Welcome back, Cache Valley crew! We’ve got that magical mix in the air right now—crunchy leaves, cooler nights, and the faint smell of pumpkin spice sneaking into literally everything.

This issue is stuffed fuller than a Dutch oven cobbler: free family adventures, a spotlight on one of Logan’s coolest boutiques turned global brand (hi, Roolee ✨), and even a fall life hack that’ll make you look like the smartest person in the room.

Grab a blanket, pour a mug of cider, and let’s dive in.

Bullseye Without the Bill

Here’s a weekend freebie that hits the mark: in honor of National Hunting and Fishing Day, both DWR ranges are letting you target shoot for exactly zero dollars.

Round up the family, channel your inner sharpshooter, and see who can actually hit the bullseye instead of just talking a big game.

Benson Boone’s Twin on Campus?

Apparently, USU has its very own Benson Boone look-alike wandering around—and The Utah Statesman spilled the tea.

If you’ve ever thought, “Wait, did Benson Boone just cut me off at the Marketplace soda machine?” …you might not be wrong.

Leading With Love

Forget the “shark tank” approach—USU’s Huntsman School just got a masterclass in heart-first leadership.

Erin Clark showed students that you don’t need a cutthroat attitude to win in business (turns out kindness scales, too).

Cache Valley Daily covered the inspiring talk, and honestly? It’s the pep talk we all needed this week.

REAL ESTATE LISTING

This Hyde Park Paradise Has It All—Even a Chicken Clubhouse

If HGTV and SportsCenter had a baby, it would be this house.

We’re talking granite countertops, hardwood everything, a master suite bigger than your first apartment, two kitchens (because one is never enough), and more storage than Costco.

Step outside and it only gets wilder: a full sports court (tennis, pickleball, basketball—take your pick), a 30x40 shop, immaculate landscaping, fruit trees, grapevines, waterfall, firepit, and yes…a clubhouse/chicken coop that might just be the most bougie hen house in Cache Valley.

Take a peek at the full listing

Sloppy? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely.

Some dinners are fancy, some are healthy… and some are just plain messy in the best way possible.

Enter: the Sloppy Joe.

Pile it high, let it drip, and embrace the chaos—napkins required, dignity optional.

Bonus: this recipe is way better than the canned mix your mom used back in the day.

The Dryer Sheet Vent Hack

When your heater kicks on for the first chilly nights, tape (or rubber-band) a dryer sheet over a floor vent.

As the warm air blows through, it lightly scents the whole room while also catching dust bunnies that sneak through the system.

Result? Your living room smells like “clean laundry cozy” instead of “hasn’t-run-the-furnace-since-April.” Cheap, simple, and your nose will thank you.

Spotlight: Roolee—From Logan Boutique to Global Sisterhood

Once upon a time in 2013, a little Logan boutique got a big glow-up when Kylee Champlin took the reins.

Fast forward to today, and Roolee is no longer just that cute shop you swing by on date night—it’s a full-on worldwide vibe.

Think bohemian + vintage had a chic baby, dressed it in kids’ clothes, added trendy home décor, and then shipped it to your doorstep.

But Roolee isn’t just about outfits that make you feel like the main character—it’s about community.

Their A World of Sisters movement is all about kindness, empowerment, and cheering each other on (because who doesn’t need more of that in their feed?).

They’ve raised funds for the Logan Cancer Center, supported women’s health causes, and somehow kept a family-like culture going while employing over 100 locals.

So whether you’re popping into their Logan store (165 W 1600 N Ste 110) or scrolling their Insta-worthy website at 1 a.m. in your pajamas, Roolee is proof that Cache Valley cool can—and does—go global.

Next time you rock a Roolee fit, just remember: you’re not just wearing clothes, you’re joining a sisterhood.

And that’s a wrap for this week’s roundup!

Whether you’re hitting the sports court, hunting down the perfect fall fit at Roolee, or trying out our “why-didn’t-I-think-of-that” hack, we hope your week is full of warm drinks, belly laughs, and fewer lost shoes.
