Angela won both the 3000 and 5000 meter races, which helped the Lady Wolverines capture the conference championship. The men’s team from UVU also won the conference championship. Both Angela and Allison are now competing in the outdoor track season and have already competed in meets at UNLV and San Diego State. Both Angela and Allison are former Weber High School athletes. Good-luck to these local athletes as they continue in their outdoor season.

The Centennial 4-H Ambassadors for the Weber County horse program are Aurora Quinn (right) and Korinne Clark. Their coach is Connie Neal. Among the many programs that 4-H has to offer is the opportunity to become a state ambassador. But, first, youth have to compete to become a county ambassador. As an ambassador, the girls completed projects to improve their community and/or their 4-H club. This year, Aurora Quinn chose to restore the Eden horse arena. Aurora is the daughter of Lance and Casey Quinn of Eden. Don’t Miss Out on 4th Annual Snowcrest Relay! The 4th annual Snowcrest Relay powered by Ragnar will be on Saturday, May 5 at 12 noon at the Snowcrest track. This fun-run is a 15-mile relay where teams of 1, 3, 5, or 15 can split up the run into the 1-mile legs. In the past, we have seen some super athletes, some cute future athletes, and some not-so-athletic athletes competing; however, all are welcome! As you can see from the photos from last year, nobody will be laughing at you if you are not so athletic because they will be laughing at the hilarious costumes that many team members wear! There are four ways a business, group, family, or individual can donate to our one-and-only PTSO fundraiser of the year. 1. The most fun way to contribute is to put together a team, get dressed in something crazy, and come out and run! It costs $15 per entry, and each runner earns a Ragnar tech tee and a swag bag full of prizes. 2. If you cannot put together a team, a business can contribute items to fill our swag bags. The runners love the chapsticks, lotions, water bottles, cookies, goodies, and discount coupons. For a $25 contribution we will include your provided advertisements in our bags. 3. Also, we will be having a Silent Auction at the race. We need items and services to auction off or to have as prizes for our raffle. If you have something to contribute to the Silent Auction or prizes for our raffle, please contact Melissa Lewis at 745-3039. 4. Finally, an eye-catching and popular place at the event is always the blow-up toys playground. We need businesses to sponsor or cosponsor these favorite elements. You will be able to put up your banner on them. Please contact Natalie Post (745-9456) if you are interested. Come on out and support Snowcrest, get some exercise, and have a good laugh with your friends and neighbors! Fiddler on the roof casting call for terrace plaza playhouse On April 7, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, casting auditions for Fiddler on the Roof will be held at Terrace Plaza Playhouse, 99 E. 4700 S., in Ogden. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth, and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality, and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy, and sadness. Fiddler on the Roof is about the little village of Anatevka, Tevye where a poor dairyman tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of change, and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. There are roles available for people of all ages; families are also welcome to come and audition. Terrace Plaza Playhouse’s production of Fiddler on the Roof will be directed by Susan Wilhelm with Jamie Balaich as the musical director and Rachel Helwig as the choreographer. Fiddler on the Roof runs June 15 through July 28, 2012 on Friday, Saturday, and Monday evenings.
