Bountiful Memorial Day Program Returns Monday
Bountiful’s annual Memorial Day Program will take place Monday, May 25 at Veterans Park next to City Hall, with prelude music starting at 10:30 AM and the main ceremony running from 11 AM–12:15 PM. The event includes patriotic music, a wreath-laying ceremony, devotional messages, flag ceremonies, and a military flyover honoring veterans and those who gave their lives in service.
The Memorial Day program is one of Bountiful’s longtime community traditions, giving local families a meaningful way to honor veterans and reflect on the sacrifices made by service members connected to South Davis County.

🚽 Park Bathroom Vandalism Costs Climb in Bountiful
Bountiful officials are asking for community help after repeated vandalism in park restrooms caused thousands of dollars in damage this year. City crews have dealt with destroyed toilets, ripped-out faucets, graffiti, and even fires inside bathrooms near schools and trailheads. One restroom near Hidden Lake Circle has stayed closed for three years because of ongoing damage.
Repairs and cleanup are costing taxpayers nearly $10,000, while repeated closures limit access to parks and trailheads for local families and visitors.
If residents have information that could help identify those responsible, Bountiful City Parks officials are encouraging the community to contact the Parks Department or report suspicious activity when they see it.
🚗 Utah’s “100 Deadliest Days” Begin as Officials Urge Safer Driving
Utah public safety officials are warning drivers to slow down and stay focused as the state enters the “100 Deadliest Days” — the busy summer stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day when fatal crashes typically spike. During a statewide briefing Wednesday, DPS leaders and families impacted by deadly crashes reminded Utahns that split-second decisions behind the wheel can have lifelong consequences.
With more families traveling, teen drivers on the road, and summer traffic increasing across Davis County and I-15, officials say safe driving choices can save lives close to home. 👉 Read More

🥍 Farmington Falls in State Semifinal Battle
The Farmington High School boys lacrosse team came up short against the Skyridge High School Falcons boys lacrosse team on May 20, falling 14-10 at Westminster College. Farmington stayed competitive throughout the match, led by Cole Smith’s 5-goal performance and strong all-around play from Wyatt Salmon, who added 4 points and 5 ground balls.
Even in a tough loss, Farmington’s playoff run showcased one of the area’s strongest lacrosse programs and gave the community plenty to cheer for this season.
