Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 25th of June.
Good morning, Rexburg.
🏘️ Community
Rexburg Pride returned to Porter Park for its fifth year with over 1,000 people enjoying live music, a unity walk, and more than 30 vendor booths—local donors and grassroots funds fully backed the event after it split from Flourish Point due to lost grants.
City officials approved permits and private security maintained safety while a small group of protestors set up a booth nearby.
🎭 Culture
BYU-Idaho Center Stage announced that Grammy-nominated pop artist Andy Grammer will perform at the BYU-Idaho Center on Sept.
25 at 7:30 p.m.—tickets cost between $25 and $75 and will be on sale starting July 1 at 8:00 a.m.—.
🎓 Education
Axa, a fourth-year Biochemistry student, and her sister Yobana, a first-year student in the freshman focus program, came from Ica, Peru to study at BYU-Idaho and are adjusting to new cultural practices like giving compliments on the street—an uncommon habit back home.
They said the caring professors and their sisterly bond—strengthened by their shared trust in God—help them settle into campus life.
BYU-Idaho updated its student housing rules on March 19 so that from fall, single degree-seeking students aged 26 and older must find community housing—many students, including international ones, worry about higher rent, long commutes and tighter requirements.
The change aims to make room for new freshmen and better match church guidelines.
📰 Lifestyle
On Sunday, June 15, BYUI students held a taste-test of five energy drink and snack pairings that aimed to boost late-semester energy, with Reign Reignbow Sherbet paired with sour gummy worms receiving the highest score.
The panel also rated Blueberry BelVita with Original Red Bull and Monster Pipeline Punch with cheddar Cheeto Puffs to help guide students seeking quick energy breaks — the results offer ideas for smart study snacks.
