Join us for a memorial walk/run honoring and supporting women and families affected by infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss.
It’s our 7th annual event! We’d love you to join us to support a great cause around Mother’s Day! New venue at our Boise location!
Chances are, we all know women who have been affected by infertility, pregnancy loss, or infant loss. Mother’s Day may not feel the same to them. In 20“`17, on Mother’s Day weekend, my pregnancy took an unexpected turn and I lost my son Ben at nearly 20 weeks. Running was a form of therapy and solace.
In 2020, my dear friend Rachel Skeen reached out to me with a vision, which has grown over the last 6 years into a beautiful community.
This cause will have a kick-off in-person event in Boise on May 3th- (International Bereaved Mother’s Day), continuing through May 15 with virtual options. If you can’t join us in Boise Idaho, you can run/walk on your own time and at your own pace.

Downtown Caldwell bursts to life with an atmosphere that feels both celebratory and deeply rooted in Mexican heritage.

Tejano Outlaw and Nueva Generacion 2000 share the stage throughout the night bringing us authentic Latin sounds. Joining them in the spotlight is the always festive Ballet Folklorico Mexico Lindo dancers.
Colorful rows of vendors line Downtown streets, offering handcrafted goods, art, and clothing that reflect the richness of Mexican heritage.
The scent of authentic food fills the Plaza, drawing people toward sizzling grills and bustling taco trucks. Every bite is a celebration of spices, flavors, and culinary traditions—steamy tortillas, slow-cooked meats, bold salsas, and sweet treats that make the experience unforgettable.
Most of all, Cinco de Mayo at Indian Creek Plaza is about community and family. People of all ages and cultural backgrounds come together in one place to celebrate Mexican culture and history, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and full of life.

This is not just a battle against mythical creatures; it’s a journey of self-discovery, where the characters learn what it means to truly belong.
A Double Cast for Dynamic Performances One of the most exciting aspects of this production is its innovative double casting. Each lead performer will take on the roles of the main characters in two performances, while also participating in ensemble roles during the other shows. This unique approach not only showcases the incredible talent of our young actors but also allows them to explore different facets of their characters and engage with the story from multiple perspectives. Audiences are encouraged to come back for multiple performances to witness the varied interpretations and energy that each cast brings to the stage.
A Large Ensemble Cast The heart of this production lies in its large ensemble cast, which adds depth and richness to the storytelling. With a passionate group of young performers, the stage will be alive with energy, creativity, and camaraderie. Each ensemble member plays a crucial role in bringing the mythical world to life, whether they are portraying gods, monsters, or fellow demigods. Their collective enthusiasm and passion for the performance create an electrifying atmosphere that is sure to engage the audience from start to finish.
High Energy and Tons of Fun Await! Prepare for a high-energy spectacle filled with lively choreography, stunning visuals, and an unforgettable score that will have you tapping your feet and cheering for more. The infectious spirit of the cast will draw you into their world, making it impossible to sit back and simply watch. This is a show that promises not only to entertain but also to inspire, as it resonates with themes of courage, friendship, and the search for one’s place in the world.
Support Our Young Performers! As you embark on this mythological journey, remember that your support is invaluable to these talented young performers. By attending the show, you are not only enjoying a night of fun and excitement but also encouraging the next generation of artists to pursue their passions. Your presence in the audience means the world to them and helps foster a love for the performing arts that will last a lifetime. Join us for this spectacular adventure, and witness the magic unfold right before your eyes!

MAKE STUDIO WORKSHOP SERIES
THURSDAYS MAY 28-JUNE 11 | 5:30-7 PM | MAKE STUDIO | AGES 10+ | FREE
Three-session workshop series to learn about and create the perfect balsa wood glider. No experience necessary.
This short class relives my path to Rocket Science. As a child of the 1960s space race, all things of air and space were the rage. Model airplanes were the way people of all ages joined the fascination with space, many following it through to NASA, the moon landing, and etc. However, I stopped at gliders for their simplicity and the simple beauty of wings and tail. Over the course of three 1.5hr workshops, participants will build a glider, have an in-depth flight lab to perfect it, and refine skills for continuing this simple and wonderful tradition.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
How to assemble a balsawood plane
How to finely tune a balsawood plane, for the perfect flight
A good sense of the materials and techniques
TAKEAWAYS:
A beautiful balsawood plane
MATERIALS TO BRING:
Close toed shoes and clothes for the shop environment.
INSTRUCTOR BIO:
Trained as a rocket scientist (Aerospace Engineering, Princeton), but built a career as a computer scientist at the dawn of the internet. After a decade of programming, pursued (and caught!) a doctorate in Computer Science (Brandeis University) to finally learn something about programming. Returning the favor, taught at Boise State University briefly before returning to industry. Currently retired.
Every Thursday night, kids from the community (accompanied by an adult) can bring their bike to work hands on with our team of volunteer mechanics to repair or maintain their bicycle free of charge! Anyone is welcome and can come any time between 6pm-7pm.
