HAFB Spring Expo - Successful OVBA Booth

Christy Tew and Barbara McConvill

The Spring Expo at Hill Air Force Base on May 9th was a great opportunity to introduce Military and Contractor personnel to the Ogden Valley and Canyon.  We were too busy to take pictures while talking to several hundred people that stopped at our booth, but this shot at the end shows our table along side Harley & Buck's table.  Craig Bonham of Harley and Buck's conducted two cooking demonstrations during the Expo to a packed room.  Many thanks to our booth volunteers, Marla Mott-Smith Bowers, Sue Munson and Pam Mitchell, as well as Christy Tew, representing Harley & Buck's as well as the OVBA.  The four women made a great tag team talking up the Ogden Valley and Canyon, while serving Raspberry Lemonade (courtesy of Harley & Buck's) to visitors.  Christy Tew has reached out to the new Outdoor Recreation Coordinator to show him the Valley and recreational opportunities for HAFB employees and Military.  We have already provided him with two boxes of our publications.

The OVBA also provided a prize drawing package with more than $1,000 worth of gift certificates and items to a lucky attendee winner.  Many thanks to these companies for their donations:
