Ogden will host the first archery qualifiers for the Youth Olympic Games in July of 2009, according to the International Archery Federation.
The 2009 Youth Archery World Championships are the main qualifier for the Youth Olympic Games, which will be held in 2010 in Singapore.
The 2009 Youth Archery World Championships is expected to bring more than 450 athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 from more than 50 different countries to compete for titles and Olympic spots.
The organizing committee will be headed up by Greg Easton and Denise Parker, a three-time three time Olympian and the youngest medalist in the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
The competition will be held at Weber State University.
NATIONAL TRAILS DAY
National Trails Day is June 7. The event encourages people to get outside, get active and experience the wonders of trails in their communities.
Trails can become pathways to better health. Regular physical activity, including using trails and pathways, is very beneficial for preventing or controlling many diseases.
People are invited to join the staff from Wasatch Mountain State Park for a walk in the park along the new Gold Medal Mile Trail and the future site of the Huber Grove Trail. The event begins at 11 a.m. at the visitor center. Call 435-654-1791.
The Lakeview Trail will open at Rockport. Call 435-336-2241.

FISHING REGULATIONS
Anglers who would like to see changes in Utah's fishing regulations have until June 4 to voice their opinions.
"2009 is still a long way ways off, but our biologists need time to determine how practical and biologically sound each idea is," said Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR.
"They would like to receive your ideas before June 4. Then they'll do the work needed to decide which ideas will work."
The DWR will present its final recommendations to the public in September.
