Crazee Daze events begin to shape up

On Saturday, May 17, Mountain Home will hold its 42nd annual downtown

Crazee Daze event, sponsored by the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce Merchants Committee.

The event will feature 50 booths, mostly consisting of food and crafts, lined up along the sidewalks in the downtown area.

The entertainment at Crazee Daze will include performances from the Optimist Cheerleaders, the Mountain Home Step Team and the ECHO folkloric dancers, a fashion show sponsored by Maurice's, a pet costume contest sponsored by Katie's Photo Express and musical entertainment by "Rattlesnake Creek."

U.S. Ecology will have a booth at Crazee Daze. They will be the sponsor for a silent auction with the proceeds going to the Mountain Home Cheer Basket and Giving Tree Organization. The items up for bidding include tickets to Roaring Springs, an "Enchanted Evening" package (one dozen roses, Ice World tickets and a night at the Anniversary Inn), a "Camping Extravaganza" package and a "Spoiled Rotten" package (tanning, massage and a Tempur-Pedic pillow) among others.

Advance tickets for the Royal West Amusements carnival, which will appear in Railroad Park May 15-18, will be on sale for $12 at Paul's Market, Idaho Independent Bank, Mountain Home News, Chamber of Commerce, Taco John's, Grindes and Moxie Java. Only a limited number of advance tickets will be available until 3 p.m. on May 15 or until supplies last. The "day pass" tickets are not refundable.

The carnival also is offering a $5 discount coupon good for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The coupons will be good for on-site Unlimited Ride Pay One Price (POP) discounts. Additional discounts can be found by going to www.FunNbiz.com.
