We Need YOUR VOTE!

Posted on November 1, 2020 by LeAnn Brown

Update: THANK YOU to all who voted YES!

Our new fire station is underway!

Back in 2018, the community spoke and ever since the MAC | McCammon Action Council volunteers have been working hard to bring our fellow residents’ ideas and requests to life.

Topping the list, residents wanted a new community center and fire station.

After months of hard work researching and brain storming, a plan was put in place which would make everything feasible, allowing McCammon to receive substantial grant money and other assistance needed to pull off these important projects in a way that ties everything together. (see below)

Now it is up to the residents to vote YES and we can get the ball rolling!

Following are posters breaking down the details. If you have questions or need more information before casting your vote, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Farmers Market at Little Rock

Posted on August 11, 2020 by LeAnn Brown

Kathy Spiegel, owner of Marsh Valley Farm…now at the Little Rock Cafe Monday through Saturday!

Plants, flowers, produce, eggs, raw honey, hand-made jewelry and other goodies are available along with outdoor dining or take-away.

We at MAC | McCammon Action Council so appreciate Kathy for bringing the Farmers Market to McCammon. This was a big goal of the MAC early development meetings…many residents expressed they would like to have a farmers market, but no one had been able to make it happen until Kathy agreed to lead the way.

The outdoor farmers market is held every Friday from 9-noon at the Pavilion Park on 6th and Center and while we continue to grow and expand the outdoor market, we are loving that we now have access to many of these items daily at her shop at Little Rock.

Thank you Kathy for all you do to make our community great!

*The day I stopped by for this photo shoot, the Tour of Idaho participants pictured above were enjoying lunch outside under the umbrella shaded tables and remarked about the warm hospitality Kathy provided them.

The motorcycle group is touring all the way from Malad to the top of Idaho and single riders as well as groups up to three will be stopping by the entire month of August for refueling and a brief respite before hitting the intense off-road trails again.

Let’s GROW our new Farmers Market Together!

Posted on February 8, 2020 by LeAnn Brown

Here’s a fun idea: Host gatherings with fellow artisans during the winter months in preparation for the 2020 market! —MAC

The McCammon Farmers Market is currently scheduled for every Friday (May-October) from 9 am-12 noon at the Center & 6th Street Park. The McCammon Action Council is behind this event and with our wonderful lead, Kathy Spiegel, we were able to get the market up and running in 2019.

Many in the community reached out to us to say they would like to shop the market, but are working and not able to on Fridays. We want you to know “We hear you!” and are currently working to see if we can move it to Saturday or expand it to Friday and Saturday this year.

We’re also looking to expand and grow the market to include arts, crafts and much more. If we receive the participation we’d like to see, we’ll have booths set-up all around the pavilion park. Our vision is to have an abundance of locally grown produce…but also an array of local artisans and vendors sharing their talents and wares.

If this has piqued your interest and you’d like to be involved —in any capacity—please contact us now to get started. Spring will be here before we know it!—LeAnn, MAC-McCammon Action Council

Let’s GROW our new Farmers Market together!

Be it homemade bread and preserves, artwork, woodwork, pottery, macrame, quilts, soaps, jewelry, honey, flowers, plants, clothing, antiques…

…Whatever your specialty or skill set, we’d love to see you involved!

Contact us now for help and ideas in planning your own booth or perhaps collaborating with a group!

Movie Night in the Park

Posted on November 10, 2019 by LeAnn Brown

Our First Movie Night in the Park was held July 26th, 2019. Over 300 people brought their blankets, pillows and lawn chairs and settled in for a night of cinematic entertainment under the stars.

We think it’s pretty clear…An “INCREDIBLE” time was had by all. ????

Our leads on this were Sherri Bordeaux and Aaron Hunsaker—a big shout-out to them: Thank you for making this our new summer tradition. —Four movie nights are planned for 2020!

This event was produced by MAC (McCammon Action Council.) We so appreciate all our sponsors and every person who contributed to its success. Thank you: City of McCammon, Dale Kinloch, Pierson Livestock, Mark Detton, Ireland Bank and Idaho Central Credit Union.

MAC’s second Movie Night in the Park, August 16th, 2019:

Our sponsors: City of McCammon, Ireland Bank, Idaho Central Credit Union, Pierson Livestock, Dale Kinloch, Mark Detton. Thank you to one and all for your support!

We’ll see you next summer!

Rain in the Park

Posted on October 9, 2019 by LeAnn Brown

The 2019 Rain in the Park event hosted by the McCammon Volunteer Firefighters was a blast again this year.

Rich Pierson, McCammon’s Fire Chief and the volunteer fire crew were leading the fun on Saturday, August 17th.

We are so grateful to them for their commitment and service to our community and would like to thank them once again for putting on such a great event every summer.
