Start the year off laughing with this murderously funny comedy that has become one of the staples of American theatre! Two friendly old spinsters use their "special" elderberry wine to make a killing! If you think that's crazy, there are plenty more zany antics to keep you laughing all evening long.

Davis Area CVB Promotes 'Tourism in your own Backyard' for all Davis County elementary students.

Submitted by David Wells, Senior Web Producer

In 2005 the Davis Area CVB began a campaign “Have a Summer of Fun in Davis County” to help educate elementary students about tourism in Davis County by sending home over 35,000 flyers to every student at the end of the school year. The flyers list attractions, main events and cultural arts for students to visit through out the summer.

In 2006 a contest was added to encourage visitation and participation. All children that visited each of the venues received a validation stamp, brought in their flyer to the Davis Area CVB and received a Cool Prize. Their name was then entered into a Grand Prize Drawing to be eligible to win one of four Grand Prizes, a Lagoon Season Pass or a Cherry Hill Season Pass.

The campaign and contest have had a great response over the years not only from the kids but from the parents as well. This year the Davis Area CVB will be distributing over 43,000 flyers to the school district as well as the Davis County charter schools.

Valley View Elementary students provide service at school

Valley View Kids stepped up to provide service for their own school on May 21.

Kids volunteered during PE and recess to help spread wood chips around the playground.

"I am so impressed that the kids had the option of a free day for PE and many chose to help spread wood chips on the playground during PE and also during recess. I am so inspired by these kids. People that say kids just don't care anymore - have not met the kids at Valley View Elementary, stated PE teacher, "Cowboy" Ted Hallisey
