If you love a festival with food as the focus, so do we! They've been celebrating the greatness of the cherry in Emmett for 85 years, and this is the weekend for the carnival, music, and more.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about simple choices that we make every day and how they ultimately affect our lives. Simple decisions cost this Emmett man his life and our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who is missing him.
After more than seventy years, an Idaho soldier's remains will arrive back in Idaho this week.
What took so long? Well, that's a pretty unbelievable story of mistaken identity.
The Annual Emmett Cherry Festival kicks off June 15th thru 18th and the local crop is looking good!
Last year, organizers had to bring in cherries from Canyon County because Emmett's crop was mostly wiped out by cold weather.
Any local cherries that were available were gone before the festival began, but that's not the case this year...
