From Austin, Tx, this staged radio show is at the Colonial Theater only on Thursday, March 5th. Check the idahofallsarts.com site for more info. I can't say that I know much about this performance. Maybe someone can report if they attend or hear more about it.

I have to say I'm truly impressed with the variety of different entertainment the Arts Council brings to Idaho Falls each year. I don't recall having seen this group perform in Idaho Falls before, but I may be wrong. Nonetheless, kudos to all those who work so hard to bring variety to our lives.

If you want to get an early start to St. Patrick's Day, remember Celtic Air is playing on March 7. The Arts Council has more info, or Celtic Air now has their own website along with a MySpace site too.

Listen if you get a chance. Then please post any thoughts you have about Celtic Air, Jacie Sites or this group having released a new CD.

Congratulations to Celtic Air for a new CD! Thank you to the Sites for all they have done to promote and give children the opportunity to learn more about music through their various strings programs.

The Titanic Exhibit has opened at the Museum of Idaho in Idaho Falls The Museum of Idaho and runs through Sept. 07 2009.

This sounds like a new event, or at least one with which I'm not familiar.

"Taste of Home Cooking School- Spring Sensation," will be held at Idaho Falls High School on 05/05/09. It is an event for all the family.

It appears to have local sponsorship; however, I'm unclear if local vendors will simply display their products, or if this is more an opportunity for locals interested in Cooking to connect with local resources etc.

If you know anything about this event, please post it.

Thanks

Tatuphaus Park Zoo opens today. I believe there are new displays this year, although they still may be in the construction phase.

Remember, if you like to visit zoos (or someone in your family does) to check about the season's pass for Tautphaus in Idaho Falls and ask about what other zoos in the U.S. you can also get into with a pass purchased in Idaho Falls. I know the San Diego and National (D.C.) are two facilities one cannot access through a Tautphaus-purchased ticket.

I've been told by those with large families they have saved a lot of money getting local zoo tickets and then essentially walking straight through to other cities zoos in most other states.

If you have ever done this, please post about your experience. Would you do it again? What tips would you give others?

Spring/Summer must be coming for the zoo to open and snow predicted for only 1-2 times this next week.

That's good news. It's been so long since I've been on that end of town I didn't even know they were still in existence
