Spring has sprung!

Yes it has!  The days are longer, the sun warmer, the fields are greening, the flowers are up.  And I am so ready!  Not only for summer, but for all of the activities that we have in our little village on the river.

The Elmore County Fair Grounds has now become an events center.  So look for many more activities being held there beginning this weekend.  Check out the Sports Show on Saturday and Sunday, March 16th and 17th from 10 to 5.  If you are an outdoorsy person, you will be sure to find something that interests you.  See what is going on at the Elmore County Fairgrounds website.

If you are into sports, Glenns Ferry hosts the Wooden Bat Tournament April 11th through the 13th.  Also the State Baseball Tournament will be here May 16th through the 18th.  Come and watch these young people play ball!

The circus is coming to town!  On April 4th the King Cole Circus will be spreading its tents and bringing out the child in all of us.  Come one, come all!

Easter is always a great time for family gatherings.  There will be special celebrations at a number of the local churches, including sunrise services.  Some even serve breakfast!  Spend this special Sunday, April 21st, honoring the greatest gift ever given to mankind, Jesus Christ.

The High School Junior Rodeo is back!  April 19th and 20th will bring our young cowboys and cowgirls back to Glenns Ferry for some rootin-tootin fun.  These are talented young people always put on a great show.

Father's Day weekend, June 14th and 15th, features the Community Yard Sale and the Elmore County Flea Market.  It is one stop shopping with treasures for everyone.  And it is a great time to visit our local businesses and check out our special little community.

The Old Opry Theatre will open its doors in June for a summer season of mystery and mayhem.  You will love being involved with the cast and maybe even participate in the performance!  They are open every Friday and Saturday evening through August at 7:45 for the performance or 6 pm for dinner and a show.

The Baptist Church offers Vacation Bible School for all the community children June 24th through the 28th.  Send your children for a good time and great learning experience!

The end of June brings the Bob Mullen Golf Tournament for those of you who like to swing a club.

And there will be another, bigger and better, Old Fashioned Fourth of July with a parade, food and fun in the park, and a spectacular fire works display.

And don't miss the Elmore County Fair July 14th through the 20th.  It is a great time to enjoy the talents of our local artists, gardeners, watch the 4-H clubs show their livestock and enjoy the entertainment offered each evening.

Join us in Glenns Ferry for some old fashioned community fun.  You can camp at the Three Island State Park or other RV sites, visit our museums, sample our local fare and shop at our unique businesses.  But above all, participate in our events!  It is a hoot!
