The Flying Karamazov Brothers

The Argyros

Expect the unexpected with The Flying Karamazov Brothers, featuring the four self-proclaimed eccentric lunatics spicing things up with laugh-out-loud comedy, wild theatrics, arcane errata, and astonishing juggling feats. Formed at UC Santa Cruz in 1973, The Flying Karamazov Brothers have been seen around the world, on Broadway, on television, and on the big screen. They are not Russian, they are not brothers, and they don’t fly but they are “as close to a sure thing that can be found onstage, 100 minutes of cleverness and comedy that go by in a flash.” - The New York Times

Blaine County’s Housing Needs, the Impact of New Development and Local Solutions

The Community Library

Blaine County’s most recent Housing Needs Assessment was conducted in 2022, which describes the housing affordability gap and missing housing needs and services for current and future residents. The assessment was updated in 2023 to include preferences of those residents seeking housing, such as housing type and location, and unexpected barriers to housing. The Blaine County Housing Authority (BCHA) will present this report. Matt Prosser from Economic & Planning Systems will follow this presentation with the findings from the recently published nexus study, which quantifies the impact of new commercial and market-rate development on employee generation and therefore additional demand for community housing. The study, titled "New Development’s Impacts on Community Housing Demand in Blaine County, Idaho," was published with generous support from the Spur Community Foundation. This program will be livestreamed and available for later viewing.
