Hey Cache Valley,
Well, September has officially arrived, which means we’re living in that weird Utah weather limbo where you need a hoodie at the bus stop, shorts by lunchtime, and possibly snow boots by next Tuesday. (Mother Nature really likes to keep us guessing.)
This week’s lineup is packed: from farmer’s markets and Pride celebrations to Peach Days, garage sales big enough to count as cardio, and a whole carnival’s worth of cotton candy. We even tracked down a dinner hack that’ll save you on those “what do I feed these people?” nights.
So grab your planner—or just hit the Add to Calendar links we made for you—and dive in. Your week in Cache Valley is ready to roll. |

Word on the Street |
 |
Forget “back to school”—Utah State just went next level with the grand opening of the Carolyn Kem Gardner Learning & Leadership Building.
Picture a campus upgrade that’s part Hogwarts, part Silicon Valley, and all about shaping future leaders.
From high-tech classrooms to spaces designed for brainstorming world-changing ideas (or just group projects that actually get finished), this spot is the new brain hub on campus. Read More... |

Turns out creativity doesn’t retire at 65—it just gets better (kind of like Aggie Ice Cream in the freezer at midnight).
Cache Valley’s Creative Aging Festival is here to prove that art, music, and dance aren’t just for the young and spry.
From paintbrushes to poetry, our seasoned locals are showing off skills that’ll make you rethink what “retirement hobbies” should look like.
(Spoiler: it’s not just pickleball.) Read More... |

From twinkly lights to toe-tapping tunes, The Luminary has been lighting up Logan’s arts scene for a whole decade (yes, that means it’s officially older than most TikTok trends).
What started as a cozy space for creativity has become a local staple for music, poetry, and “did-that-just-happen?” performances.
Ten years later, it’s proof that Cache Valley knows how to keep the arts shining bright. Read More... |

REAL ESTATE LISTING |
This Cove Retreat Has Views That’ll Make Your Jaw Drop |
 |
Looking for wide open space but still want your granite countertops and hidden pantry?
Say hello to your dream property: a 2018 farmhouse on 3.18 acres with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and all the modern perks (hello, theater room + LVP floors).
The master suite’s on the main, the pantry is sneakily hidden, and the place even has two 50-gallon water heaters—because nobody likes cold showers.
Outside? It’s basically a mini-rancher’s paradise: a 20x28 greenhouse, 24x35 shop with a loft, generator, horse-ready pastures, and 2 shares of irrigation water.
Oh, and there’s an ADU for extra income (or the perfect hideaway for in-laws).
All this country living is just 20 minutes north of Logan and 10 minutes from Cherry Peak Ski Resort.
Call today to snag this slice of Cache Valley heaven before someone else saddles up.

Greenlight is the debit card that teaches kids how to manage money before they blow their first paycheck on energy drinks and Crocs in 5 different colors.
You set the rules.
They learn to budget, save, and even invest (yep, like tiny Warren Buffetts with braces).
So go ahead, click the link, grab the free $30, and finally answer their next “Can I have money?” text with “Sure—check your Greenlight app.” Because raising financially savvy kids is cool. And so is $30. |

I'll Take One of Everything |
When Lasagna and Spaghetti Have a Baby… You Get Baked Ziti |
 |
This dish is basically the best kind of identity crisis: not quite lasagna, not quite spaghetti, but 100% cheesy, saucy comfort food that’ll make your family forget you burned the garlic bread (again).
One pan, all the carbs, and enough melty mozzarella to make you consider a cheese-only diet.
Grab the stretchy pants and the recipe here: Food Network’s Baked Ziti |
This Dresser is Basically Adulting in Furniture Form |
 |
Need more space for sweaters, jeans, or the “someday I’ll fit back into these” pile? This beauty’s got you covered.
At 45.5” tall, 20” deep, and 32” wide, it’s roomy, sturdy, and—bonus—all the drawers actually work (you know that’s not always a given with Marketplace finds).
Pick it up in Smithfield by the golf course or have it delivered for a fee—because sometimes it’s worth paying not to wedge a dresser into the back of a minivan.

Life Comes At You Fast |
Family Hack: The Soup Swap Freezer Stash |
 |
Fall = soup season. But nobody wants to eat your chili three nights in a row (not even you).
Here’s the move: team up with 2–3 friends or neighbors and start a Soup Swap Club.
Everyone makes a big pot of a different soup, divvies it into freezer-friendly containers, and swaps.
End result? One afternoon of cooking turns into a freezer stocked with minestrone, chicken noodle, taco soup, and butternut squash magic.
Dinner is suddenly as easy as defrost + breadsticks.
Pro tip: Label with reheating instructions so you don’t end up with “mystery stew.” |

If you’ve ever thought, “I need one more old-timey ladder to hang blankets on,” or “Does my kitchen table really spark joy?” then Vintage Market Days of Northern Utah is calling your name.
Think dreamy antiques, repurposed treasures, farmhouse vibes, handmade goods, and enough boutique finds to make your Pinterest board blush.
It’s basically HGTV meets girl’s day out—and yes, you’re going to leave with something you didn’t know you needed (but now can’t live without).
