February Comes Together

Our February issue is coming together as we speak. Christine is burning the midnight oil, downing the Diet Cokes, and laying it all out. Fingers are furiously flying on keyboards as the rest of the writers finish up so we can submit to the printer with two weeks to spare in the month. Michelle is pushing her creative side to its limits designing some awesome ads for our customers and the smell of new print and fresh off the press paper is not far off

And it looks great so far. Christine says February is shaping up to be another fantastic issue of The Edge. Here's what we've got in store:
~Andrea has 10 hot Valentine ideas for us.
~Christine interviewed an awesome young wrestler from Uintah. What a nice kid, too! Just the kind of kid we want our boys to aspire to be.
~Malia, Jenn, and Michelle have the scoop on some local businesses who've stood the test of time and who are passing the test of being the new kid on the block in the Basin.
~and Jenn highlights yet another Friday Night hotspot.

Here's an excerpt from Jenn's article......

"I can sense the excitement before I ever step foot in the gymnasium. The air is electric with anticipation. The ground beneath me hums as the deep, bass tones of the drums vibrate upon my approach. High brass notes pierce the air as the band enthusiastically pumps out the school fight song. The musty odor of old sweat, dust and polished wood floors, mixed with buttery popcorn and hot dogs lays thick around the parking lot, trapped by the slow moving, cold, winter air. The cadence of bouncing basketballs is an unmistakable signal that this Friday night will be packed high energy, fun, and a whole lot of hometown pride."

Want to read the rest? Sorry you'll have to wait. Pick up a February copy in two weeks.

Have you got your January copy of The Edge yet? If not get on over to Davis Jubliee in Vernal and Roosevelt. Stewart's Thriftway, 7-11 on 5th East in Vernal, Maesar 7-11 and various other locations throughout the Basin.

Get Your January Copy!

posted by Jenn

Yay! January's issue is FINALLY here. There was a slight problem at the printer and the magazine was delayed a week, but they are here and on the shelves in stores now. Get your copy today!

WOW! The cover looks much better in print than it does on the computer. I think it looks great and I am really happy with the rest of the magazine as well. It is just so much fun to be a part of it, put it together every month and highlight the best of the Basin.

January is our Technology issue. We've highlighted 9 amazing technological advances in the Uintah Basin, including oil shale extraction, seismic imaging, the new rec center in Vernal, the technology available from UBTA-UBET Communications, Smart homes and a few other bits about the technology that affects our lives here in the Uintah Basin. It's all very interesting and
looks GREAT as well.

We also have our first installment of "The Healthy Edge" in the magazine. It's got our pictures, our stats, our goals and our quotes. Mine says, "I am fat. Some people might term it 'morbidly obese', but its much simpler just to say I'm fat." LOL blunt, honest, to the point and just so true. But not for long! Stick with us and watch us transform under the rule of Carl, our personal trainer. Read it in the pages of the magazine, read it on our blogs and follow along.

I love this magazine and I love being a part of it. Make sure you pick up a copy today.
