Got your summer glow yet? Ditch the desk and spend some time out in the community getting to know the Treasure Valley even more. Here are the perfect excuses: A Friday night concert and food truck rally, archery and a free lunch for youth out in Homedale, Book Bingo at the Saturday Market, a Memorial Day Tribute at Kleiner Park, a mid-week Farmers Market, and Alive After Five...

It’s heating up outside, and that means more fun, more festivals, more friends and family time. On the calendar for this week: Russian food and culture, a school carnival, Parade America in Nampa, the state’s largest garage sale, volunteering on a farm, BSU Commencement, sailing on Lake Lowell, and life story writing...

This week has everything. Ice cream, music, rugby, stories, history, comic books, bouncy houses, petting zoos, climbing walls, and Dart Zone. And… someone’s going to win themselves a sweet Mustang at the Ford Idaho Center. Boise Music Week School Night Concert Fri...

The Treasure Valley’s serving up lots of free or almost-free choices with festivals, BSU State Men’s Tennis matches, community lunches, historic sports displays, cutting horse shows, mad science, and a Zoo full of kids, animals, eggs and the Easter Bunny...

So many things to see and do this week: People turning themselves into dogs (sort of), puppet shows, the Indian culture, music from an African Children’s Choir, community bike rides and noonday walks, a free tennis day for kids, and a free BSU tennis game to watch, works of art, free egg crate planting, green smoothies and free scoops of ice cream...

Spring Break is HERE, and conversely, that means there’s not a ton of community stuff scheduled, since the community knows we’ll be trying to spend time with family and friends. Treasure Valley Parks, Idaho campgrounds, and the favorite fishing spots are all welcoming us back...

Every Friday at 6:40a and 8:40a Amy Larson gives you some ideas to do with the family over the weekend in the Treasure Valley.
