We had more than 50 people come out to the Hailey Town Center on Friday, Dec 29 to help send-off Sen. Ron Taylor and Rep. Ned Burns to the Idaho Statehouse. We listened to a presentation from Ron and Ned as they gear up for the 2024 session, and got a sneak peek of what is in store for their District 26 constituents. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments were provided and the silent auction with items donated by local businesses was a great success. Thank you Legislative District 26 Chair Karen Bliss for making this a fun and informative evening.

With the passing of Dick Fosbury, Blaine County lost not only a great representative in local government but also one of its finest inspirations. An avid Democrat, Dick dedicated his life to bettering the community and will be remembered fondly as a great representative for our area. A champion Olympic high jumper, Dick achieved remarkable athletic feats and is remembered as a true inspiration whose legacy will continue to motivate future generations within athletics. His passing is a great loss but Blaine County will never forget his great efforts and positive influence.
