It has been the greatest fun -fantastic music with lots of dancing, good food and tons of people to meet or get to know better. It has been an amazing group - - ISU attendees, jr and senior high schoolers, some young, some old, some in the middle and quite a few children with great manners and friendly smiles. I am sure I have the best job in the world! It has been wonderful to spend Wednesday night painting hands, faces, legs and arms. We have a great future generation growing up in the Pocatello/Chubbuck area. They are fun, creative, smart and funny, too. The event is held in the Old Town Pocatello Pevillion - it is amazing! Besides the food, music and door prizes the Farmer Market has shared the space with Revive @ 5 - what a great set-up! The street is closed off so you and enjoy the music while shopping for produce or hand crafted items! It was not good news that this was the last of the 2007 Revive @ 5 events. However, there is the good newsthat the Civitans (who did an amazing job this year) are already planning for next year! We will be there and I sure hope many of you will be too! Among the things that Civitan did for the community was to help buy 250 backpacks and fill them with needed school supplies for students in need. WOW! What a huge undertaking!

Hey Maxine - it would have been great; We could not shell out the 7 bux per person (35 bux for my family) just to get in. Shame on Phil Meador. Thats ok; I got a quarter tank of fuel and we watched for free!!

We had a great time at the fairgrounds for the 4th of July. We were so glad at how well our kids game area was received! We had 4 different games with prizes for 25 cents a game or $1 for a try at all of them. The most fun for us was seeing what kids created while making "Pet Rocks" and red, white or blue star necklaces. A couple weeks ago one of our kid artists made hair for their creation! For the 4th we added a box of yarn peices cut into about 4 - 6 inch strips and tied into small bundles. Lots of kids glued them onto their pet rocks for hair. What a hoot. For just $1, kids could make a pet rock and design a necklace, too. We hope to add a few more of these family friendly priced items for next year. If anyone has an idea or two for fun, easy games feel free to let us know what has worked well for you. Feel free to copy any of our craft projects for your family or event. The 4th in Pocatello is one of our favorite events for the summer. This year was great - just a light breeze and it was not 103 degrees like the day before! My face paints did not melt at all! ; - D! I loved the fireworks; the commentary and music are really uplisting and spirited. We are so bless to be Americans! On a side note - Who ever was selling corn at this event really knew how to do it right. The ears of corn were beautiful and they were cooked to perfection! The kids really loved the Juke Box Games, too.
