Oh bummer, Trace! Too bad! Good event to include in our travel plans for next summer! . Just think of all the fun things you'll be able to plan on doing once you've made the big move!!!

You forgot one of the biggest events in Eastern Idaho. The Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot from Sept 5-13.
Here is a link for all the days and events.

If you have the chance to wander to Sun Valley for the Hemingway festival, I'd suggest you do so! We had a lot of fun going last year, even took the tour they provide (they just let us hop on the bus for free), which took us graveside and to some of his old haunts (Sun Valley Lodge, where he finished "For Whom The Bell Tolls", etc). Unfortunately, the bar/restaurant full of Hemingway lore (Alpine Lodge, now called Whiskey Jacques) had suffered fire damage just days before we got there, but being a Hemingway buff, there was still plenty to enjoy! Hoping they have rebuilt the bar in the past year.

I'd also like to add that the Eastern Idaho Sports Car Club of America is having it's annual Octoberfast Autocross at the Pocatello airport on Sept 25 & 26. There are usually around 120+ drivers there with every different kind of sports car under the sun, and we love to have riders come out and experience the time trial thrill in a safe and fun environment.

Come one, come all, and look for the red Mitsubishi Evolution X if you're looking for a friendly face from the forum.
