With spring’s grace swinging in, it’s finally time to stretch out and expand your soul from the frigid tightening of winter’s binds into a looser, more flexible and elevated you. This is that fresh moment to socialize in the open with your friends, neighbors and the interesting new people in the Valley.
Community is what we’re known for here and seeing the folks you might run into at the post office or the grocery store for a bit longer is a true treat. You never know what could become of these conversations. Even that odd nosey or offensive neighbor, like Gladis Kravitz, who presents poorly, is perhaps simply intellectually starved, so talk to them! Laugh, make merry, mingle and flirt! Flirting season is back. It’s time to tell the tale of “heyyy.” The days of insular, paranoia-coded surviving are over. We’re back in reality and we’re ready to enjoy life again rather than simply existing.
The High Mountain Heard is playing the Spring Fest Street Party on Friday, April 25 from 4-7 p.m.
In their own words, they are a “folky punky honky-tonky slushy rock n’ roll that will leave you smiling ear to ear and probably a wee.” Say no more, we’re in!
The party will take place on 1st Avenue between Bullion and Carbonate streets in Hailey.
A kid-friendly event, there will be food trucks and a kids’ corner with games. Of course, for adults the beer shall flow and the tunes bewitch.
Officially one of the Valley Chamber events, you can view similar details at https://valleychamber.org/events/spring-fest-street-party-in-hailey/
Needless to say, it’s the kick-off to an already warm spring. There will likely be some small frosts so sew your veggies inside until late April or even May.
With ski season over and the glory of outdoor activity, it’s also time for a communion of sorts, a connection with the community and pure revelry with live music, plenty of comestibles and the joy of being outside in the weather of revelry.
The event is sponsored by The Chamber—Hailey & The Wood River Valley, Sawtooth Brewery, MVP Vacation Homes, Hangar Bread (best bread in town!), the Liberty Theater, Ya-Ya’s, Sun Valley Mustard and The Trailhead Bicycles.
