Dino Stroll is the most realistic tour back into history with animatronic dinosaurs that are created with moving heads, necks, tails, wings, eyes blinking, mouths that open and close, breathing movements, synchronized sounds and many more exquisite details that bring them to life.

This must-see event will provide an opportunity to see and feel what it was like when the world’s largest creatures roamed the earth!

The University of Idaho vs Idaho State University annually competes to raise funds and fill their community and campus pantries. This event directly effects those who are food insecure in the community and on the campus. Funds will go to the Idaho Foodbank.

Boy Scouts will be picking up food at residences and dropping it off in various locations (site list attached below). The Idaho Foodbank is one of the bigger sites to receive food and food is coming to the warehouse directly instead of the Boy Scout Office as in previous years.

Empty Bowls is grass roots movement by local artists to help end hunger in their
own communities. The idea is very simple. In cooperation with the Pocatello
Arts Council, ISU Clay Club and the Idaho Food Bank, local ceramic artists will
create bowls for the event, while local restaurants and grocers donate soup and
bread for a simple dinner. Tickets to the event are a $20. donation. Each donor
will choose their own handmade bowl and enjoy a variety of soups and bread.
Live music and a cash bar will round out the event. All proceeds support the
Idaho Food Bank to help end hunger here in our local community.
This will be our third empty bowls event here in Pocatello, and we are looking
forward to our most successful event to date. This year local ceramic artists will
make 200 bowls, and local musicians will provide a live performance for the
event.
