Support Solar!

I just found out about this event, Solarfest, happening Saturday May 30th in Logan. From their website: "Solar fest is a fund raiser to support the development of an outreach center that will show the residents of Cache Valley how to develop our plentiful solar energy resources." Come support Solar Power in Cache Valley!

Pride Festival

Hey Cache Valley-ians! This weekend is Cache Valley’s very own pride festival. Come on down to Willow Park in Logan on Saturday (April 18th) from 12:00-4:00pm to celebrate and support the GLBTQA community. We'll be there!

Ooh, Chocolate...

The Chocolate Festival is coming! The Chocolate Festival is coming!

Saturday, February 7th is Logan's annual Valentine Chocolate Festival. The festival starts at 6:30pm at the Carousel Room of the Bullen Center (43 S. Main, next to the Eccles Theater). It's best to be there right at the start to get a chance at some of the professional chocolate masterpieces. $5 gets you in the door with a booklet of tickets to exchange for chocolate - but you can always buy more than one! Plus there are both a silent and live auction after voting is done, in which you can take home some of the delectable chocolate creations. Proceeds benefit the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, Logan chapter.

When else do you have the opportunity to mingle with awesome people while stuffing your face full of amazing, gall bladder-killing chocolatey goodness while supporting a good cause? (See that photo? That's an entry from a previous year. We're talking rooms FULL of chocolate like that. Still think you're busy that night?)

Loganites, let me know if you want to make a group outing of it. I'll be there.

March for Equality

Follow up: The march was great! It was peaceful and had good attendance. Lots of honks and thumbs-ups from people driving by helped to make it feel like a good, positive gathering. The only counter-protesters were a pair of guys on skateboards holding up signs on paper plates and chanting "dicks are for chicks!" The HJ covered the march here.




This Saturday, Nov. 15th there will be a March for Equality here in Logan. This is part of the Join The Impact movement to promote love and equality in cities around the U.S. The event starts at 11:30am Mountain Time in front of Logan City Hall (255 N. Main). Bring peaceful, non-hurtful signs. Feel free to bring loved ones, friends, kids, etc. to raise awareness of support and love for all people and all families here in Cache Valley. For more info check the Join the Impact link above, or the event on Facebook here. We hope to see you there!

Sweet Peas closing

Sad news, fellow Loganites: Sweet Peas Market is closing. Their last day will be Nov. 22nd, when they will have a big sale on whatever is left (groceries + equipment). They're also having a Benefit Estate Sale at their house, as they have to downsize for their move back to Texas. The sale is this Saturday, Nov. 15th from 10am-5pm at 120 Water St. in Logan. They have tons of girls' clothes, toys, ceramics, new skiis, etc. Please come support Patrice and her family at the store and at their yard sale - they've been so great and we're very sad to see them go!
