Rise and shine, St. George!
In today’s planning-your-week edition: Rare waterfalls at Gunlock State Park, Dustin Lynch, and Pinners Conference & Expo + all our favorite events happening over the next seven days.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Utah drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

📰 In the news
Decoding the water outlook: Rare waterfalls at Gunlock State Park began flowing this month. Officials say it signals healthy supply for Santa Clara, Ivins, and west St. George, not the county’s water supply — learn what it means locally.
Local service honors national milestone: Earlier this month, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated 20,000 pounds of food to St. George’s Switchpoint Pantry as part of America 250, helping neighbors facing hunger — read the full story.
A month of creative exchange: Southern Utah Art Guild is hosting free March events, with Close to Home at Red Cliff Gallery in St. George. Expect local art, poetry pairings, and critiques for emerging artists — get all the event details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? American Hartford has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Arcade night, sorted: Whether you’re chasing ticket jackpots or just need a button-mashing brain break, Fiesta Fun Center’s arcade has plenty to keep the crew busy—think racers, rhythm games, and shiny prizes—with mini golf, go-karts, and laser tag waiting when you’ve still got energy to burn.
Make art happen: Whether you’re a seasoned painter or your sketchbook is mostly grocery lists, Southern Utah Art Guild connects you to classes, gallery shows, and community collabs so you can learn, exhibit, and get in front of buyers, then meet local creatives who keep you making.
Head off home headaches: American Home Inspectors delivers thorough, no-drama checkups that catch leaks, roof issues, and HVAC gremlins before they become budget-eaters. Their clear, practical reports let you plan fixes on your timeline, ideal if you’d rather spend spring weekends at Snow Canyon than wrangling surprise repairs.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
