The Pickleville Playhouse in Bear Lake is a great summer source for fun and entertainment. During the Christmas season, they bring their unique brand of comedy to Logan for Pickleville Christmas. These North Pole musicals are fun and enjoyable for the entire family. This year, Buster the elf (T.J. Davis, who also wrote the musical) leads an always hilarious cast in Once Upon a Christmas, a memorable musical sure to be filled with laughter, romance, intrigue, and some interesting takes on some of your favorite Christmas songs.

The show will run on select dates from November 27th-December 23rd at the USU's Eccles Conference Center. Tickets can be purchased just for the show itself (Adults=$15.95, Kids [age 11 and under]=$9.95), or you can purchase tickets that include a buffet dinner before the show catered by the Copper Mill restaurant (Adults=$30.95, Kids [age 11 and under]=$17.95).

So come enjoy a new Cache Valley holiday tradition, where you can use the buffet to fill up your belly, then shake while you laugh like a bowlful of jelly.

Cache Valley Gift Basket

Chris recently received a gift basket as a thank you for speaking at a local conference. The basket was filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies from Cache Valley.

With so many gift giving opportunites coming up, maybe it's time to think local for your next hostess gift, care package, or holiday neighbor gifts.This basket contained Pepperidge Farm Chessman, Goldfish crackers, Wheat Crisps, and raspberry Milano cookies; Deverle's All-Purpose Seasoning; a sampler of Cox Honeyland honeys; Bluebird chocolates; Caspers Salad dressing; a mug from The Beehive Grill; and a yummy candle from Scentinal.

With so many food production operations in Cache Valley, it's easy to fill up a basket with local treats. The options significantly increase if your gift giving allows for perishible food items: bread, cheeses, ice cream, and local produce.

Any other Cache Valley foods that top your list? If you moved away, what would you crave the most? Any non-food specialties from Cache Valley that you live for? Let us know!
