Idaho Media Campaign
Thanks to Idaho Television Station and Cable Systems
throughout the State, the Buy Idaho message is being broadcast; to help
build the Idaho economy. KNIN television’s Jim Stoner produced the brand new
“What Comes Around, Goes Around”;
and update production of two former public service announcements, “Texas
Thanks You”, and “Wisconsin Thanks
You” were added to the rotation by the production department at
Cable One Advertising.
These public service announcements by the TV Stations and
Cable Systems are now being viewed throughout the State.
Thanks for your support of Buy Idaho.
(Members Note: If you are not using the Buy Idaho logo in
your advertising, website, vehicles, door fronts, etc., you're not getting
the thousands of dollars worth of promotional value, by letting folks know
you're part of this movement, to sell more Idaho products and services. If
you're out of logos, call, we'll ship, e mail, whatever to get your business
identified as BUY IDAHO!)

The 2nd annual Idaho Green Expo is coming back to The Boise Centre
on The Grove the weekend of July 18th and 19th.
The 2nd annual Idaho Green Expo is coming back to The
Boise Centre on The Grove the weekend of July 18th and 19th. The Expo will
be a free, two day event that will showcase the latest environmentally
friendly products and services, and continue to provide information that
will help people to lead healthier and more sustainable lives. And despite
the current economic difficulties, GreenWorks believes that this crisis will
not be the end of Green, but rather, Green will help end this economic
crisis!
As a demonstration of how Green can be affordable, the
2009 Expo will feature SUSTAINABLE “U” – a large exhibit hall full of
demonstrations on how you can easily green your home, your garden and even
your office.
This year also brings a new partnership- The Twilight
Criterium will be on Saturday, July 18th, the first day of The Idaho Green
Expo. Together we will engage both audiences in a downtown celebration that
will bring huge numbers to The Boise Centre on the Grove. A new addition to
help accommodate this crowd will be the Local Beer, Wine, Food and Music
Festival presented by Bittercreek Ale House and The Boise Co-op. 26 Local
Breweries, 3 Wineries, 4 fabulous local food vendors and a two day line up
of local music presented by Go Listen Boise will add to the excitement of
The Idaho Green Expo.
The 2009 Expo’s goal will remain the same as in our first
year: To have a celebration, but one with a serious purpose: to continually
foster the emergence of a new green economy - an economy that is
sustainable, healthy, ethical and earth friendly.

Build the Idaho Economy: BUY IDAHO
If the 1.5 million people in Idaho, all
spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an
out of state company:
- That would be $150,000,000 more spent into the Idaho
economy this year.
- Imagine the effect of another $150,000,000 in new jobs, capitol
improvement, re-investment in Idaho families and new equipment to
build Idaho business, industry, education and agriculture.
- Sales tax at 6% would be $9,000,000 increased funding for
education, health & welfare, parks, transportation, law
enforcement, and the many services that make Idaho a better place
to live and raise families.
- Plus the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $150,000,000 in
additional sales; the wages they pay people, the workers
compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the
employees will pay into the Idaho economy. With additional income,
families will enjoy a higher standard of living.

Buy Idaho Capitol Show in 2010-YES
In 1986 Buy Idaho was organized with support of a group of select
Idaho business leaders; it has grown and flourished; and is today a
strong & viable network of
Idaho Agriculture, Education, Business and Industry. The annual Buy
Idaho Capitol Show has been a highlight of the year; except the past 2
years, while closed for renovation.
Governor Otter has asked Teresa Luna, Chief of Staff of the Department
of Administration to work with Buy Idaho for the 2010 Capitol Show.
Teresa and Barbara have met, planned, and the Capitol Show will be
held early

People’s House”, to see the results of our Idaho State Capitol

members.
