😔 Missing Man Found Dead in Farmington Canyon

Matthew Bodle, who was reported missing after being dropped off in Farmington Canyon with camping gear and a three-wheeler Tuesday of last week, was found deceased Friday following a two-night search by the Davis County Sheriff’s Office. Crews used drones and air support to navigate difficult terrain after severe weather delayed search efforts. Officials say there is currently no indication of foul play.

Why It Matters: The tragedy highlights the dangers of changing weather and rugged conditions in nearby canyon areas, even for experienced outdoor visitors.

🐝 Lost Tortoise Reunited in Bountiful

The Quick Summary: A wandering tortoise sparked plenty of curiosity after being found hiding under a truck in a Bountiful neighborhood. Animal Care of Davis County stepped in to care for the oversized escape artist in a cozy barn pen while staff worked to track down the owner — and the story got a happy ending when the tortoise was reunited with its family.

Why It Matters: It’s a fun reminder that local animal services help with more than just cats and dogs — and that South Davis neighbors are quick to help a lost pet get home.

🌱 The WELL Market Coming to Bountiful

A new community market is coming to Bountiful on May 30, bringing local vendors, fresh produce, handmade goods, and plenty of feel-good community vibes to the Davis Recovery Club. Residents are invited to stop by from 8 AM to 2 PM to shop local, support small businesses, and connect with neighbors.

Why It Matters: The WELL Market gives South Davis locals another fun way to support small businesses and build stronger community connections close to home.

Want to join as a vendor? Booth spaces are available for $50. Whether you’re shopping, supporting, or setting up a booth, organizers say everyone is welcome.

📲 Contact Becky at 801-427-2197 to reserve your spot.

🍴 Utah Food Festival Returns in May

The third-annual Utah Food Festival is happening May 16–17 at the Natural History Museum of Utah, featuring free samples, local food vendors, workshops, and interactive activities celebrating Utah’s food culture. Guests can explore dozens of local makers and attend hands-on classes covering everything from caramel apples to cooking with wild plants.

Why It Matters: While it’s outside South Davis County, the festival spotlights Utah-based businesses and offers a fun weekend outing for local food lovers and families.

⚽️ Farmington Battles Hard in Region 1 Showdown

Farmington pushed hard against rival Davis on Friday night but came up short in a 3-1 loss in a matchup that decided the Region 1 boys soccer title. The Phoenix created strong late-game pressure and scoring chances, including a penalty kick goal from Jack Burrup, but couldn’t close the gap against the defending region champs.

Why It Matters: Even in the loss, Farmington showed resilience against one of the state’s top programs as the Phoenix prepare for the postseason.
