Plans for Expanded Education Center
|
|
|
|
In 1995, Friends of Antelope Island, Inc., was formally organized for the purpose of promoting, preserving, and improving the “visitor experience” at Antelope Island State Park. Over the years, “Friends” has been involved in projects aimed at improving facilities, protecting wildlife, expanding educational use, and promoting recreation at Antelope Island. Through generous donors and matching funds, usually from State Parks and Davis County, Friends has raised more than $500,000 for hundreds of projects.
Earlier this year the Utah State Legislature appropriated $12 million for construction to expand the Learning Center to accommodate visitors and students who want to learn about the amazing eco-system on Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake. State Representative Steve Handy (R-Layton) was instrumental in the request for this funding.
The current visitors center is about 5,100 square feet and will be remodeled and expanded into a 15,000 square foot state-of-the-art education center that will enhance the experience of those who visit Antelope Island each year.

Annual Bison Roundup |
|
|
|
Witness a true Western experience as hundreds of horseback riders round up nearly 700 bison on Antelope Island. This annual event helps ensure the continued health of one of the nation’s largest and oldest public bison herds.
Riders begin at 9:00 a.m. from Fielding Garr Ranch and move the herd north. Visitors can watch the Roundup from the eastside road or they can view the final push into corrals from a viewing area at White Rock Bay.

Elections |

They really aren't Scary
|
|
|
|
|
Utahns love Halloween, but they don't want to be scared when it's time for the General Election — that's why the Davis County Clerk/Auditor's Office is hosting a "Secure Elections Town Hall & Tour."
“The way that elections are processed is, for the most part, unknown to the average citizen,” said Davis County Chief Deputy Brian McKenzie. "It’s the unknown that creates uncertainties, misunderstandings, and fear, and that’s what we want to help with.”
The "Secure Elections Town Hall & Tour" will be held Oct 12, 2022, at 6 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, at 61 S. Main Street in Farmington. Attend virtually.
You may have heard scary stories about dead people voting in elections, but zombies and ghosts don't vote in Utah. Community members who attend the Town Hall & Tour can rest in peace knowing that the Davis County Clerk/Auditor's Office is continually updating voter registration rolls, including removing the names of those who have passed away so they don't receive a ballot. This process, and many other safeguards built into Utah's elections, will be shared during the discussion and tour. No questions about elections are off limits, so don't be afraid to ask!
