The KEY to All Your Real Estate Needs |
|
The fall season is my favorite time of year here in the Treasure Valley. Cooler days, the vibrant colors of the leaves, and the many fall-time activities that take place throughout the area.
Looking to spend some time on the farm? The traditional favorites are back; or, maybe try a newer one. And, there are plenty of Halloween activities. Check out all the Trunk or Treat events taking place between now and Halloween! Or, maybe a scary car wash for a good cause?
Each month I share a brief glance at what's been going on in the Boise area real estate market. This month, Boise Regional Realtors changed their chart - more information in an expanded report format.
Enjoy this fall season... Be Well,

Some Good Scares for Good Causes
|
|
Bluebird Express Carwash is back this year with their "Tunnel of Terror" The two night event takes place on Friday, October 27 and Saturday, October 28 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at their Fairview, Overland and Ontario locations.
For a “per carload” fee, the costumed characters at the haunted car wash will scare the dirt right off of your vehicle! Attendees stay inside their cars as they move through the haunt. That's the "good scares" part of the event.
The "good causes" part? Each car wash will donate their proceeds to a non-profit. The Fairview location will donate its proceeds to Bustin' Out of Boise, a local non-profit that helps fill the gap for women going through cancer treatments. The Overland location will donate to the Idaho Humane Society. Funds from the Ontario location will be donated to the Four Rivers Cultural Center and Museum.
Fairview Location: 7547 W. Fairview Ave., Boise 83704
Overland Location: 8506 W. Overland Rd., Boise 83709
Ontario Location: 1315 SE 1st Ave., Ontario OR 97914
