This is that fresh moment to socialize in the open with your friends, neighbors and the interesting new people in the Valley.<br \/>\nCommunity is what we\u2019re 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\u2019s time to tell the tale of \u201cheyyy.\u201d The days of insular, paranoia-coded surviving are over.

There will likely be some small frosts so sew your veggies inside until late April or even May.<br \/>\nWith ski season over and the glory of outdoor activity, it\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nThe event is sponsored by The Chamber\u2014Hailey &amp; The Wood River Valley, Sawtooth Brewery, MVP Vacation Homes, Hangar Bread (best bread in town!), the Liberty Theater, Ya-Ya\u2019s, Sun Valley Mustard and The Trailhead Bicycles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY ISAIAH FRIZZELL With spring\u2019s grace swinging in, it\u2019s finally time to stretch out and expand your soul from the frigid tightening of winter\u2019s binds into a looser, more flexible and elevated you.
