What popular chain store recently opened a location in Cache Valley, much to the excitement of local moms or maybe even more their teen daughters?

Hey Cache Valley—what do a cowboy rodeo, surprise pizza party, and principal meet-and-greet have in common? They’re all happening in the next week (yes, really)!

Grab your “howdy” wave for Principal Mather on Aug 1, then swing by Salt Hollow Park that night for free pizza and read-in-the-park shenanigans. And if that’s not enough, the Fair & Rodeo rolls into town Aug 6–9 with goats, bull rides, and funnel-cake chaos.

Ready to jump in? Let’s make some memories!

Ever opened your closet and felt like you’re starring in “What Not to Wear: Staycation Edition”?

Time to infiltrate CopperLane’s Warehouse Sale.

From dresses to lounge leggings so buttery you’ll whisper “shh” around them, there’s a little slice of style for everyone… but only if you’re quick.

But fair warning: these goodies are hotter than a Logan Canyon sunset and disappearing faster than free ice cream on a soccer field. 

Use code 10off at checkout for a cheeky little bonus—because who doesn’t love scoring style and bragging rights?

Rock Their Wake-Up with a “One-Hit Playlist” Alarm for Your Kids

With school looming and those carefree summer sleep-ins ending soon, give your kids a wake-up they’ll actually look forward to.

Instead of the dreaded beep-beep, create a short playlist of 3–5 of their favorite pump-up songs—think that latest pop hit or the jam they belt out in the car.

Name it something fun like “Rise & Shine Rally” and set it as their morning alarm.

Why it works:

Built-In Excitement: Hearing their own theme song makes rolling out of bed feel like the start of an adventure, not a chore.

Zero Decision Fatigue: No more last-minute song scrolling—everything is pre-picked, pre-approved, and guaranteed to energize.

Morning Mood Booster: Those first few beats will turn “five more minutes” into “let’s dance to the bus stop!”

Pro Tip:
Swap out tracks weekly—try a “Monday Motivation Mix” or “Friday Family Faves.” Let siblings each choose one song to keep everyone invested. Before you know it, your kids will be up and at ’em, ready to tackle that first bell like pros! 

They’re not just soft and snuggly—they’re giving back!

From couture collections at Minky to cozy Saranoni blankets, these Cache Valley businesses are wrapping our community in kindness and commitment.

Ready for the feel-good details?

That’s a wrap on this week’s whirlwind—school spirit, pizza parties, and rodeo thrills all in one inbox! 

If you’ve got pals who’d lose their minds over free pizza or bull-riding shenanigans, forward this their way (it’s the nicest thing you’ve done since sharing your snacks).
