“When things get tough, Ogden shows up for each other!” That’s what Steve’s Black Sabbath BBQ, Taboo Pizza, Talisman Brewing Co., Law Tigers, and Pit Master Supply Co. are saying as they team up to give five local families in need a complete Thanksgiving dinner this year — and they are asking for recommendations from the community.

Five families will receive a complete Thanksgiving dinner made by Steve’s Black Sabbath BBQ, with support from all five businesses:

The one and only festival of its kind west of the Mississippi and it’s right here in Ogden — time to don your robes and grab a White Russian. Ogden’s Big Lebowski is back at the historic Peery’s Egyptian Theater, at 5 p.m. Saturday. It’s a celebration of the Coen Brothers’ 1990s cult classic featuring a costume contest, trivia, prizes, themed art vendors and cocktail bar, and the film screening of “The Big Lebowski.” 🗞️Read all about the before and after parties: https://www.theogdenite.com/news/ogdens-big-lebowski-fest-the-dude-abides-for-11th-annual-celebration 🎞️🎳

This week in Ogden, Nov. 3-9 | Happy Election Day! 🗳️🇺🇸 Today, Ogden will elect four city council members to represent us - drop off your ballot or get to the polls to vote by 8 p.m. You can still register to vote! November brings politically-themed art to Ogden this week with “Faces of Dissent” art exhibit at Ogden Union Station and NEXT Ensemble’s “Polarized.” And a man who’d probably win in a landslide if he ran for office, is back — The Dude. It’s the 11th annual Ogden’s Big Lebowski Fest on Saturday, where we’ll vote for the best robed “Dude.”

11/03/2025

Tuesday, Nov. 4, is the 2025 Municipal General Election, and Ogden will be electing four city council seats. Why should you vote? In this article, we take a look at why off-year local elections matter most and all the info you need to vote. YES, you can still register to vote at the polls!

In Ogden this past year, we’ve seen a 25% water rate increase for a $99M project (2024), a killed Weber Housing Authority project to house 25 chronically homeless disabled individuals with wraparound services – instead the City Council voted to purchase the Aspen Care Center for demolition for $2.2 million (March, 2025), Ogden City Council vote to restrict flags on city flagpoles – before the state HB77 required it (April, 2025), paid parking coming to downtown Ogden (currently on pause due to community backlash), City Council changes to homeless camping ordinance in 6-1 vote, and loss of greenspace: Grandview under development and Taylor Canyon destined to have the same fate.

We have a candidate for City Council who accepted funds, thousands of dollars over the legal limit, from an extremist pastor in Arizona, and attends an Ogden church whose pastor called for the ex*****on of “rebellious” Black youth in a podcast.

Two of the incumbents running for re-election have been in office for over a decade: Marcia White (2014-2025) and Bart Blair (2010-2025).

Whether or not you agree with these actions by your local government, alarming associations and wrongdoing by a City Council candidate, or career-length City Council terms, it’s time to pay attention. Ogden is undergoing major shifts, and your vote will shape its future.

Local business owner Anna Cash of (pictured) made a statement with her Halloween costume this year.

“I wanted to create a costume that honored the suffragettes’ determination to fight for women’s right to vote,” she said. “Here in our hometown of Ogden and across the country, we have a pretty low voter turnout rate, and it breaks my heart. So many men and women fought for our right to vote, we should never take it for granted.”
