🎢 Lagoon Is Keeping Its Next Big Ride Under Wraps

Something new is coming to Lagoon — but for now, the Farmington amusement park is keeping the details a secret.

Lagoon announced Thursday that it will reveal a new ride on Saturday evening, Oct. 3, with the attraction expected to open in July 2027. The park says the ride will bring an entirely new experience using innovative design and technology.

One clue: construction activity has been spotted around the former Jet Star 2 area, where a racing-themed banner has also appeared. But exactly what Lagoon is building? We’ll have to wait for the big reveal. 👉 Read More

🎶 What’s Your Favorite One-Hit Wonder?

Apparently today is National One-Hit Wonder Day — which immediately raises a very important question. 😂

What’s that ONE song you still turn up every time it comes on, even though the artist seemingly disappeared afterward?

📧 Hit Reply and tell me yours! I may share a few favorites in an upcoming Buzz.

And just like that, we made it to Friday! 🙌

I hope you find something fun to do, someone local to cheer for, or maybe even a little time to do absolutely nothing this weekend. 😊

Thanks for starting your mornings with the Buzz and for being part of this little community we’re building together. I appreciate you more than you know. 💛🐝

Have a wonderful weekend, neighbors — see you Monday!

—Brenda 🐝
