LIVE from Treefort, yet again! In this episode we were happy to host Boise mayor Lauren McLean and her husband Scott. After sitting next to them at a Lumineers concert and seeing them have such a great time together, we knew we wanted to get to know them more as a couple. During the discussion we focus on the two of them as a couple married for over 20 years with kids, jobs, hopes and dreams, and try to see them outside their typical labels. How do they Treefort? How do they stay connected? What's Scott's perception of Lauren's role as a public figure? How did Lauren jack her leg? All these things and more will be revealed in an open conversation with this great power couple.

Treefort 11 - Big Changes

Treefort Music Fest is one of the largest events that Boise boasts, and it is nationally recognized as being pretty badass. In this, the 11th year, there will be some MAJOR changes. Aside from the over 500 BANDS performing, there’s a new main stage area, completely new venues, new “fort options”, and new drinking rules (hint: Ale Fort just got a lot cooler). Marissa Lovell of Treefort (and the popular newsletter “From Boise”) drops her picks for things you shouldn’t miss. Also, all the details for exploring Treefort with kids (12 and under are FREE!) and how to “FREE Fort”. If you are planning to Treefort this year, this is a must-listen. And if you aren’t, this is a must-listen so you change your mind.

Note, The Boise Bubble will be podcasting LIVE at Treefort March 25th at noon in the Boise Centre East.

It might as well be a verb, because Treefort has grown from a dope music festival to a killer city-wide showcase of what makes Idaho and Boise amazing: music, food, drink, art, stories, kids events, and even yoga! It's such a local staple that the city of Boise honored it with the title of "Cultural Ambassador" in 2015. As amazing an event as it is, it's also a little intimidating trying to figure out how to experience it. In this episode, we meet with co-founder and marketing director Megan Stoll and publicist Marissa Lovell to educate and demystify. If you're going to live in the Treasure Valley, you should check out Treefort; and if you're going to Treefort, you'll benefit from this episode.
