• The Cache Catch-Up: Brews, Splashes, Deals, and The Big USU Search!
    May 27 2025

    Hey Cache Valley! Time for your essential weekly catch-up. This episode is packed with local goodness and maybe a few giggles.

    • We toast the arrival of Home Range Brewing downtown, located in a historic spot on Main Street. It's a tavern-style bar where interaction is key (seriously, no screens!). Discover their commitment to sustainability and local flavors, like a witbier with oranges from "Citrus Scott".
    • Beat the heat! The Splash Pad at the Laub Plaza is officially open for the season, 9 to 9 daily. Find out why downtown is the place to be for family fun.
    • Downtown's changing! The Plaza 45 buildings next to the splash pad have new owners after a $1.5 million sale. Hear about the vision for this space – think food, offices, and shops.
    • Our parks and trails are hitting the jackpot! Cache, Box Elder, and Rich counties just received over $1.3 million in outdoor recreation grants. We highlight specific projects benefiting our area, from trails to parking lots.
    • And the hot topic at USU? The hunt is underway for the next president. After the previous president's controversial 18 months, a committee is seeking a leader for the land- and space-grant university. You can even submit suggestions.

    Don't miss your dose of local news and commentary – hit play on The Cache Catch-Up!
