Ogden worker Jayden Jones honored with Ogden Grit Award at Weber County meeting
Summary
At the June 16 Weber County meeting, Sarah Toliver presented the Ogden Grit Award to Daily Rise employee Jayden Jones, praising Jones’s consistent hospitality across the cafe, drive-thru and farmers market; commissioners offered congratulations and Jones thanked the community.
Sarah Toliver introduced Jayden Jones and read a nomination recognizing Jones, an employee of Daily Rise, for "reliability and heart" and for creating "a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Ogden." Toliver said Jones leads Daily Rise’s Farmers Market booth and elevates customer interactions across multiple service points.
Chair Commissioner Gage Froerer and Commissioners Sharon Bolos and Jim Harvey applauded the recognition. After receiving the award, Jones told the room, "Um thank you, Ogden. I love you," and offered brief, appreciative remarks.
The presentation highlighted local business-community partnerships: Toliver noted an owner of Daily Rise, Jeff Furton, submitted the nomination. Commissioners framed the award as a way to acknowledge hospitality workers who contribute to Ogden’s community and visitor experience.
The award was ceremonial; no county action or funding was associated with the recognition. The commission proceeded to consent and action items after the presentation.
