Caldwell On The Move

Indian Creek Celebrates Completion 
The City of Caldwell celebrated the completion of the rerouting of Indian Creek through the downtown on April 26, 2008.  A Ribbon Cutting and first Annual Fishing Derby commemorated the event. 

The day began at 9:00 am with volunteers sweeping through downtown Caldwell and Indian Creek for the annual Indian Creek Cleanup.

 

The Heap Herders classic cars were at Memorial Park.

Celebration festivities began around 12:30 with the Centennial Band providing the introduction music at the 7th Street Bridge. At 1:00 PM were the introduction of those participating agencies, so much a part of the Indian Creek day lighting and the official Ribbon Cutting. Immediately following were selections from the College of Idaho Chorale.

Food and drinks was available at Noon at both Memorial Park and the Celebration at the 7th and Blaine bridge over Indian Creek.

Music after the Chorale was provided by the Church Band with Salsa and Bolero music.

The Anglers Habitat Derby for Kids on Indian Creek began at 2:00 pm. Kids 13 and younger registered for the Derby where participation prizes were given as well as prizes for the largest and most fish caught and for the youngest fisher to catch.

A fun day for all ages.
