Smith & Edwards Monthly Roundup

June Roundup: Summer Fun with Rodeos, Spices, and Local Finds

- posted by Rose Marion

As part of the web team at Smith & Edwards, I’m always learning about the gear we carry & cool tips for: rodeo, hiking, target shooting, & so much more. And did I mention I’m building Pinterest boards for all of these too? (follow us!)

Instead of keeping all my cool finds to myself, I’m starting a monthly series to feature these great tips & ideas we come across as my team & I build the online Smith & Edwards experience! Leave a comment and let me know what you love or want to share with our readers!

  • Ogden’s Farmer’s Market starts July 11 so get ready! Some of the Highway 89 fruit stands are already open as well, and Canning season is just around the corner.
  • Watch for Smith & Edwards’ canning sales starting in July – we’re partnering with Pettingill’s Fruit Stand to bring you some great recipes this summer! I can’t wait. Watch Pettingill’s Facebook page for all their updates!
  • I can’t get over how adorable these spices are! You know you’ve made it BIG when you’ve got your own line of Herbs & Spices. Our spices come in BIG bottles in over 120 kinds. Rebecca took such cute pictures, I HAVE to get a garden going…

Yum!! – Ever since Marty got that Branding iron, he’s been putting the Smith & Edwards logo on anything that he can find….

  • An in-store FAVORITE, we just added the Libertyware line of forks, knives, cookie sheets & more to our online Kitchen department. This is great-priced outdoor & in-the-kitchen cutlery and servingware. Tell your friends that they can get it delivered now!

Fishing

  • Our fishing guy Chris says Willard Bay is a MUST-GO! “Walleye and Wiper don’t like the heat either. To get to the bottom where they are, use a bottom bouncer and a Kokanee Creek Tackle Walleye worm harness,” Chris says.
  • Remember you can get a Utah state parks pass so your family can hang out at Willard, Bear Lake, and many more of Utah’s beautiful parks for just a flat yearly rateclick here to get yours from the Utah DNR.
  • Special Willard Bay Tip: Remember your bug spray!

Ryli is one of our Sporting Goods cashiers and pulled this slug of fish out of Willard Bay this month. Nice going Ryli!

Are you catching fish? Send us a picture to put on our Brag Board!

  • Show your Smith & Edwards pride with fly boxes we just got in! These are magnetic so they hold your flies tight when you’ve got your hands full.
