As a member of the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce, every new business gets to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony. Although Stone by Stone Enterprises is not so "new" anymore, we held a brief event at the Magic Valley Airport in Twin Falls to "re-introduce" Gary Stone's History of Idaho Aviation and Community Murals to the public to remind them of these very interesting and historical aspects of our area.
Membership Chairman Bobbi Pyle helped to coordinate the activity and was wearing her "split allegiances" shirt in honor of the cross town football rivalry between Twin Falls High and two year old Canyon Ridge High, and cheerleaders from both teams were there to support our efforts.
Dan Olmstead from Idaho Power gave a nice testimony of Gary's efforts on both murals as he pointed out that his company was well represented, as was his family farm. He stated that Gary took a lot of time interviewing him and his family members to assure that their family history was acurately portrayed.
In addition, Bobbi gave away a prize to the first person who could identify which of the planes in the Aviation history mural was from Dans family....which was easily concluded since the plane has the Olmstead family name written on it, albeit in small print.
We at Stone by Stone Enterprises wish to thank all of the Chamber ambassadors and friends who came out in support of our endeavors, and also welcome Kyle, the newest member of the Chamber team to Twin Falls.
