Get clued in on Ketchum events
As part of Ketchum's new rules surrounding its so-called "Festival Area," members of the public are invited to sign up on the city's Web site to receive e-mail notification of upcoming events.
The designated areas include the Community Core and Picabo Street in Warm Springs. The code implemented new fees for different-sized events, requiring $50 for events with fewer than 300 people and not requiring a street closure. Permits for events that require a street closure for one day or have more than 300 people attending are $100 and $300 for events that require a street closure for more than one day or weekly events that take place more than four consecutive weeks.
