The full Utah Valley calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:
1. Model Train Show
University Place, Orem, March 7-14, all day
Some estimate that model trains have existed in some form for nearly 250 years, so it’s not surprising that seeing those machine chug around those miniature tracks still gives us a thrill. To see some of the best models, head to University Place in Orem this week. The event website says: “Come experience the world of Model Trains at University Place’s Model Train Show. See the amazing artistry of these trains, cities, and landscapes. This will be a fun display for all ages, including the young at heart. This show is put on in conjunction with the Ophier Tintic & Wester Train Club”

2. BYU Cougarettes in Concert
Covey Center for the Arts, March 7, 7 p.m.
Likely the most decorated and successful program at BYU is the Cougarettes, which have been consistent national champions in various disciplines for decades. The concert website says: “The BYU Cougarettes are incredible artists and athletes. They are celebrated in their creativity, artistry, and talent across many dance genres, including contemporary, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and musical theatre. They are also 26 time national champions in both the division 1A Jazz and Hip-Hop, and two-time Gold medal world champions. We cannot wait for you to see them on stage!”

“KPop Demon Hunters” proved to be a sensation in recent years and that makes the music a great background for a laser show. The center website says: “Experience an immersive laser light show set to music in our planetarium. KPOP Demon Hunters are here to reinforce our local Honmoon with songs like Golden, Takedown, and How it’s Done.”
