Wallet Found in Bank of Utah’s 4th Annual Where’s the Wallet Cash Quest

The Where’s the Wallet Cash Quest invites treasure hunters from across Utah to follow a series of clues leading to a hidden wallet at a mystery location somewhere in the state. The first participant to find the wallet receives $10,000 in cash and chooses a Utah-based charity to receive an additional $10,000, for a total prize of $20,000.

After five weeks of clues, side quests and statewide treasure hunting, Aiden Jonkman of Utah County found the hidden wallet at Alien Tower Trail at the Point of the Mountain between Draper and Alpine. Jonkman took home $10,000 in cash and had the opportunity to donate an additional $10,000 to The Family Place, a nonprofit organization that has worked to strengthen families and protect children for more than 40 years. The Family Place serves families in Cache, Franklin and Rich counties.

Central Bank Brings New Life to Historic S.O.S. Drug Store in Springville

Central Bank has purchased the historic S.O.S. Drug Store on Springville’s Main Street and plans to reopen it in November 2026 under a new name, S.O.S. On Main. The reopening has created plenty of excitement in the community, as residents look forward to once again enjoying old-fashioned sodas, ice cream, coffee and the nostalgic atmosphere that made the location a longtime gathering place in Springville.

Central Bank will own and operate S.O.S. On Main as a nonprofit, with proceeds benefiting local schools, charitable organizations and community causes.

“Springville has such a rich history, and we’re excited to see Main Street embrace those roots and traditions again,” said Mark Packard, president of Central Bank. “Between reopening S.O.S. On Main and rebuilding our historic Central Bank building, this is about preserving something meaningful while creating new memories for the community.”
