A total of 28 homes were highlighted in this year’s event held June 6 through June 15. Homes “So where exactly is Huntsville, Utah?” “It’s about a half-step this side of heaven.” Morningside Lodge The third home, Tehana, is located at 6730 N. 2100 E., Liberty, and was built by Land to Sky Construction, Inc. This home seemed to be a favorite of many. The 5,000 sq. ft. home, valued at $900,000, has a hybrid timber frame structure, state of the art gourmet kitchen, and a wrap around deck structurally held by heavy timbers. For about the last month, this has been a reoccurring conversation in my circles. My name is Grant Kolkow and I am the new pastor here at Ogden Valley Community Church. My beautiful wife Linda and our seven children are excited to be here. We think that the church, the community, and Ogden Valley are a perfect match for us. As I have commented The Lodge at Ski Lake shown in the Valley were located in Huntsville, Liberty, and Eden. The Lodge at Ski Lake, built by Calute Homes, Inc., is located at 1946 S. Cortina Lane, Huntsville. This 7,116 sq. ft. home is valued at $800,000, boasts six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Morningside Lodge, constructed by Regency Construction, is located at 948 Yacht Circle Drive, Eden. This 6,346 sq. ft. home features a suspended staircase surrounding a massive log, and covered decks with a panoramic view. The home has a cedar and stone exterior.

Great Food to some of you, I hope to be buried in this valley—and hopefully for a reason other than my preaching! We moved here from the foreign country of Los Angeles where I finished my educa- tion at the Master’s Seminary. Before that— although I was born and raised in Oregon— our hometown for almost eight years was Flagstaff, Arizona where I was a youth/associate pastor. The most significant factor that has drawn me to this church here in Ogden Valley is their emphasis upon the teaching of the Bible. Also, they have a strong love for the Lord Jesus, for each other, and for those in the community. There is nothing special about my family and me. We are down to earth people who love our Lord and enjoy life, but also who have our struggles, questions, and needs as well. Our family enjoys people, the outdoors, horses, old classic movies, and reading—however only some of us really enjoy the theological books at this point! I would like to extend an invitation for you to come by and meet my family and me at Ogden Valley Community Church after the Huntsville Fourth of July parade. The youth group will have a rummage sale, plus we will have some information on the church, and refreshments too. My family and I will be around the church for a couple of hours right after the parade; then we will look to meander around the park to get in on some of the action. It would be a privilege for us to meet you! Do I think that Huntsville is really only a half step this side of heaven? I do. I think that because of the beauty of God’s creations here, and because He has called my family and me here. Does that mean that I think that there are no struggles or difficulties in this valley? Obviously not. But I have seen the impact that the truth of the Bible can make. I have seen its impact on my life and the lives of others, and I look forward to see how God will glorify Himself as the Bible continues to have an impact upon others here.
