Two farmer’s daughters run a local gift shop and want you to come feel at home

IDAHO FALLS— A local gift shop filled with unique items run by two farmer’s daughters is a place where “you can come in, relax and feel at home.” Farmer’s Daughters of Idaho, at 2759 North Holmes, next to Vickers Western Stores and across from The Gun Shop, is owned by Penny Frasure. Her sister, Kris, helps with the shop. It opened in 2023, and it’s painted barn red. An old-time wagon sits outside, lit up for Christmas. “Some of the things we’re known for are these snow globes. They are beautiful. They’re mesmerizing,” Frasure said. “And those funny socks. Kris said, ‘You’ve got to have them. ...

Idaho Foodbank sets 1 million meal goal for holiday campaign in eastern Idaho

POCATELLO — The Idaho Foodbank has started its annual Hope for the Holidays campaign, with a goal of providing food for 1 million meals in eastern Idaho over the next two months. About 1 in 7 people in eastern Idaho face food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children, the organization said. The foodbank and 150 local partner groups serve nearly 44,000 people in the region each month. Foodbank President and CEO Randy Ford said high prices for food and other basic goods continue to add stress for families during the holidays, and he urged residents to take part in the campaign. Several fundraisers run statewide. Customers at participating Albertsons stores can buy Holiday Bucks at checkout through Dec. 31 as part of the chain’s Feed Joy campaign, and Maverik is collecting round-up donations at its stores. On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, donations to the foodbank will be matched up to $10,000 by Rodger and Cynthia Shaver. In eastern Idaho, a Light the World Giving Machine will operate at ICCU Headquarters, 4400 Central Way in Chubbuck, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 6 p.m. Nov. 13, and donations will be accepted

Home boys: Blackfoot football finishes 2026 unbeaten on home sod

Attention Under Armour marketing executives: You want to dominate a slice of the eastern Idaho market? Sure you do. How about getting a stranglehold on brand loyalty in an up-and-coming place called Bingham County? Heck, for the right football sponsorship deal, you may even land the Blackfoot Broncos — a team that lived up to your trademarked slogan “protect this house” with uncommon grace in 2026. The Broncos closed out the fall season at 6-5 Friday night in the Treasure Valley, eliminated from the 5A bracket by the Bishop Kelly Knights for the second straight season. Behind that painful reality lurks a statistical silver lining: The Broncos were unbroken and unbeaten in all five of their home games. Unlike the 2025 game, when BK handled the Broncos 40-8, the 2026 rematch ended 42-28 and was in doubt until the final minute. “We fought the whole way and a pick-six with one minute left sealed it,” Blackfoot coach Josh Stewart said. “We were really happy with how hard we competed.” That win is good news for the 10-0 Knights, because the team that eliminated Blackfoot in each of the previous two seasons went on to win the state title (Hillcrest in

UTV Night Light Parade Rolls Into Idaho December 12

If you run a side-by-side and you have been looking for an excuse to string some lights on it, Pocatello, Idaho, has one. The KRW Trail Blazers Christmas Nite Light Ride returns for its 15th year on Saturday, December 12, and the one hard requirement for joining in is that your rig has to glow. Where and When According to the KRW Trail Blazers, the ride starts at OK Ward Park at 1400 West Quinn in Pocatello. Things kick off at 2:00 p.m., and judging begins at 5:00 p.m. once the vehicles are lined up and lit. That gap gives you time to get positioned and make sure every strand is working before the judges come through in the dark. What Can Join This is not a UTV-only affair, though side-by-sides are plenty welcome. The organizers say the ride is open to side-by-sides, ATVs, street motorcycles, and ordinary vehicles alike. The one rule across the board: you have to decorate your ride with lights. If it does not light up, it does not belong in this parade. Prizes There are prizes on the line for the best decorated ride and for the rig that uses the most lights. Those are

Reel Colorful: Historic Pocatello theater unveils bold new murals

POCATELLO — For 77 years, the building at 310 E. Oak St. has been a fixture of the community, a locally owned movie theater that has drawn generation after generation through its doors. Now it is stepping into its next act, with new murals sprawled across its exterior. The theater opened in 1949 as the Crest Theatre and reemerged in 1986 as the Reel Theatre. Saundra Lewis began managing it in 1988 and bought it in 2000. The Reel has functioned as a second-run movie house for decades and recently replaced its weathered and chipped mural with brand-new displays from local artist Nick Hottmann. The previous pitted patina of the exterior walls got a new cream coat over the summer, which laid the foundation for Hottmann’s contemporary-meets-classic design. Lewis worked closely with Hottmann on a design that would be a spiritual successor to the 2011 mural painted by local high schoolers. Lewis said the theater initially tried to save the older mural. The paint kept flaking whenever workers tried to stabilize it, and an attempt to have Hottmann add to it failed. After 15 years in the elements, Lewis decided to start fresh. The new artwork keeps the theater’s old

Bengals fall short in Pk’s to Northern Arizona in the first round of the Big Sky tournament

The Idaho State women’s soccer team’s season came down to one kick from 12 yards away. With the Bengals trailing by one in the final round of the shootout, junior center back Sofia Wolf stepped to the penalty spot with a chance to keep the game going. The whistle blew, and Wolf struck the ball toward the bottom right corner. Northern Arizona goalkeeper Lexi Saveski made her biggest save of the game, denying Wolf and ending the Bengals’ season. Idaho State fell to the Lumberjacks 3-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw Wednesday, Nov. 11, in the first round of the Big Sky tournament at South Field in Missoula, Montana, finishing the year 4-9-6 (2-4-3 Big Sky). “I thought that was a pretty complete game that we played,” head coach Dustin Downey said. “We were resilient. We stepped it up, kept pushing and got a goal back. The team was in a position to advance and played really well. It’s really sad and unfortunate that they didn’t get another game, because I thought they deserved it. But that’s soccer.” The past week had been a whirlwind. The Bengals traveled to Weber State and suffered their worst loss of the
