SS Performing Arts Band will entertain at Light The World event
The LIGHT THE WORLD GIVING MACHINE sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is finally coming to Southeast Idaho, and the Soda Springs Performing Arts Band will be on hand to welcome it!
The band has been invited to entertain patrons of the machine at noon on it’s opening day. They will play from 12-12:30 on Saturday, November 15, as patrons from all over the area come and provide help for people all over the world.
The machine will be located at the Idaho Central Credit Union Headquarters in Pocatello, Idaho. This wonderful experience is free to the public, and all are welcome and invited to come and give!
Winter Coat Exchange
Cohlee Winward and Bonnie Speas have been collecting gently used winter coats and clothing from the community as a part of their community schools outreach. The project is a way for those in need of winter clothing for the upcoming year to obtain needed warm gear from those who no longer need it. The project is available to anyone in the community, and certainly makes a lot of sense for the younger set, whose changes in size while growing lead to a high turnover in seasonal clothing.
If you have coats, gloves, scarves, hats, or other cold weather items that you’d like to donate, that can still be done up until 9 a.m. on the morning of the 7th at Tigert Middle School.
The official coat exchange will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on November 7 at Tigert.
Clothing that you may have been saving to donate to locations out of town can be put to good use right here in the county for those who need it, or would just like to look into an exchange of size or style.
Flu Shots available at SIPH
It is well and truly flu season, and the Southeastern Idaho Public Health Department has flue shots available for those who would like them. The shots are recommended for those in high risk categories, which includes: older people over age 65, young children, under age 2, people with chronic lung disease (such as asthma and COPD), diabetes (type 1 and 2), heart disease, neurologic conditions, and certain other long-term health conditions, pregnant women, health care workers.
SIPH reminds the community that the flu shot is the single best way to prevent the flu, and that even if you got a flu shot last year, you will still need the flu shot this year to be protected this flu season. The best time to get your flu shot is before
flu activity is high in your community.
Call the SIPH office in Soda Springs with any questions, and to check for availability. 1 (208) 547-4375.
Thirkill PTO Christmas Market
This weekend on November 7th and 8th, Thirkill Elementary will host a Christmas Market from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. inside the school building at 60 E 4th St S in Soda.

Crafts, food, craft foods, and more will be available from your favorite local merchants as well as those from the surrounding areas. A full list of planned vendors is not available at present, but find your way to the school this weekend and see what surprises might be in store for you as you look for that perfect gift!
Soda Sip Cereal Drop
Soda Sip reminds residents that the 6th ANNUAL PROJECT CEREAL DROP is currently underway. According to organizers: “This is a PROJECT that has been put together to donate 1 box of cereal to each elementary school student in CARIBOU COUNTY. The kids will get to take it home during CHRISTMAS BREAK to make sure each child does not go hungry over the holidays! We want to invite you to help us! Please drop off any unopened, not expired BOXES of CEREAL(12oz or more please) to SODA SIP. We will also be collecting wrapping paper and tape this year to wrap each box of cereal. And if you find any good deals on cereal please let us know so we can let others know as well!
If you are unable to drop off cereal but still want to participate please Venmo @Mersade-Wells
