A $10,000 grant was awarded Thursday at an event in Twin Falls—complete with confetti—to support the Children's Museum of the Magic Valley's plan to build a new facility.
The nonprofit has raised about $1.5 million so far and will break ground next year on its planned 14,000-square-foot museum that offers hands-on science, technology, engineering, art and math activities for children up to 11.
On Saturday, horse owners gathered at the Buhl rodeo grounds to race through a gymkhana course that began at 10 a.m. and ended at 2 p.m.—the event brought together riders of all ages and skill levels for an affordable day of fun.

A defendant pleaded guilty after deputies found 15 pounds of cocaine in a Twin Falls traffic stop—bulges in the car seats caught their attention.
The Buhl Skate Park was vandalized between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Friday when unknown vandals graffitied racist slurs and hate symbols—Buhl Police are investigating the incident.
