Queysmaze is honoring Mountain Home Air Force Base and the Idaho Air National Guard with a specially designed holiday corn maze. The maze includes an F16, the shields of the United States Air Force and Air National Guard plus the phrase "Defending Freedom". The maze is located in MHAFB's flight path and properly oriented to be easily read by air crew. It's worth the trip just to walk the maze but be sure to visit the Queysmaze website to learn about the other activities available.

Mountain Home's 47th annual Air Force Appreciation Day may go into the books as the biggest of all. Festivities included a 2 hour parade, an A10 flyby provided by the Idaho Air National Guard and a free barbecue which fed over 5,000. Downtown streets were lined by an estimated 10,000 spectators, most of whom then filled Carl Miller Park to visit the dozens of booths sponsored by local and MHAFB organizations.

Mountain Home's 41st Annual "Crazee Daze" celebration will be on Saturday, May 19th.

Local merchants will have booths set up all over the downtown area "displaying their wares" but mostly giving stuff away. Look for the Century 21 "fish pond" where the kids can angle for prizes and all proceeds go to Easter Seals. This year's special activities include a bubblegum blowing contest, pet costume smackdown, folk dancers, and several musical groups. The MHAFB honor guard and Idaho National Guard will also be making an appearance. Jan DeGiorgio Mountain Home, … (2 comments)
