Weekend Preview 04.24.08

It’s a slow weekend in Sun Valley as slack has officially set in. But rather than mourn the end of winter, enjoy yourself with a little R&R. Sleep in late. Feast on waffles and eggs. Do some spring-cleaning. And get excited for all of the fabulous summer events that are just around the corner.

Thursday

Start off doing some good for your health with a free St. Luke’s Brown Bag Talk with Kristin and Dan Biggins. These two will discuss the importance of yoga for your health and more from 12:15-1:15pm in the WRMC Baldy Conference Room. Then take it easy this Thursday evening with a night at home. Order in pizza, kick back and watch your favorite prime time shows (and by that we mean Plum).

Friday

If you are Jewish or just curious what better way to get involved than to attend Shabbat services with the Wood River Jewish Community during Passover. The service begins at 6pm at the St Thomas Church and is open to all. Or, wine and dine at Papa Hemi’s Hideaway where local band Four Stroke Bus will rock the house.

Saturday

Start the morning with a heavy duty workout, a long run if you are training for the Sun Valley/Ketchum US Half Marathon or a long bike if the Redfish Triathlon is more your thing. Then head to the Community Campus in Hailey for “El Dia de Los Ninos,” a Children’s Day Celebration from 11-4pm. This carnival affair includes games, a bounce house, food, raffles and more. Free and open to the public.

Sunday

Get ready for spring with the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s 6th Annual Bug Zoo Festival. Enjoy games, crafts, snacks, a butterfly house and of course, the famous Bug Zoo exhibit featuring more than 40 native and exotic insects. The party goes all day long from 1-5pm. For more information call 208-726-9358. Exhibit stays open through May 10.
