). The Ogden Fun Days website: www.ogdenfundays.org will be updated soon. You can also get up to date information at www.ogdenia.com.
