Debut of #LookForTheHelpers, a RadioACTive series highlighting folks getting up to #GoodTrouble in the Beehive State, including Nurture the Creative Mind, Native Youth Art Initiative, Fourth Street Clinic and Ogden's Own.

Tonight's lineup of helpers in our neighborhoods:

RadioACTive has served up #QuarantineCocktails just about every weeknight since April 6, 2020. Our goal has been to shine a light on small, locally-owned restaurants, bars and breweries as they navigate COVID-19, and to mix a good cocktail, mocktail or vegan shake along the way. Tonight’s edition:

  • Pete Saltas of City Weekly, which offers Ogden’s Own Five Wives Distillery hand sanitizer in its online store.
  • Steve Conlin of Ogdens Own Distillery, who served up the very first #QuarantineCocktail on the show. Conlin mixed a Madam 75, featuring a half-ounce each of lemon juice, simple syrup and Madam Pattirini gin, topped by 4-5 ounces of champagne. Drink cautiously!
    • Ogden's Own has been making its own hand sanitizer, donating more than 2,200 gallons to the Navajo Nation in its fight against COVID-19. To help offset the costs of production and delivery of such donations, click here.

Amir Jackson of Nurture the Creative Mind, a 501 c(3) nonprofit that empowers and establishes self-value in youth through creativity, while developing marketable skills. In addition to sharing music created through the program, Jackson introduced Valiss and Mercedes to share their experiences.

  • July 11: Community Water Balloon Fight (Youth), 3:00-5:00 p.m. at Union Station (south end), Ogden. Hosted by Nurture the Creative Mind and Ogden Arts Festival:  “All community youth (8-18) are invited to participate in Nurture the Creative Mind's annual water balloon fight. All supplies will be provided and this is a free event. Let's have a great time.”
