Ponies, Porsches & Parrots — Week 3 on the BookField 🐴🏎️🦜📚

Every week out here adds something new to our story — new people, new places, new reasons to laugh (or sweat). But Week 3? It might just be the most random and magical one yet. From viral fame to sandwich recipes, from parrots to Porsches, we’re seeing just how wild and heartwarming the BookField can be. And as always — it’s the little moments that are turning into our biggest memories.

Karolina became a hero for the day when a tiny chihuahua ran away from its owners 🐕💨. Without hesitation, she jumped in to help catch the speedy escape artist. Turns out, knocking skills include dog-rescue reflexes too. 🦸‍♀️

Bohdan had one of those magical BookField moments. One day, he signed up a few families — all living on the same street. A couple days later, he knocked on the very last house on that block… and guess what? All those families were inside, having dinner together. 🏡🍽️ Total coincidence, total magic. That’s what happens when you bring good vibes door after door — eventually, they all gather around one table.

Margo had a legendary day while being followed by our sales leader Oleksiy. One of the families she met? The dad had multiple wives and 17 kids. Yep — seventeen. 👀 And another day became officially known as the “Day of Approaching Kids,” because at every house, it was a kid who opened the door. Every. Single. One. 🚪🧒

Martynka had a colorful encounter this week — literally. She visited a family that owned a huge parrot 🦜… and not just any parrot. This one could unpack candy by himself. Smart, sassy, and a little bit chaotic — just like the best BookField moments. Between her calm energy and surprise animal encounters, Martynka continues to make connections that leave people (and birds) impressed.

Kuba had a week full of style, culture, and unexpected perks. He got invited to sit inside a brand-new Porsche 911 — as in, one-week-old, fresh from the dealership 🏎️. Not your average field car, but definitely a great way to refuel your motivation.

Later, he had a cozy sit-down entirely in Polish 🇵🇱 with a family who ended up inviting him to stay for dinner. Sharing stories in his native language over a meal — that’s the kind of connection that reminds you why we do this.

Artjom’s highlight of the week are sandwiches made by Kuba 🥪. And these weren’t just any sandwiches. The recipe?

🥖 Whole wheat bread

🌱 Spring mix & spinach

🥓 3 slices of honey-smoked turkey

🥗 Ranch dressing

💛 Finished with a sprinkle of love

Simple, thoughtful, and exactly what teamwork tastes like.

Aleksandra had a viral moment when a picture of her ended up on the local Police Department’s Facebook post — and racked up over 500 likes! 🚨💙 Not only is she making friends in the neighborhood, now she’s casually becoming an Utah icon.

Alina continued building her reputation as the most stylish book girl in Utah — all thanks to the incredibly kind and generous local families. This week, she added even more treasures to her growing community sportswear collection:

🏆 4 baseball hats from Coach Brendan, who coached high school baseball for 26 years

🥎 1 Salem softball team shirt

⚽ 1 “La Roca” soccer tee from Coach Ryne Lemon

🟢 And from the legendary Utah Celtic coaches — the Downing family — 2 polos and a hoodie

Each gift came with a story, a smile, and a sense of belonging. As Alina said, “Now I can feel like a local in Spanish Fork.” 💛🏡

And just when she thought the week couldn’t get more Utah… she turned a corner and saw a real pony 🐴 standing in the street. No, it wasn’t a hallucination — it was a birthday party, and the parents had ordered a pony like it was totally normal. Which, around here, maybe it is. 🎉

Speaking of ponies…

This week we were all chasing the prize: the legendary Pony Socks 🧦🦄
