Here comes the sun...

Well, welcome to spring in Cache Valley.  Just when we maybe begin to get a small impression that the weather might smile down on us, we get a snowstorm in the upcoming forecast.  Locals who have been here for years are more than used to the sudden changes in temperature. Those who are new to the area.....don't worry, spring is just around the corner!  And we are all looking forward to it. 

Here at the recreation center we are gearing up for Youth Soccer.  We are still taking a few late registrations for U-8 Girls as well as U-10 Boys and U-10 Girls.  The coach's meeting will be held this Wednesday and participants will be getting calls after that.  Coaches will inform their players of practice and game schedules.  If you don't hear from a coach in the next couple weeks, please let us know. 

Other happenings: Adult Softball and Basketball registrations are still going on. Basketball will begin in the middle of April and the softball starts at the beginning of May.  Check out the website for specifics. 

Another sign that spring is almost upon us.....Health Days!!! We are very excited for our 89th (yes, you read that right - 89 years of Health City celebrations) annual Health Days celebration!  This year's dates are May 6th through 11th.  We have so many exciting activities and events, with new ones currently being added.  Stay tuned for more information on that.  As for now, get ready to sign up for the Health Days Fun Run.  Sign ups begin next Monday, March 25th. The race is on Saturday, May 11th at 7:30 am.  It is a great way to start off the biggest day of our Health Days celebration so come on in and register!


Next Monday, we will also begin to take registrations for our third annual Half Marathon and 5k.  We are switching things up a bit this year and the race will be held at the end of July.  Prices are better than ever this year as we are one of the lowest priced half marathons you will find.  Anywhere!  It is $35 for the Half and $15 for the 5k.  This race is a ways out but we want you to be able to prepare as best you can for our Health City Half!

Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for us.  More information on these and all of our programs can be found at www.smithfieldrecreation.com.
