The southeastern Idaho city of Shelley will serve as the host of Idaho's next 'Capital for a Day' event on Wednesday.
Capital for a Day events feature Gov. Brad Little and many of the state's agency directors traveling to smaller communities throughout Idaho. During the events, the governor and agency heads discuss state issues and programs and conduct an open forum for local residents to ask questions or make suggestions.
'Capital for a Day is a great opportunity for myself and my administration to hear from Idahoans about the needs of their community,' Little said in a written statement. 'I look forward to sharing this tradition with the good people of Bingham County and learn how we can better serve them.'
Little's predecessor, former Gov. Butch Otter, also conducted regular Capital for a Day events around the state during his three terms in office.
