Frequently asked
8 questionsWhat is Cache Valley Chatter?
Cache Valley Chatter is the Hometown Chatter site for Cache Valley (Cache, Box Elder, and Rich counties). We publish local alerts, high school scores, Utah State games, mountain bike results, good news, trails, and local deals — real numbers and official sources only. We are part of Hometown Chatter; sister live region: DixieChatter in Southern Utah.
Which places do you cover?
Cache, Box Elder, and Rich counties. Focus area: Logan, Brigham City, Tremonton, Garden City. Content outside those counties belongs on another Utah region site or the national hub.
How do high school scores work?
We post verified scores and records as soon as an official source confirms them. Sources: UHSAA and the school’s own athletics pages. We never use MaxPreps. Cards stay empty until a number is verified. Every posted score shows a timestamp (America/Denver) and the named source. See the scores page.
Where do mountain bike results come from?
Utah High School Cycling League / NICA results come from utahmtb.org and RaceResult only. Local races need an official posted result. We do not invent placements or times. See the 2026 State results.
How do you handle weather and road alerts?
Alerts come from NWS, UDOT, and local emergency offices for Cache, Box Elder, and Rich counties. Each alert card shows when we last checked and the issuing agency. Clear or expired alerts are removed or labeled — we do not leave stale warnings up as current. See alert sources.
Are you live yet?
Not yet. This is a partner preview — not launched, and feedback is welcome. Pages stay noindex with a visible preview banner until Eric unlocks the region. Structure, visuals, and FAQ are built now so go-live is flip-the-switch, not a rewrite.
Who runs this / how can I trust it?
Hometown Chatter is local-first news for Utah regions. Editorial rule: cite the source, use real numbers, publish fast, no fluff. Photos are either ours or free public-domain / openly licensed images with credit on the page. Income is AdSense and platform payouts only — we do not sell ads into the feed.

How do social posts relate to the site?
Every social post about a story should open the page that story lives on. We write unique local copy; we do not boost or buy placements until there is a revenue path Eric approves.
