OGDEN — The weather and atmosphere were perfect for a day listening to bluegrass music at Fort Buenaventura. People from all walks of life took full advantage of the sights and sounds of the Ogden Music Festival on Saturday.

The festival has been held annually for about six years, and many locals have enjoyed every minute of watching the event grow.

Courtney Lazalere has been attending since the event started and said this year’s is the best ever.

OGDEN — If someone said you have a 90 percent chance of being in a car accident and you may or may not die, but you can have work done on your car to reduce your risk to 2 percent, would you do it?

That’s how Nicole Batty explains a comparison others may be able to relate to when talking about her decision to get a double mastectomy two years ago.

Batty, 33, of North Ogden, had tested positive for a mutation of the BRCA2 gene, which means she has a higher risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer compared with the rest of the general population.

Because of her test results, she opted to have a double mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery.
