Giant LDS Church holding open house
REXBURG - A model of the largest LDS church in existence is about to have an open house in Rexburg. The double chapel is 38-thousand square feet.

Soon it will house 8 BYU-Idaho wards. Currently those wards are all over the city.

BYU-I 8TH Stake President Terry Call said, "The unity that can now be felt in the hallways. The friendship that can now be generated. Over the last year and a half that our stake has been in existence, we've had all of our units meeting all over town in different church buildings here in Rexburg."

If you would to tour the church, an open house is being held Friday between 6 and 8pm and Saturday between 1 and 5pm.

Everybody is welcome, you do not have to be a member of the LDS faith.

Wind Farms

The wind turbines lining the foothills east of Idaho Falls are getting a lot of attention. What do you think about the wind farms?

  • They're too close to residential areas and they're lowering property values. They're ruining the view. Build them somewhere else!
  • They provide clean energy, and they generate local jobs and tax revenue. They're the wave of the future. Welcome to town!
  • Not sure.
