Welcome To Roy Utah!
If you weren’t paying attention
just before your drive to Ogden, you just might miss a town with a famous
burger stand, great fun loving people and a really fun carnival. Welcome to Roy
Utah!
This sleepy little town home to
about 36,000 residents is located about six miles southwest of Ogden, Utah, and
was made an Official City on March 10, 1937. These residents take pride in
their diamond in the rough and welcome all visitors to come and take part of
what Roy has to offer.
As you drive up to park your car at
the Burger Bar you can smell all of the delicious grilled meat fills your
nostrils. Roy is home to a famous burger stand that was featured in “Diners,
Drive-ins and Dives.” Established in 1956 the “Burger Bar” home of the “Big
Ben” is definitely one of the favorite local food places to go to when you’re
craving an old fashioned deliciously huge Cheeseburger.
Katie, from Farr West, who works in
Roy, said that she loves the burger bar and that her favorite thing there is
the “Big-Ben Burger.”
Along with all the other great food
that is available from the fist-sized onion rings to the slightly golden brown
French fries that kind of crunch as you bite down.
Roy is also celebrating its 75th
annual Roy Day’s. Roy Days is a fun filled week were the locals come to enjoy
the city carnival, live entertainment, parade and shop at the many stores that
have more than 100 street vendors selling everything from delicious food to gifts
and artisan crafts.
Mari, Ali and Emily, local teens, said
that their favorite part about Roy is Roy days.
“You really get to feel the spirit
of Roy!” they said.
The people of Roy also vote for a
Miss Roy. Miss Roy is a scholarship pageant for girls and women that are between
the ages of 17 and 23.
Nalani Cummins, 17, a senior at Roy
High School who is running for Miss Roy, said that for those who earn the title
of Miss Roy they have the opportunity to serve their community for at least a
year.
For Cummins, she will team up with
Dove to improve the self-esteem of the young women in her community.
