This is one warm and snowless January. At least Thursday it was warm and that meant plenty of walking around in the sun, slushy slopes and happy campers. As Friday cools off, there still plenty going on.
A bevy of happening events up and down the Valley...
First off on Friday, Jan. 14, at 7:30 p.m., the Sun Valley Center will present The Indian dance and theatre troupe Ragamala. Rooted in Bharatanatyam, a classical dance form from southern India, the dancers blend dance, music and poetry. This evening's performance will also feature taiko drumming by Wadaiko Ensemble Tokara of Nagano, Japan. The show will be at the Community Campus in Hailey. Tickets are $25 members / $35 nonmembers/$10 kids. Get tickets here.
On Friday, Winter Feast for the Soul will begin its 40-minutes-every-day-for-40-days meditation period. The first gathering will be at 6:30 a.m. at Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center. For more information, visit www.winterfeastforthesoul.com.
On Saturday, the Formula Sports Skoch Cup will be held on the Warm Springs side of Baldy, beginning at 10 a.m.
There will also be music in many of the bars and restaurants this weekend, including the Paul Tillotson Trio rocking (yes, rocking!) Whiskey Jacques’ two nights this long holiday weekend.
On Saturday, The Sun Valley Winter Artist Series will present a guitar recital at 8 p.m. at the Church of the Big Wood on Saddle Road in Ketchum. For more information call 725-5807.
