Lots to choose from, starting with Idaho: The Movie under the stars, a flea market on Highway 21, a couple of pool parties, the Brundage Summer Chairlift Grand Opening, Nampa’s Fourth Friday, a Super Summer Craft Market, The Boise Music Festival, Alive After Five, Hailey Days of the Old West 4th Celebration, First Thursday free stuff (like apple pie and cheese samples at Trader Joe’s, and candle-making at Lit & Co. Candles), and to top it all off, rampant salsa dancing at the Grove Plaza. Grab your sunscreen and your shades, ‘cause the Treasure Valley social schedule’s getting hot!

*Don’t forget to visit the Appetite for Idaho Facebook page, for more fun in the sun. Idaho places you’ve never heard of, great restaurant suggestions, and some of Idaho’s favorite people. Watch for the Appetite for Idaho book, due out this summer, the first of a yearly series. Have fun!
