Monarch butterflies

 

Hi all! I wanted to invite those in Rich county and interested in Monarch butterflies to join our Monarchs of Northern Utah Facebook group. Right now, there is a contest for first monarch siting by county. Rich County hasn’t had a sighting yet that I know of. Cache County just had its first siting on Saturday. You need a photo and a GPS location, you could win $50!

Cisco Sonar-Bryce Nielson

 Why is Bear Lake a different color this spring?


This is a natural occurrence that happens on years where a tremendous amount of water is

diverted into the lake from the Bear River during the spring. Since this water comes from

upland sources and is warmer than the existing lake water it floats on the surface. Because it

has more nutrients than the water in Bear Lake, phytoplankton and zooplankton bloom and

turn the water greenish. It happened before in 2011 when the lake came up nine feet. Bear

Lake is a carbonate lake and in time will absorb these nutrients and they will precipitate out and

the lakes natural blue out will return to its normal color. It is a natural occurrence and it just

illustrates that varied dynamics on this unique body of water.

Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast July 29th

 Donate to Rich County's Largest Youth Program

 JULY 29, 2023 

9:00 AM - 11:30 AM GARDEN CITY OFFICES 

The "Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast" aims to raise funds for the Rich County Jr. Livestock Program to acquire new and improved livestock pens. These pens are crucial for providing a safe and comfortable environment for the young participants and their animals during livestock shows, exhibitions, and educational activities. All donations will be matched up to $10,000 by an anonymous donor.

“Recent severe winter conditions wreaked havoc on our jr. livestock facility, resulting in significant damage to the livestock pavilion. As a result, we had to demolish the building and pens for safety reasons. This setback has put a strain on the ability to host livestock shows, educational programs, and community events that benefit our youth and agricultural enthusiasts. Although we have funds to rebuild the structure, we are still looking for funds for replacement of the pens.
Throughout the event, attendees will have various opportunities to contribute to the cause, whether through direct donations or by pledging funds for specific elements of the new livestock pens.
Donors and sponsors will be acknowledged for their support during the event, emphasizing the crucial role they play in empowering young agriculturists and strengthening the community.

By organizing the "Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast," the Rich County Jr. Livestock Program aims to rally community support and raise funds to ensure the next generation of agricultural leaders has the necessary resources to thrive.”
