Several fireworks shows in Cache Valley from July 3-5 will celebrate Independence Day.
Loganâs display will take place July 3 at Willow Park, with the show beginning at 10 p.m.
Typically, Loganâs Freedom Fire celebration is held at Maverik Stadium. Parks and Recreation director Russ Akina said because the city was planning this event months ago when the COVID-19 pandemic was more of a concern, they decided to go a different route.

The reopening of the Logan Aquatic Center on Memorial Day after a yearlong hiatus couldn’t have come soon enough.
Although Memorial Day itself was relatively cool in Cache Valley, the week ended with four days of record heat, and the center got very close to its visitor limit.
“I don’t think we reached our maximum capacity, around 1,300, but we got awfully close to it,” Logan Parks and Recreation Director Russ Akina said. “When it’s hot like this, we sometimes have to put in protocols that would limit the number of people that can enter the pool.”
A piece of Logan bench property sold this month by Logan city brought more than double the amount set for a minimum bid.
The land along Aspen Drive in northeast Logan, which was pre-approved for a 22-lot subdivision, went up for bid with a minimum asking price of $900,000 and sold for just over $1.8 million, according to Logan City Attorney Kymber Housley.
The land attracted nine offers, and the top bid came from Capstone Commercial Finance of North Logan. The listed agent for the LLC is Brent Lawyer, who could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

âWeâre under contract with them now. They have a 60-day due diligence period, and then weâll close within 30 days after that,â said Housley, who had speculated before the sale that the tight local housing market and soaring home prices could raise demand for the property, especially since it is one of the last pieces of land available on the Logan bench.
