Good morning, Ogden.
🏘️ Community

The exhibit runs through April to raise awareness and display survivors' messages (based on real client stories).
🎭 Culture
Utah’s Merci Car—one of 49 boxcars gifted after World War II—was moved from Union Station to Cheyenne for restoration by Mike Pannell’s Vintage Rail Restorations and is now about 75–80% complete.
When finished, the car will be trucked to the Legion for a one-time display with Wyoming’s Merci Car before returning to Junction City, possibly as early as May while work continues through August.
Utah Ren Fest, Weber County’s homegrown Renaissance fair organized by Sue Bodily since 2006, will return to Marriott-Slaterville next month after a record 2024 with three themed weekends.
The festival will run May 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 26 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and feature combat demonstrations, jousting, and over 100 vendors — ticket prices remain affordable.
🏛️ Government
The US Air Force now has a stealth fighter built from parts of two damaged F-35 jets — one that suffered engine failure in 2014 and the other was damaged on June 8.
The rebuilt jet cost $11.7 million, saved $63 million, and returned to Hill Air Force Base on March 26.
