With fair week right around the corner I would like to try something new through our facebook page and I need our community's help. As an editorial staff of two there is no way we could possibly spend the amount of time in Glenns Ferry that would be needed to get photos of all the activities that take place throughout the week. That is where you guys come into play. I am asking everyone to use the hashtag #mountainhomenews to bring it to my attention. You can also email me your photos to editor@mountainhomenews.com. These photos can be of anything from the fair festivities: the shows, the rodeo competitions, your favorite selfie on a carnival ride or munching down on an elephant ear even! Our favorite photos will be ran in an upcoming issue of the Mountain Home News. The amount chosen will be based off of space available. Snap away and send us your best shots!

The City of Mountain Home will be holding a sendoff for the Elmore County Youth Baseball League 12U team who will be traveling to Moscow, ID, for the Cal Ripken Baseball Regional Tournament in the Babe Ruth League at 6 p.m. on Monday July 16 in front of City Hall. The tournament in Moscow will run from July 18 through July 21. Let's get out there and show these kids we are rooting them on as the play for the Pacific Northwest Regional title. Good luck and Go Tigers!!!
