SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2014, the Idaho Legislature established an official Idaho Day to be observed March 4th each year with a proclamation from the governor and programs at the State Capitol, as well as
events and activities in communities statewide. Idaho Day, March 4, was established to commemorate the creation of the Idaho Territory by President Abraham Lincoln on that day in 1863.
2019 Idaho Day is celebrating Idaho towns. What’s unique and distinct about your town? What makes your town that extraordinary place to grow up, live, work, play, go to school, and
raise a family?
Idaho Day inspires many Idahoans across the Gem State to celebrate Idaho and its history, along with all that is special about their own community or part of the state. Idaho Day is
an opportunity to showcase the Gem State’s treasured past, thriving present, and unlimited future. Spearheaded by the Idaho Historical Society, Idaho Day is enjoyed throughout the state
by schools and universities, state agencies, and other organizations.
The McCall City Library is hosting an Idaho History day on March 6th, and the Barbara Morgan Elementary School 4th graders and teachers will be coming for fun Idaho related activities.
In support of the Elementary School and the McCall Public Library staff is recommending that March 6th be recognized as Idaho Day in McCall. The proclamation is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim March 6, 2019 as the celebration of Idaho Day in the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
