Hey Cache Valley friends!
Welcome to the almost-Thanksgiving edition of Cache Valley Locals — that magical week where we’re all pretending life is normal while secretly making lists, checking pantry shelves, and wondering how many cans of cream-of-something soup we actually own.
This issue is your pre-feast warm-up: fun events happening around the valley, family-friendly activities, things to do before the holiday chaos hits, and a few cute ideas to tuck away for next week’s big celebration.
So pour yourself something warm, take a deep breath, and enjoy the calm before the turkey storm. |

The Holiday Concert That’ll Give You Goosebumps (The Good Kind) |
 |
Okay, friend… if your November already feels like a chaotic mix of Amazon boxes, school concerts, and finding that one strand of lights that refuses to work—pause.
Breathe.
Because the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra is about to sprinkle some serious Christmas magic on Cache Valley.
Think: soaring vocals, full-body chills, and the kind of “I need hot cocoa immediately” vibes that mark the official start of the season.
If you’ve never been… it’s like someone bottled the spirit of Christmas and said, “Here, sit down and enjoy for 90 minutes.”

Wait… What Just Happened at City Hall?! |
 |
If you thought local politics in Cache Valley was all quiet meetings and polite nods, buckle up—because Mayor-elect Mark Anderson just resigned from the City Council, and now the whole “who’s taking his seat?” shuffle has officially begun.
It’s giving “musical chairs: government edition,” and yes, it’s as intriguing as it sounds.

Life Comes At You Fast |
The Turkey Photo Safari (Your Kids Will Vanish… in a Good Way) |
 |
If your little turkeys need something to do besides asking when the rolls are done, send them on a Turkey Photo Safari.
Give them a phone or kid camera and a scavenger list—something cozy, something orange, someone laughing, the best-looking food…
Boom.
They’ll disappear for 45 minutes like tiny National Geographic photographers, and you’ll finally get to baste the turkey in peace. |
The “Decorate a Cookie for Someone Else” Trick (Sweetest Hack Ever) |
 |
Want a Thanksgiving activity that’s cute and keeps tiny hands busy?
Set out sugar cookies and frosting—but tell the kids they can only decorate a cookie for someone else at dinner.
Suddenly you’ve got 20 minutes of quiet, focused creativity… and a table full of cookies that feel like little edible love notes.
It's wholesome chaos at its finest. |

It’s soft, relaxed, ridiculously flattering, and roomy enough to let you live your best mashed-potato life without feeling like a stuffed turkey. If you want comfort and cuteness—this is the one. |
