Presidential Times

The Gourds are playing at Whiskey Jacues on Monday night.
Presidents Week is always a hot time in the Valley, and this year is no exception. With the Olympics getting underway just over yonder in Vancouver and snow storms teasing on the horizon, it’s a fine time in central Idaho.
Check this vivid variety of tunes, comedy and fun…then tune into the slew of sales around town and the offerings for Valentine’s Day on Sunday.
Olympic Fever Friday: Penelope's Cafe in The Galleria in Ketchum will celebrate the 2010 Winter Games and the local athletes who are competing in them with an Opening Ceremony Party on at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12. There will be a live broadcast from Vancouver on the 120" theatre screen. Penelope's will be serving light fare, beer and wine with a portion of the sales proceeds benefitting the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.
Yucks and stomps: Sun Valley's Winter Concert Series continues Friday and Saturday night at the Boiler Room with stand-up comics Jackie Kashian and Steve Mazan.
