Expanding our Community Green Heart as our Valley Changes
What happens to a community as it faces the changes that come with growth and change? As we’ve all felt the effects of Idaho being the fastest growing state in the nation, many of us have wondered what lies ahead for our community. Will wildlife still wander down Main Street? Will recreation still be as memorable? Will this valley still be the kind of place we all love to live, work, and play in? This fall, at the Sun Valley Economic Forum, Dr. Jaap Vos gave a talk about the incredibly difficult conversation and community discussions that need to happen in the face of growth and change. This moving presentation was a highlight of the Sun Valley Economic Forum, and has prompted plenty of discussion.

Artists’ Studio Tour of the Wood River Valley
The Artists’ Studio Tour of the Wood River Valley will be held on Friday, August 18 and Saturday, August 19 from 11am-5pm each day. Forty established artists from our valley will open their studios to the public. Visiting eight studios over the two days will qualify you to enter a drawing with gifts from participating artists as prizes. There will be art for sale at each location, as well as the leisure to discuss techniques and inspiration with the artists themselves. In these days of molasses-speed supply chains and slowed down shipping, it makes even more sense to shop regionally from artists who have stock on hand ready to hand over to you. Let’s all celebrate summer with locally produced and acquired goods. Profiles of the artists can be found at www.artiststudiotour.com. The site includes images and contact information for each artist. Click for map Download Map Here
