Good morning, Pocatello.

Local investor Denis Clijsters received a beautification award—presented by the Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce—for his work improving his Station Square building in Historic Downtown Pocatello.

He said his eight years of efforts, including a new awning and apartment renovations, mark a significant milestone in his ongoing community enhancements.

The Idaho Community Foundation will celebrate a milestone in Pocatello by hosting an event on Friday, August 15th from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the lookout point in historic downtown Pocatello—attendees will learn about a $10,000 grant to support community suicide prevention and enjoy refreshments.

The Idaho Foodbank has kickstarted its back-to-school campaign to raise awareness and funds for its children's programs—its Backpack Program provides nutritious meals for students lacking weekend food access while its School Pantry Program offers convenient pantry set-ups at schools.

The Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce held its annual mini-golf tournament to support young professionals and raise funds for job and internship programs.

Crystal Panek said the event was created to build business connections—helping local talent stay in the community.

Pocatello's Deleta Skating and Family Fun Center is preparing for Halloween with a new horror experience in its escape rooms.

The Escape the Madhouse Horror Experience may open October 10 while summer promotions give away tickets — last year over 700 visitors enjoyed the attraction.

The City of Chubbuck said residents should document any damage from Thursday's water main break for insurance purposes as the water boil order stays in place.

City crews fixed the leak and are now repairing the waterline break+ they will keep checking water pressure and taking samples until it is safe for regular use.
