KETCHUM, IDAHO – The City of Ketchum is inviting residents to celebrate past achievements, share what the city is doing, and have a voice in creating its future.
The city is hosting “A Fair on the Square” on Friday, May 25, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Ketchum Town Square. Food, refreshments, music and activities for kids will be part of the fun.
