Davis County commissioners are poised to approve a $7,000 sponsorship of the Bountiful Davis Art Center on Tuesday, August 4, funding four of the nonprofit's signature events through the end of the year.

The sponsorship, recommended by Kent Andersen, the county's director of community and economic development for tourism, and submitted by Tourism Marketing Manager Megan Christensen, would split the money across four tiers: $2,500 as a Silver Sponsor of Summerfest, $2,500 for the Gingerbread Festival and Winter Art Market, $1,000 for Main Street Stroll support, and $1,000 as a Gallery Sponsor for BDAC's 2026 exhibit season. The deal is branded under Discover Davis, the county's tourism arm.

The first event residents will see the sponsorship support is Summerfest, BDAC's flagship community festival, scheduled for Friday, August 7, and Saturday, August 8, from noon to 8 p.m. at Bountiful City Park, 400 N. 200 W.

Admission is free.

This year's theme, "E Pluribus Unum — Out of Many, One," ties into the nationwide America 250 commemoration. The festival features live music, an artisan market, food trucks, family art activities in the Art Yard, and hands-on Heritage Arts Workshops led by master artists.

As Silver Sponsor, Discover Davis would receive a dedicated 10-by-10 booth at Summerfest both days, logo placement on all event signage, and a thank-you from the stage, according to the county's meeting agenda.

BDAC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit at 90 N. Main St. in Bountiful, has offered free admission to its galleries since its founding in 1974. Executive Director Sarina Ehrgott leads the organization. According to the sponsorship agreement, BDAC's donor wall reaches more than 300,000 visitors annually.

Winborg honored after 42 years in housing

At the same Tuesday meeting, commissioners will recognize Jan Winborg's retirement from the Davis Community Housing Authority after more than 42 years of service. Commission Vice Chair Lorene Kamalu is presenting the recognition.

Winborg started as a property clerk in January 1984 and rose through roles including property manager, Section 8 coordinator, and deputy director before being appointed executive director in August 2008. In a resolution adopted June 16, the DCHA Board of Commissioners praised Winborg as a tireless advocate for low-income housing who dedicated her career to improving lives and strengthening communities across Davis County. Board Chair Grant J. Jex and eight other commissioners signed the resolution.

During her tenure as executive director, Winborg oversaw the purchase of the authority's office building at 352 S. 200 W. in Farmington, which provided a permanent home for the agency and generated non-HUD revenue through leasing additional suites.

The Davis Community Housing Authority has served the county since 1972, administering public housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and managing apartment complexes including Meadows West and Thornwood Villa in Bountiful.
