November 4, 2025 - Jane Austen Fashion, Pinner's Conference

What’s Up Provo! It’s Election Day and Use Your Common Sense Day today. Seems like a good combo, but maybe not super fun. Good thing it’s also National Chicken Lady Day, too!

The events keep coming, and the weather is still amazing! Let’s enjoy it while it lasts. Lots to be grateful for—anyway, let’s get into it.

In Partnership with Valley Lights
Let us set up your lights this year

It’s the most wonderful time of year, and it’s even more wonderful if you don’t have to worry about setting up your lights.

Even better, you don’t have to worry about taking them down again in the freezing weather.

Get your lights set up by the pro’s this year. Email [email protected], or visit Valley Lights for more info.

Reach 10,000 11,000+ locals, month after month, guaranteed.

🚴 Master Plan for Trails in Utah released

The state just unveiled the bold new Utah Trail Network master plan. The plan is to link about 3,100 acres of paved trails across Utah—including big chunks in Utah Valley. The plan calls for 2,600 miles of new trails and 500 miles of existing ones to connect 208 towns/cities, 6 national parks, and 25 state parks. After it’s done it means there will be a trail within one mile of 95% of Utahns.

The Jordan River Trail, Murdock Canal Trail and Provo River Parkway Trail will be affected of course. What we were most interested in were the “gap‑closure” measures they plan to take around Orem, Provo and Spanish Fork. There’s a map on their website, and it can be kind of hard to read for us color blind peoples, but hopefully the rest of you can make sense of it alright.

🍩 Ono’s is moving
Ono’s Malasadas has moved to their new PG location! Glad to see that they are growing, but this is sad news for Provo’s east benchers. We’ll keep you informed when we find out what’s replacing Ono’s. (will Ripples come back??)

⚽ BYU Womens Soccer Wins
Huge win in the Big 12 Tournament against TCU. The #8 seed takes down the #1 seed in PKs. Go Cougs! Next game is the semifinals on Wednesday.

🪶 Author Event with Judith Hale Everett
You are most cordially invited to an evening of refined amusement and literary celebration with the esteemed Judith Hale Everett. Engage in lively discourse, wit, and perhaps take a hand at the ever-fashionable game of Whist. (Or, if you’d rather, simply take a turn about the room.) Attendance is gratuitous, yet we regret to inform you that seating is limited—pray, secure your ticket with all possible haste.

🎤 LEA SALONGA: Stage Screen & Everything Between
Disney Legend and Broadway icon Lea Salonga is in town! We wondered what most people feel is Lea Salonga’s best performance—we assumed it would be Éponine—but according to the interwebs, her Tony Award-winning role as Kim in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon is widely considered her best performance. But who cares, they’re all good!
