new year's eve

There are a few events taking place this weekend to help the residents of the Magic Valley have some fun, to end 2023.

Nope, not going to happen this year. Probably won't happen next year either.

For the first time ever, the Idaho Potato Drop will be featured on a nationwide broadcast!

When it comes to celebrating the new year, there are some cities that always stick out, but which cities are the most fun, and where should you spend it in Idaho?

What would you do? What would you do as a parent if you were child-free on New Year's Eve?

As in past years, the event will include live music, family entertainment, snacks, a beer garden, master of ceremonies, the lowering of the beloved, artificial plant starting at 11:59 P.M., and the firework finale.

Last year Rupert organized a fun event that is sure to be even better this year. The Rupert Beet Drop will take place on New Year's Eve in front of the Historic Wilson Theater. So happy the event was not cancelled.

What if each city in the Magic Valley were a guest at a New Year's party? What kind of person would they be?

Can you handle a calm New Year's Eve party or has 2020 been too much for you and you need to end it with a big bang and a crazy party?

If you thought the potato drop was as Idahoan as it gets, think again. The city of Rupert says they'll be ringing in the new year with a beet drop.

If you want to bring in the New Year with family fun, there are several venues to help you fill that ambition. Your kids will love these places, but the good news for you is that, for most of them, you don’t have to be a kid yourself to enjoy them. You just might have to act like one.

Darrell Hannaman is an owner there, and during a recent phone conversation, he told me the how the company prepares for the high volume of calls that are synonymous with New Years Eve.
