What to know about bird hunting in Idaho
JOHN HUBER
The Sun Valley area checks several boxes for hunters. Variety is one of those check marks. Not only is the Sun Valley area a world-class bird hunting area, but it is also a fantastic place for a beginner to navigate the sport. In the valley and surrounding area, hunters will find access to dog trainers and breeders of many local favorites, such as Labrador tetrievers, golden retrievers, setters, and Brittanys. [...]
Sun Valley Writers Conference celebrates 30 years
Pamela Kleibrink Thompson
Like all great stories, SVWC began with an idea. “Years ago, when I was hired as a reporter at The Arizona Republic,” says founder Reva Tooley, “I inherited the responsibility for a popular Books & Authors Luncheon, sponsored by the newspaper. Some years later–after marriage, motherhood, and a home in Ketchum–I got the idea that Sun Valley might embrace a similar sort of event.” [...]
Finding peace at Boulder Mountain Clayworks
Cristy Sellas
Donna put us in contact with Ruth Nelson, one of the instructors at BMC, and my daughter and I began weekly lessons. Our first lesson taught us some basic facts right off the bat. First, it’s much harder than it looks. I watched a few YouTube videos before working with Ruth, and those pros made it look easy. It is not easy. But it is fun, challenging, and messy in a good way.

Putting the Sun Valley Lifestyle All Under One Roof
Cristy Sellas
Though Terry is busier than ever, he doesn’t have much time for photography... or fishing! He’s often on his feet for up to 12 hours a day. He founded Silver Creek Outfitters, a Sun Valley institution and one of the finest flyfishing guiding services in the country. He’s been doing that for half a century and over 30 years in SC’s current location—on the east side of Main Street at 5th Street—a place to shop and talk shop. It’s a destination for the right flies for the river, the right dress for the Sun Valley Pavilion, the right gun for elk season and the right Stetson for the Cowboy ball. Terry has ensured that Silver Creek offers everything one could need for their Sun Valley Lifestyle—all year round and under one roof. But it was a slow process— “not a revolution, but an evolution,” as he said. [...]
