March 4, 2026 - MOA Yoga and Mat Kearney

What’s Up! We’re back with more events for you Provo! and Orem!

To keep with the tradition of mentioning random holidays, today is Grammar Day, so feel free to critique us, also happy Backcountry Skiing Day, and happy Holi!

होली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं!

In Partnership with
Tin Can

A phone for kids that doesn’t turn into a portal to the whole dang internet. And it’s so nostalgic!

If you’re a parent that’s feeling the pressure to get a smart phone, or smart watch, for your kids, but you also know that it’s just not good for them, (and you’re annoyed that the even the kid-friendly ones still allow them to text all the time), then check out the Tin Can!

It allows kids to chat (meaning actually call) and reach their friends, grandma/grandpa, mom and dad when they’re on a date, etc. No apps, no screen, no dumb games, and 100% scroll-free.

Tin Can also allows you to control who can call you. No random numbers, no stranger danger, only approved callers. (You can manage the approved callers list from the parents-only companion app on your phone.)

One more thing, because there are also times you want to keep sacred, you can set up a Quiet Hours schedule, too!

Curious? Take a quick look at Tin Can and see if it is what your family needs right now.

They offer two plans (both go through the internet — but once again, no scrolling possible):
1⃣ Can 2 Can Plan (Call other tin can’s for free!)
2⃣ Call Friends and Family for $9.99/month. First month free ✨

🌊 Boost for Utah Lake
Maybe the next Great Carp Hunt’s prize money will be much higher considering the money the Utah Lake was just able to secure. We’ll see…
According to reports, the Utah Lake Authority has secured $7.7 million in federal funding to support ongoing restoration and recreation projects around the lake. The money will go towards improved water quality, better public access, and getting rid of the dang carp.

✈️ Emergency Landing Near Provo Airport
Fortunately no injuries… but still a scary situation. A small plane was flying near West Mountain when the pilot realized that the engine had failed.
