McCall 2011 Winter Carnival

I have been in Boise for a total of 5 months tomorrow!

And there is something pathetic I must admit to.
I have never been to McCall.

I was mildly extremely embarrassed when an old co-worker from Utah asked me:

Old Co-Worker: "What fun things have you done in Idaho??"
Me: "uhhh...I...well...hmm...let's see..."

Old Co-Worker: "You have been to McCall, right?"
Me: "uhhh...I...well...hmm...let's see..."

TIME TO CHANGE MY MCCALL INEXPERIENCE!

I'm not positive, but I have heard rumors that this is the BEST time to visit McCall.

The 46th Annual Winter Carnival is going on until February 6th.



Here are the events I am most excited about this weekend:

FRIDAY, January 28, 2011
5-10 pm: Beer Garden (I don't know what this all entails...but do the details really matter?)
7 pm: Fireworks over the Lake (I sure hope I don't free my patootie off!)
SATURDAY, January 29, 2011
Noon – 1:30pm: Mardi Gras Parade along with all the events after...including live music!
2-4:30pm: Polar Plunge Fundraiser. (Don't you go thinking I am participating.  I will cheer those brave 'folk on though!)

Don't forget that there are awesome ice sculptures outside the whole time for the public to view faaareee! (that's FREE in my Valley Girl accent.  Give me a break I grew up in California). 
There is SO much more going on up there that I hope I can get Mr. Boise Bug to take me too.
