    A Taste of Idaho
    by Sarah Huebner

    Maine has its lobster (replete with annual lobster festivals). Louisiana has its spicy Cajun cuisine. Alaska has its king salmon. And Florida has its, well…oranges. Idaho, of course, has its Famous Potatoes. While marketed well outside Idaho, however, those celebrity spuds have been in short supply at times at in-state retail locations. So, what kind of tasty cuisine do we really have here? Find out in this centerpiece story, the entrée of a holiday season food package that focuses on Idaho’s fine food.


    Parma—Spotlight City

    by Betty Derig

    Near the present-day Parma location, there was once a mighty frontier fort. For many years during the 19th Century, that fort was primarily a trading post with a strong British presence–indicated by the Union Jack, which fluttered above the fort for twenty-one years. Eventually named Old Fort Boise, it was the hub for many 19th Century fur traders and westward-bound Oregon trail pioneers. Old Fort Boise Days, every June, is now the main event in Parma, a Treasure Valley town that has grown a strong agricultural base.

    Stagecoach Sunset
    Cathy Koon

    During World War I, Yellowstone National Park in western Wyoming made way for the newfangled automobile by bringing to a close the era of stagecoaches in the park. Our writer tells the saga of Wilmer Cadmus Green, her great-grandfather, an eastern Idaho resident, and part of the park’s last group of stagecoach drivers.
