Here are the top three stories today in Idaho Falls:

1. A business owner in downtown Idaho Falls is collaborating with an artist, Ben Steele, to create an interactive mural featuring a charging buffalo with Old Faithful and the Tetons in the background. The purpose of the project is to enhance the surroundings downtown and provide a fun selfie spot for visitors. The mural, nearing completion, will also have a tractor seat in front of it, allowing people to interact with the buffalo mural and control their poses for selfies. (East Idaho News)

Renowned speaker Glenn Beck will be at the Colonial Theater in Idaho Falls today, Jul. 25 at 7:00 p.m. This fundraising event is for the Tri-County Sheriff's Association, supporting its mission to enhance public safety, crime prevention, and essential community programs in the 17-county region.

3. Bonneville County Sheriff's deputies, along with law enforcement across Idaho and the Idaho Office of Highway Safety, are taking part in an Aggressive Driving Mobilization to increase road safety. The mobilization aims to educate motorists about the dangers of unsafe driving habits, particularly during the 100 deadliest days of summer when fatal and serious injury crashes are most prevalent. To promote safe driving, individuals are encouraged to prioritize attention to the road, avoid distractions, obey traffic control devices, plan ahead, and abstain from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
