Who, What, Where, Now!

Welcome to the Dog Days. Woof.

Mid-August and the living is easy. And a bit crazed. We’re all rushing to fit in the myriad: fishing, hiking, mountain biking, hiking, concerts, art shows, the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, dinners with friends…the list is endless. But mind you, it takes some perseverance. But then you’ve got that, right? That, a healthy helping of chutzpah and lots of energy—or you wouldn’t have come to Idaho in the first place.
