An American story: 'Weber Reads the Founders and their Documents'

Many cities around the country have book discussion groups, but Weber Reads is unlike most of those, according to volunteer coordinator Margaret Rostkowski.

For one thing, she says, Ogden is the ideal city because it is small enough that a lot of people know each other, yet large enough to have resources such as Weber State University.

OGDEN — Thousands of people entering the Antique and Modern Gun Show on Saturday were asked, “Are you carrying any guns with you today?”

Before noon, uniformed security guards at the door of the Golden Spike Arena Exhibit Hall had 50 to 60 weapons being held for safekeeping.
