Legacy Events Center

FARMINGTON — The check is no longer in the mail — it has crossed the table of the Davis County Commission and will now be deposited for use.

The first, much-anticipated disaster relief and emergency assistance check from the federal government for the Dec. 1 hurricane-force windstorm that tore through Davis County has arrived from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Davis County Commission accepted the $72,600 federal check Tuesday.

FARMINGTON — If the Legacy Events Center grounds are going to eventually expand to include a $302,000 four-field soccer complex, it’s going to need more water.

FARMINGTON -- With Davis County home construction putting the squeeze on open pasture lands where horses once grazed -- forcing some horse owners to relocate -- Davis County Legacy Events Center is diversifying the groups it attracts.

Being able to rely on renting out Legacy Events Center's indoor and outdoor arenas to horse riders to supplement the operating cost of the buildings is no longer feasible, officials say.

FARMINGTON -- Giving dogs a warm place to exercise during the winter is the impetus behind a contract between the Davis County Legacy Events Center and Golden Spike Dog Club.

FARMINGTON -- To cool off under the Phoenix sun, Sitka, a 10-month-old Samoyed, enjoys swimming with his Labrador friends.

But for the most part, the white-haired dog, who upon full maturity could weigh 65 pounds, remains indoors where it's cool.

"(Sitka) is spoiled rotten and lives in the house," said handler Raygen Hensley.

FARMINGTON -- The clanking of tent poles being unloaded by workers from a semi-truck trailer and workers giving construction directions contribute to the 600 hours of labor to be performed the next few days in preparation for the Davis County Fair.

The four-day fair, with the theme "Viva Las Davis," will open at noon Wednesday. The event will be held at the Legacy Events Center grounds, 151 S. 1100 West.
