Local Photographer on Today Show

Congratulations to Frances Corkill, owner of Two Photography, on her appearance on the Today show this morning. Frances is a local banker who runs her photography business on the side.

Know Someone Turning 65? Plan a "Welcome to Medicare" Party

Image
Aging is a fact of life. We can't slow it down; we can't stop it, so why not have fun with it? If you know someone who will soon celebrate a 65th birthday, you may want to plan a "Welcome to Medicare" party. Invitations might be in the style of a Medicare card. Decorations might include additional Medicare cards in varying sizes (Medicare placemats?) and red, blue and white decorations. You might even serve red, white and blue foods, such as red velvet birthday cake, vanilla ice cream, blueberries and/or strawberries with red or blue punch. A short program that includes funny stories, poems or embarrassing incidents associated with aging or Medicare will keep your guests in stitches.

Add Some Fun to Your Event With Goat Yoga

Want to try something differnt for your bachelorette party, a birthday party or just because? Do you like animals? If so, booking a goat yoga session may be just your thing.

Several places in Idaho now offer goat yoga sessions spring through fall. So gather your friends and prepare to have some relaxing fun.

Covid-19 and Its Affect on Events

With the world-wide outbreak of the coronavirus, we find ourselves navigating uncharted waters. Events are being cancelled or postponed. Merchants are either cooperating or not. Currently, we are asked to keep gatherings at 10 or fewer for the protection of all. I have had events both cancelled and postponed. In one case, the venue wants to move forward, but merchants do not. In another case, the venue is closed but merchants are refusing to reschedule. One thing we are learning from this experience is to read contracts carefully to find out about cancellation policies. In many cases, contracts are designed to protect the vendor in case the event host cancels. Rarely do they protect the event host in case of emergencies like the one we are seeing now. As you read contracts, be sure they include a clause to protect you. If they do not, ask to have one added. If you are planning a wedding, you can still obtain a marriage license, but it may not be in the usual manner with a trip to y
