April 10th, 2008 Categories: City of Crouch, Garden Valley Events, Garden Valley Neighborhoods, Garden Valley Real Estate, Mountain Shadows
Celebrate Spring in Garden Valley Idaho.
Each spring the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce sponsors a Spring Fling celebration. This year will be no exception. One of my favorite events will be the Arts and Craft Fair. Held at the Crouch Community Hall, the local artisans will awe you with their talents. It’s a great place to pick up some gifts or even a treasure for yourself. Each of the local merchants will have an open house. Expect to find some great sale items. After shopping and visiting with friends and neighbors and making some new friends, relax and enjoy the live music at the Longhorn Restaurant and Saloon. Don’t forget to pick up some raffle tickets. The drawing includes Idaho Steelhead hockey tickets, Grove Hotel reservations, and Garden Valley Trail Rides.
Bring your checkbook. Spring Fling proceeds go to the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund. It’s a great way to participate in furthering the education of our youth.
Saturday April 26th
Don’t forget the Mountain Shadows Stride Fun Run/Walk will be held the same day. Proceeds go to Garden Valley Emergency Services.
Oh! just come for the whole weekend. Idaho Cabin Keepers has a nice selection of mountain cabins to choose from.

You Know You’re In Idaho When….
February 26th, 2008 Categories: Garden Valley Events, Garden Valley Living, Garden Valley Real Estate
… Fish and Game Feeds Wildlife at the Local Rifle Range
Yes! It’s true. Visiting the Garden Valley rifle range, binoculars in hand, I was able to get a really good look at the mule deer and elk coming into the Fish and Game Feeding Station.
I wondered why Idaho F&G chose such an unlikely spot to feed wild animals. About that time, Ben, our local Fish and Game officer, happened by. He shared some insight into the F&G strategy. Ben explained that it used to be the habit of the Fish and Game, local wildlife advocates and often, unsuspecting, ranchers to feed the local herds in the winter. Since elk often live to be over 15 years old, generations of animals learned that it was safe to stay in the mountains during severe weather. 
Certain food sources would always be available. For a variety of reasons, including road development and human encroachment, Fish and Game wildlife management thought it wise to encourage the herds to migrate away from the wintry mountains.
For the past eight years the winter feeding programs have been discontinued. More members of the wildlife herds now leave the mountains for the milder valley climate.
But if the plan has worked so well why are there feeding stations in Garden Valley this year? 
Ben pointed out that the feeding stations are all located on the north slopes. That is the south facing, sunny, side. The plan is to coax the wildlife to the north side of the South Fork of the Payette River, where, he explained, winter can be 6 weeks shorter. By now the animals are living entirely on what’s left of their body fat, built up before winter. After our record breaking winter, the fat reserves are running very low. Reducing their winter stress by several weeks could make a difference in the survival of some animals.
Now I know what the guy meant when he told me, “You appear to have wintered well”!

Record Breaking Snow Fall in Garden Valley, Idaho
February 8th, 2008 Categories: Castle Mountain Creeks, Garden Valley Events, Garden Valley Living, Garden Valley Neighborhoods, Garden Valley Real Estate
Real Estate Sales Start The Year Strong In Spite Of Snowy Weather.
It’s been more than 20 years since Garden Valley has seen this much snow! Idahoans have been hoping for a strong winter, heavy mountain snowpack and the promise of a healthy irrigation season. Well our wishes have come true. I love winter and can’t imagine having too much snow. My friends and co-workers have gotten quite tired of my cheery attitude while they struggle with cabin fever.
Yesterday came close to convincing me that there indeed could be an over abundance. While giggling about the beautiful snowy weather, I look up just as a roof full of snow slid onto the hood of my car. Looks like I’m getting a new hood for my birthday!
Oh well! I’m willing to take it all in stride after reviewing the year-to-date sales figures for Garden Valley. Even as the weather has convinced some buyers to delay planned trips to Garden Valley, total sales are at a very cheery $3,156,259. Compare this to total sales of $12,000,000 in 2007. I’d say we are starting the year out very nicely.
Bring your snowmobiles, snowshoes, sleds and hot chocolate. Enjoy the fantastic winter. It could be your last chance for another 20 years.
