The Noon Summer Concert Series is set to begin next week in Logan, Utah, featuring a diverse lineup of local musicians performing every Tuesday in June and July.

The free concerts will take place at the Logan Tabernacle on Main Street and offer a variety of music genres for community members to enjoy during their lunch hours.

Food vendors will also be present at the park, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs to relax and listen to the live music.

Pack your patience and reroute your road trip snacks—the road over Hyrum Dam is closing for a casual 3–4 YEARS (yes, years 😳) while a new spillway gets built.

That means no more shortcutting across the dam until at least 2028. Silver lining? You’ll have time to finally learn the long way around without GPS.

Mark your pool floaties and your calendars—because the Logan Aquatic Center is officially making a splash this Saturday, May 24 at noon, according to Cache Valley Daily!

Time to dig out the goggles, apply SPF like frosting, and practice your cannonballs.

Whether you're there for the diving board drama or the Dippin' Dots, summer in Logan doesn’t officially start until someone screams, “THE WATER’S FREEZING!”

Substitute of the Month Shines at Mount Logan

Shoutout to Ms. Anna Nelson—recently named Substitute of the Month by Kelly Services for her outstanding work at Mount Logan Middle School!

A familiar and friendly face in the halls, Anna credits the supportive staff for helping her thrive. “They always drop what they’re doing to help,” she shared.

Outside the classroom, Anna’s an adventurer—skiing, hiking, paddle boarding, or diving into a great book.

Her dream trip? Waterfall-hopping in Brazil.

Her favorite subject? History and Government.

Congrats, Ms. Nelson—we’re lucky to have you in the Logan School District!

Family Summer Break Hack: The Snack Bin Treaty 🍿📜

You already know you are going to get tired of hearing “I’m hungry!” 743 times a day?

Here’s your summer sanity-saver: create a “Snack Bin Treaty.”

You fill a bin with pre-approved snacks every morning (think string cheese, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc.).

When it’s gone, it’s gone. No refills. No negotiations.

Kids learn rationing. You reclaim snack-time peace.
It’s basically the Geneva Convention of summer snacking.

Bonus: Label it “Official Summer Snack Bin” so it feels like a big deal. Add a sticker. Boom.

Parenting legend status unlocked.

...can you leave the house in a hoodie at 8am, get a sunburn by noon, and still need a blanket by dinner.

See you around town!
