🌱 Local Staycation + Art In The Park + Boise Can't Legally Talk

Good morning, neighbors! I'm back with your new edition of the Boise Daily. Here's all the local news you need to know right now...

We asked our Boise Daily readers for a concert they are eagerly awaiting an announcement. Ang provided an enthusiastic "Billie Eilish!" The exclamation point is hers.

Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Boise Daily. Art in the Park is here over the weekend and ready for customers. Micron can tell city officials anything, but your leaders are legally unable to tell you anything. We help you out with some online technical terms and your Netflix viewing may alter your jury worthiness. Finally, we have a local place for your next vacation.

📣 Our readers love to celebrate good news! You can now shout out your big announcement at the top of the Boise Daily newsletter. Whether it's a grand opening, new product for sale, birthday, anniversary, engagement, wedding or new baby, let everyone celebrate alongside you! Submit your announcement here.

First, today's weather:

Very warm with plenty of sun. High: 89 Low: 58.

Here are the top stories today in Boise:

1. As it is September and fall is here, the event to attend in Boise is Art in the Park. CBS2 news staff introduce the 68th gathering of over 250 artists offering varied fare, from glass and metalwork to pottery and textiles, jewelry and toys. You can start shopping beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday and continue until 8 p.m. (Idaho News)
2. Boise tech giant Micron announced last week the big news of expansion in our local city. The news did not come as a surprise to city officials as Micron and the City of Boise have operated under a non-disclosure agreement since 2004 according to BoiseDev editor Don Day. The agreement, signed by former Mayor Dave Bieter, has no expiration date. Under the agreement, city staff can take information from Micron, but disclose none of it publicly. (boisedev.com)
3. The technology world is abundant with terms and phrases some of us may not know. Boise Patch and the City of Boise help you out, explaining the terminology of "phishing," "spear phishing," "vishing," "smishing," "catfishing," and "money mule." (Boise Patch)
4. If you are a Netflix fan, could an upcoming three-part documentary series impact your possible juror's decisions in an upcoming local trial? KTVB-TV's Shirah Matsuzawa examines "Sins of Our Mother," the docu-series highlighting Lori Vallow, who is charged with killing her two Rexburg kids, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan and whose trial is scheduled to begin in Boise in January 2023. (KTVB)
5. In 2018, Americans chose to sit at their desk and not take a vacation adding up to 768 million vacation days. LITE-FM's Michelle Heart urges Boise residents to take one or two of those 768 million days and stay right here in Boise. One Airbnb near the Greenbelt is waiting for a staycation, offering a heated saltwater pool, oversized fire pit, outdoor kitchen and an outdoor bar. (107.9 LITE FM)
