IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Saturday, October 25, was the last day of the Idaho Falls Farmers Market this year. Vendors and customers came together to make the most of the market’s final day.

People sold things from food, to ceramics, to jewelry. Some of the vendors have been part of the market for years, while this was the first year for some of them.

“I’m a retired teacher. I wanted to do something after five years of being retired. So this is that. And I love flowering, gardening,” said Debbie Eytcheson, Owner of Lady Hollyhock LLC.

Several vendors say their favorite part about being in the farmers market is getting to know the other vendors. They love seeing how creative everyone gets with their products, like making cast iron flowers, personalized cutting boards, and special leather-bound book covers.

“With our books, I like to take favorites and classics and hand tool. Many of them I like to accent with scrap buffalo leather. I love using scrap and re-purposing,” said Millissa Garnette, Owner of Garnette Leather Company.

Even though the farmers market is over for 2025, there will be more chances for people to see their favorite vendors again soon. The indoor winter market will be at the Snake River Convention Center starting Saturday, November 1.

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — The Bengals came out in full force along with community members from both Pocatello and Idaho Falls to enjoy the annual homecoming parade.

People from Idaho Falls and beyond traveled for today’s festivities and look forward to it every year. People lined the streets of Pocatello from Center Street all the way to the parade’s finish at Reed Gym on the ISU campus. They came to watch the multitude of floats, fancy cars and dance groups. Some kids even wore their halloween costumes to catch the flying candy. 

ISU student ambassador Karsen Jex said “I think to be in it as a student and as a student ambassador, it’s just really cool to see the community come out, rally, have a good time, support our university, and then ultimately cheer on our football team.”

Nampa natives Stacie and Ryan Robertson said this was their first year at the homecoming parade and they were thrilled with the performances by dance and cheer teams from the area.

The parade marks the end of ISU’s homecoming week events, ahead of the football team’s homecoming game versus Northern Arizona University on Saturday, October 25th. Other events this week included a lip-sync battle and the iconic Homecoming Bonfire.

The community also rallies around their university during the pre-game tailgate outside the ICCU Dome. After a week of fun and festivities in Pocatello, the parade sticks out as one of the most exciting events.
