Here's another interesting piece from today's Standard-Examiner. Ogden City, (we presume that to mean the "high adventure" Boss Godfrey administration"), has cooked up another primo family-friendly event for our beloved Emerald City:
• Junction City readies for winter carnivalIt's billed as a Godfrey-style"family-friendly event," which we take to mean that former "Ogden Street Fest" arm-wrestlers and Northern Utah single people looking for a weekend of fun are DEFINITELY NOT invited to show up.
Among the many family-friendly events will be "a polar bear swim" and "human snow bowling." Certainly no Ogden families will want to miss these "family friendly" events.
We're also fascinated by the Godfrey administration's concerted efforts to set this event apart from the ongoing Ogden/Hof sister cities' established event, which Boss Godfrey has inexplicably handed off to Weber County. And with respect to that: "Why is that," we ask?
Perhaps the tea-totalling and socially-repressed Elder Godfrey is still irked that actual Ogden adults will do what they did during the years that the Hof Winterfest was in full bloom in downtown Ogden:
In 1987 Ogden started the original Hof Winter Carnival as a way to celebrate Ogden's sister city of Hof, Germany. Like this Winterfest, that carnival featured snow-covered downtown streets and outdoor festivities. Union Station became a giant beer hall...Ewww... what a terrible thing to happen in blue-collar Emerald City!
That would certainly be the deciding factor for our tea-totalin' juvenile and socially-repressed mayor, we think.
Please don't hesitate to offer your ever-savvy comments, folks.
Will this new event become a popular tradition, or yet another Godfrey project Dud?
