Weekly Recommendations
Head up to Bogus Basin for their Summer Activities - It’s not just for the wintertime… this is there perfect way to spend a day of summer! We love skiing & snowboarding at Bogus, but it has just as much to offer in the ‘off-season’. Enjoy summer concerts at their Music on the Patio events, participate in Yoga on the Mountain, take the kids on the Glade Runner rollercoaster, do the Mineshaft Challenge Course, or enjoy your favorite outdoor activities on the trails like mountain biking, hiking & even a disc golf course!
Eagle Saturday Market + Waterwheels Gardens - Spend your Saturday morning at the market at Eagle City Hall! Whether you are in Boise or closely, it is worth a stop if you haven’t been. Featuring many different vendors than our Boise markets, this is one of our favorites in the valley! Make sure to checkout Waterwheels Gardens stand. They are one of the best fruit, berry, vegetable & flower vendors out of the Emmett Valley. If you sign up for their email list & you can order for delivery via email or text. Your produce will never taste better… shop local this weekend!
Celebrate with the Caldwell Night Rodeo Kick-Off - Next week the Rodeo is HERE! Head on out to Indian Creek Plaza to start the hundred year celebration with your boots, drinks & dancing! If you haven’t yet, it’s time to get your tickets for the August 13th-17th rodeo. Caldwell’s event of the year!
Eats + Treats
The Counter - This fun restaurant opened at the very end of spring this year! It’s operated by City of Good, a local non-profit that provides ready-to-eat meals for those who do not have access to food + delivers goods to pantries, & also doubles as space for their programs. The Counter is located in the Shrine Social Club, a music venue on Idaho St. Featuring local ingredients & a menu of smash burgers, fries, grilled cheese + my favorite, Idaho Kombucha, this is a must-try in Boise. Oh, & don’t forget the cotton candy for dessert! Grab a meal, listen to some good music & support a non-profit with an incredible mission for our community.
