Five More Weeks of Supporting Local
Farmers Market Ogden Launches 2018 Fall Market Offering Extended Weeks of Fresh Produce
September 29th – Ogden, Utah. Ogden Downtown Alliance is excited to present another season of Fall Market by Farmers Market Ogden! A slimmed down version of Farmers Market Ogden, Fall Market features a vibrant array of Fall produce, specialty artisan goods, live acoustic music by local artists, warm seasonal beverages, yoga, community activities and more.
Held at the Ogden Amphitheater, Fall Market starts this Saturday, September 29th and will continue through October 27th, from 9 am to 2 pm, offering five additional weeks of supporting our local farmers, artisans and musicians.
From decadent crepes to hearty soup, Fall Market has accepted 58 vendors this year, bringing more variety and a larger produce selection. New this year, Front YogaLoft will be hosting weekly community yoga classes on the Amphitheater stage at 10 am and two live acoustic performances by local artists will be featured weekly, with performances starting at 10:30 am.
With Farmers Market Ogden ending in September, harvest continues, creating a gap in fresh produce access in our community. Ogden Downtown Alliance recognized this need and produced Fall Market and Winter Market. Excitingly, this means Ogden is now home to twenty-four weeks of Farmers Market Ogden.
Mikkol Richins, Event Coordinator for Fall Market, says “I can’t wait for our community to bundle up and come out to enjoy our quaint market with different vendors they wouldn’t have seen during Summer market. The Fall market has an ambiance of its own that will bring Autumn to Ogden.”
Farmers Market Ogden is an authorized EBT/ SNAP provider and will be offering participants an opportunity to make EBT exchanges at Fall Market for fresh produce by checking in at the entrance information booth.
Vendor registration is now closed. No on-site registration or weekly vendors will be allowed.

In an exclusive interview with CMRubinWorld founder C. M. Rubin, Professor Nick Bostrom at the Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford University in England discusses the threats to the human species in the age of advanced AI and its impact on a relevant education for today’s world.
Smart machines have edged their way into people’s lives in nearly every industry, transforming our societies. Advanced AI has already significantly challenged the brains of humankind. As unprecedented opportunities created by this intelligence continue to grow, so do the ethical, moral and educational challenges for today’s world. Professor Nick Bostrom at Oxford University, who is also a founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute, identifies threats to the human species in the age of AI and the ways to prevent life-shattering events from occurring. “Superintelligent AI should be developed only for the benefit of all of humanity and in the service of widely shared ethical ideals,” says Bostrom.
In his recent interview with CMRubinWorld founder C M Rubin, Bostrom shared his perspective on the growth of AI and its inevitable impact on the future of education. He believes while AI is moving too fast to integrate new ideas into curriculum, providing “a broader base of computer science education,” including programming, is a good idea.

• Child sex abuse
Marci Hamilton is working to change the statute of limitations to make it easier to prosecute clergy who sexually abuse children. Hamilton, who has been working for two decades to end child abuse, also says clergy, like health care professionals and teachers, should be legally required to report suspicions of child abuse. “Lawmakers must step up,” she said. Hamilton is the founder of CHILD USA, an academic think tank based at the University of Pennsylvania. (EDITORS: Additional information)
• Psoriasis myths
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears contagious even though it is not. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine surveyed the general population as well as medical students to understand stereotyping attitudes toward the skin condition. Overall, more than half of the respondents said they did not want to date someone with psoriasis, and one-third said they did not want to shake hands with someone suffering from the disease. Those who knew someone with psoriasis, however, demonstrated less stigmatization. (EDITORS: Additional information)
• Higher rent, lower rent
Sky-high real estate costs, financial insecurity, and job instability have pushed many people out of the home-buying market and into rental units, especially in large cities. Benjamin Keys of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, however, has found a disturbing trend: Rents for the most expensive places are declining while rents for cheaper places are rising, adversely affecting those on the lower end of the income scale.
