Idaho Public Television to broadcast 2023 BYU-Idaho Christmas concert
In celebration of the Christmas season, Brigham Young University-Idaho’s 2023 performance of “A BYU-Idaho Christmas” with special guest Adassa will be broadcast across the state on Idaho Public Television (IdahoPTV).
A 60-minute edited version of the concert will air on Tuesday, December 17, at 7:00 p.m. MST and again on Tuesday, December 24, at 8:00 p.m. MST.
“Each year BYU-Idaho puts on a phenomenal celebration of Christmas, and the 2023 performance with Adassa was no exception,” said Brett Crandall, university public affairs director. “We are delighted to share last year’s performance with Idahoans across the state and hope all who watch will feel the spirit of Christmas in their homes.”
The 2023 concert features special guest vocalist, Adassa, alongside hundreds of students in the College of Performing and Visual Arts.
Adassa gained a huge following after her performance as the voice of Dolores in Disney’s blockbuster hit Encanto. She is featured on the Billboard-chart-topping song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”
As a bilingual Afro-Latino voice actress, singer, and songwriter with a dynamic four-octave vocal range, Adassa’s work includes animation, arena performances, commercials representing such brands as Toyota and Procter & Gamble, and, most recently, solo performances with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra as part of their recent tour to Mexico City.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
