TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) —The College of Southern Idaho hosted a community open house Saturday, on their Twin Falls campus.

Their goal was to invite the community out to find out at least one thing they didn’t know the college had to offer the community.

April is Community College Month across the nation, so they took this final weekend of the month to celebrate with the community all of the opportunities Southern Idaho’s Community College has for the residents of the Magic Valley and beyond.

The event ran from eleven to three and the breezy conditions did not keep residents from coming out for the event.

If you didn’t make it to the event Saturday, they encourage you to stop by the college at any of their locations to find out what’s going on at CSI that could be of interest to you.

Idaho Falls Power will be temporarily turning off the electricity for 570 homes and businesses following a fire on a power pole close to East 25th Street and Barbara Avenue.

Idaho Falls Public Information Officer Eric Grossarth said that one fire truck and one power truck have been dispatched to the location. Additionally, an on-call line crew is being brought in to make the repairs.

The initial incident call came in at 3:11 p.m.

Most major traffic lights in the area will continue operating, though some small intersections with lights may be affected. Drivers should respond to non-operating lights by stopping and proceeding as if it were a four-way stop, according to a city news release.

“We appreciate their patience while we get this fixed and will definitely work to get power restored as quickly and safely as possible,” Grossarth said.
