It’s Friday, Logan! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Banff Mountain Film Festival, free zoo day, and immersive theatre The Party + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Today’s sponsor (FinanceBuzz) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news
Six months into leadership: County Executive George Daines talked about streamlining Cache County government, protecting access to roads and trails, adding affordable housing, and preserving open space amid complex state and federal rules — read the full story.
Skates and Olympic inspiration: Utah’s Every Kid Outdoors has launched its 2026 Adventure Challenge, inviting ages 3 to 18 to complete 15 adventures statewide, with a summer event planned in Logan Canyon for families — see what’s planned for 2026.
Adventure cinema with purpose: Banff Mountain Film Festival tour returned to Ellen Eccles Theatre, marking 50 years and 30 years in Logan, and raised scholarship funds honoring USU students lost in a 1997 avalanche — see how the festival gives back.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are. Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you (or someone you care about) to clean up all that up – learn more here.
Highlights this week:

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?
Together with our sponsor FinanceBuzz
Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.
The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.
I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.
This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back
Plant-based curry fix: Tandoori Oven rescues weeknights with clearly labeled vegan hits like Aloo Gobi, Chana Raja, Vegetable Vindaloo, plus roti warm from the tandoor. When you crave cozy, big flavor without cooking, this Logan standby delivers that just-right comfort.
Find something with a past: Cache Valley Antiques is a low-key trove of well-loved wood tables, western-leaning curios, and rustic primitives that make your space feel collected, not staged. Every piece carries stories, patina, and charm that play nicely at home.
Low‑maintenance glow‑up: Sleek Line Brows crafts natural-looking brows with microblading and nano hair strokes, plus eyeliner and areola restoration. They also weld permanent, clasp-free bracelets, anklets, or necklaces for everyday shine… so your mornings feel effortless now and later.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.

Something in your house is about to break 🏠
It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major system and appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’re staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast.
It never happens at a convenient time, and most homeowners just eat the cost because they don’t realize there’s a better option.
American Home Shield covers repairs and replacements on most of your home’s major systems and appliances — old or new, no inspection required.
The best part? Select plans are 50% off now through March 9th.
