A Busy Weekend Across Southeast Idaho
The state tournament wrapped up a busy stretch for Idaho communities, many of which have also been keeping an eye on late-season weather. A freeze warning remained in effect for portions of Southeast Idaho through Sunday morning, with the National Weather Service out of Pocatello issuing the advisory through 9:00 a.m. MDT on May 18.
Meanwhile, Bannock County residents have had no shortage of local events to follow in recent days. The Bannock County Historical Society is marking an annual community tradition this spring as well, adding to a full calendar for area families.
