Good morning, Pocatello.

Through December 24, the Animal Shelter offers half-off adoptions for cats and dogs over seven months old, thanks to Friends of the shelter; residents pay $17.50 for a cat or $65 for a dog and receive vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, a microchip, license and collar (worth about $300 total).

Christ’s Love Vineyard Church is hosting its annual Neighborhood Christmas Benefit Concert today from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at 409 North Garfield, featuring traditional hymns and local musicians while encouraging food donations to support local families.

Despite a dry December, Bannock County added the Wood/Hornet Connector near Inman to the grooming schedule to shorten shifts and give riders another trail.

The Snowgroomer Advisory Committee has two open spots for second Tuesday meetings (November through March), and riders are reminded to buy their Snowmobile Stickers for trail upkeep.
