Don’t Miss These 7 Events in the Magic Valley this Weekend

This week has been hard for many, adjusting to the time change, and catching up on sleep is a high priority for many this weekend. For those who need to adjust or want to find something fun to do when not sleeping, there are plenty of options with fun events taking place around Twin Falls this weekend. Before and after naps, get up off the couch, get out, and attend one of the events happening this weekend in the area.

While many of us will be needing naps this weekend and catching up to the time change from last weekend, others will be antsy to get up and get out. Go support one of the local basketball teams, enjoy some chili, take in a play, do some shopping at a festival, or celebrate the Marine Corps. Whatever you decide to do, have fun, be safe, and enjoy your weekend.
