๐ŸŽ‰ Rec Center Turns 19 with Deals & Discounts

The South Davis Recreation District is celebrating its 19th anniversary on April 23, 2026, with a full day of deals, prizes, and community fun. Guests can enjoy discounted admission, including $2.50 off daily entry as part of the America250 celebration. Itโ€™s a simple way to join the party while enjoying everything the rec center has to offer.

Why It Matters: Itโ€™s a fun, low-cost way for local families to stay active and celebrate a community staple right here in South Davis. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Details

๐Ÿจ Construction Begins

Construction has officially kicked off on a new TownePlace Suites by Marriott at the longtime J&L Nursery site, bringing new life to a property many locals remember. The project comes after the previous hotel across the street was lost to the I-15 expansion, with developers partnering to reestablish lodging in the area. Crews have already uncovered pieces of the nurseryโ€™s past during excavation, adding a bit of local history to the build as they work toward a 2027 opening.

Why It Matters: This fills a long-standing gap in Bountifulโ€”giving visiting families, event guests, and business travelers a place to stay without leaving the city.

๐Ÿšจ Paddleboarder Found Dead at Jordanelle

Authorities confirmed that an adult male was found deceased Monday morning at Jordanelle State Park while paddleboarding alone. The individual was wearing a lifejacket, and early reports indicate no signs of foul play, with the incident believed to be accidental. The personโ€™s identity has not yet been released.

Why It Matters: With warmer weather bringing more locals to Utah lakes, itโ€™s a reminder to stay cautious and avoid recreating alone on the water. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read More

โšพ Region 6 boys baseball: Woods Cross wins big, Bountiful edged out

It was a split day in Region 6 boys baseball as Woods Cross powered past Alta 14-6, fueled by a five-RBI performance from James Hallows and eight strikeouts from Beckham Stanger. Meanwhile, Bountiful took an early lead against Olympus but couldnโ€™t hold on, falling 4-2 despite seven hits in a competitive matchup.

Why It Matters: With boys baseball region play heating up, these games give local fans a clear look at where Woods Cross and Bountiful stack up against key opponents.

Chews That Do More ๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿถ

Not all chews are created equal. In nature, dogs donโ€™t eat perfectly trimmed meatโ€”they eat the whole animal, fur included.

That fur actually serves a purpose.

Fur-on chews act as a natural source of fiber, helping support digestion and stool quality. They also create a more engaging chewing experience, slowing dogs down and giving them something meaningful to work on.

โœจ When dogs have the right outlet for chewing, youโ€™ll often see:

โ€ข Less destructive behavior

โ€ข More calm at home

โ€ข A more satisfied, balanced dog

Sometimes the best solutions are the most natural ones.

๐Ÿพ Stop by Preppy Paws to explore safe, natural chew options that support your dog from the inside out.

๐Ÿ• Keeping That โ€œJust Cleanโ€ Feeling ๐ŸŒง๏ธโœจ

Thereโ€™s nothing quite like that freshly clean, soft-coat feeling after a bath. Spring rain, however, has a way of undoing it in a hurry. Routine hygiene visits help bring that feeling back again and again by removing dirt, loose fur, and buildup before it settles in.

If your dog has been enjoying the outdoors a little extra lately, now is a great time to get them back to feeling their best.
