COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Caldwell Night Rodeo has again been nominated for Large Outdoor Rodeos of the year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. This marks the sixth time in the past seven years the CNR has been selected. Cheyenne, Wyo., San Antonio, Deadwood, S.D. and Estes Park, Colo. all of which were voted Rodeo Committee of the Year in their categories a year ago -- are back among the 2007 nominees announced to determine the best of the best in ProRodeo.
The Western Idaho Fair- August 15-24. This is a heart stopper, from the food, to the rides, to the smell in the Llama barn, if you can not find a way to entertain yourself here, the boise basin quilters meet on the 21st. Once again the concerts are free, or at least they ought to be. Hey you get what you pay for in this world. In no particular order, The Temptations, Chicago, Corbin Bleu(isn't that something to eat), and Gary Allan. Remember do not miss the Llama barn or you will not know which smelled worse the shows or the Llama's. That said Stone Temple Pilots and Reba are coming but not in association with the fair, and, you guessed it, they are not free.

Boise State Football- August 30, 6:00 p.m. vs. Idaho State University. Hard to believe that another season is upon us. Seems like the Fiesta bowl was only yesterday. Seems like last year was a waste for hard core bronco fan, who now expects undefeated every year. Should be fun, new sky boxes, new blue turf, new quarterback. You unrealistic fans remember not to boo him until at least the second quarter and his second incompletion.

Dutchoven cook off. August 2. This is a promotion at the South Fork Landing in Garden Valley. It is a river front development with a cabinesque type of setting about 40 miles north of town.
The Yellowpine Harmonica Festival is set for the for August 1,2,3. While this is not in the Boise area, or like the rest of this blog have anything to do with Boise Idaho real estate, I have always wanted to go and have yet to make it. Great camping, fishing, bring an extra 5 gallons of gas, it is a haul to get to yellowpine.
That is all I can come up with in the time I have. Over and out. Mike
