🌌 May the Fourth Chuckle Corner 🌌
In honor of May the Fourth Be With You, we’re bringing a little extra galactic humor to your day. Whether you’re a lifelong Jedi Master or just here for the Wookiee jokes, we hope these bring a smile from one side of the galaxy to the other. 🚀
⚔️ Why did Anakin Skywalker cross the road?
To get to the Dark Side. 🤣
🤖 What do you call Chewbacca when he gets chocolate stuck in his fur?
A chocolate chip Wookiee. 😂
🌿 Why is Yoda such a good gardener?
Because he uses the forest.🤭
📱 Why did the stormtrooper buy an iPhone?
Because he couldn’t find the Droid he was looking for.😝
🍰 What’s a Jedi’s favorite Italian dessert?
Obi-Wan Cannoli. 😆
✨ May your coffee be strong, your Mondays stay far away, and the Fourth be with you! ⭐️ 🚀
From galaxy-themed treats to Jedi adventures, the Force is strong around Northern Utah this weekend. Here are a few fun ways locals can celebrate Star Wars Day:
🧁 Sweet Treats from Parsons' Bakery
May the 4th just got sweeter! Stop by for custom Star Wars-themed cakes, cookies, donuts, and other galactic goodies. 🚀✨
🚀 Intergalactic Fun at Clark Planetarium
Join the “Clark Side” for an out-of-this-world May the Fourth celebration featuring hologram-making, lightsaber science experiments, cosplay groups, and hands-on space fun for all ages.
📚 Escape the Empire at Davis County Library
Young Jedi ages 8–12 can test their powers in a Star Wars-themed escape room adventure at the Layton Branch. Will they rescue Yoda… or help kidnap him? Sessions run Monday from 4–6 PM.
⭐️ Star Wars Trivia Bite

🎨 New Mural Grants Open in Davis County
The Quick Summary: Discover Davis has opened applications for its 2026 Mural Grant program, offering artists, businesses, and cities a chance to team up on new public art projects across Davis County. Selected projects can receive a 50/50 funding match of up to $10,000 to help expand the county’s growing mural tour. Past mural projects include installations in Bountiful, North Salt Lake, Farmington, and Clearfield.
Why It Matters: More public art means stronger community identity, beautified local spaces, and another boost for South Davis cities looking to attract visitors and support local businesses.
💧 Hold Off on the Sprinklers (For Now)
 |  |
The Quick Summary: Utah water officials say recent rain and cooler temperatures mean most lawns along the Wasatch Front don’t need full sprinkler systems running yet. Homeowners are encouraged to spot-water dry patches by hand and focus instead on improving soil health through aeration or composting. Waiting a little longer can help grass grow deeper roots and better handle summer heat.
Why It Matters: Delaying sprinkler use now can save water, lower utility bills, and help South Davis lawns stay healthier during peak summer drought conditions.
🚨 Missing Teen Reported in South Salt Lake
The Quick Summary: South Salt Lake Police are searching for 14-year-old Ava Coggins, who was last seen Sunday morning near 3600 South and West Temple. Police say she was wearing a gray hoodie and gray sweatpants and is considered a runaway. Anyone with information is asked to call dispatch and reference case number LK2026-12343.
Why It Matters: While outside the South Davis corridor, missing child alerts can quickly spread across nearby communities as families travel throughout the Wasatch Front.
⚾ Farmington Powers Past Syracuse in Region 1 Battle
Farmington rolled to a 16-6 win over Syracuse in Region 1 play after big scoring bursts in the third and sixth innings. Zach Hecht picked up the win on the mound with four strikeouts, while Tanner Madsen went 2-for-3 with three RBIs to lead the offense. Syracuse stayed competitive with a five-run third inning, but Farmington kept the pressure on at the plate.
Why It Matters: Farmington continues to build momentum in Region 1 play as local teams battle for playoff positioning.
