‘GIVING BACK IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO’

Local pharmacist is Kuna Days 2017 grand marshal

editor@kunamelba.com

This year’s Kuna Days grand marshal is from a small town in Wyoming, a mountain lover, a huckleberry picker and, as a

Idaho State University pharmacy students with training at the local store.

“Both of us coming from a small town, it seems like the right thing to do,” Walthall said. “So we try to support the community as much as possible.”

Walthall and his wife moved to Kuna 17 years ago from Connecticut, when she got a forensics job. Walthall said Kuna feels like home because it is a small town close to the mountains.

In 2003, Vic Allen hired Walthall to be Custom RX’s pharmacy manager.

Travis Walthall, who owns Custom RX with his wife Tina, enjoys helping customers fill prescriptions during the week.

Nine years later, in 2012, Walthall bought the pharmacy, and still runs it. Last year, it was recognized at the chamber’s Business of the Year.

The pharmacy will have a float in the Saturday, Aug. 5 parade. Walthall and his family will be waving and tossing candy.

A niece is working on costumes, which will fit

in with the Kandy Land theme. Walthall hinted she was designing villain costumes, but of who will be a surprise at the parade.

Walthall said he wants to thank the community for its support of Custom RX pharmacy, and that he and his wife appreciate everyone.

About being grand marshal, Walthall said he is honored.

“It seems just overwhelming,” Walthall said.

“It seems like the grand marshals have always been somebody that have been super active community people who you see around town all the time doing great things so I’m just extremely honored that someone would throw my name out there.”

KUNA DAYS FIREWORKS LEGACY CONTINUES

Fireworks America Idaho hopes to continue Lloyd Stubbs’ fireworks show legacy

By Alx George editor@kunamelba.com

Years ago, Kuna and Melba cities entered into a “gentlemen’s agreement” regarding firework shows: Kuna would support Melba’s Fourth of July show and Melba would

little different with Lloyd Stubbs passing.

“Lloyd’s always been a big supporter of the Kuna and Melba communities,” Wright said. “We’re going to have to try to shoulder that without him.”

To put on the show, Fireworks America Idaho collaborates with pyrotechnicians — who shoot off the fireworks — the Kuna fire department, city officials, the Kuna Days committee and other volunteers to put on the annual show.

The fireworks have to be choreographed. The

launching area has to be set up, so Fireworks America Idaho team members and others dedicate an entire day to the show.

Stubbs played a central part in that coordination for Kuna Days and other shows as well, Wright said, but it is also a group effort to maintain those contacts and put on the shows.

This year’s show will be dedicated to Stubbs.

“It’s building those contacts he’s had for so many years without him,” Wright said. “(We’re) making sure we do this

Kuna Days 2015 fireworks. justice … his passion for it … and keep this going.”

While Kuna Days is known for its fireworks show, Wright said other elements, like the parade, couldn’t happen without the community’s support.

Fifteen to 20 people will

help put on the fireworks show.

“Fireworks America Idaho will do its best to make sure no one sees much in change,” Wright said. “And to continue Lloyd’s legacy into the future.”

support Kuna’s Kuna Days show.

That tradition continues today.

“It’s a collaboration,” said Jeff Wright, with Fireworks America Idaho.

“Small communities supporting each other is important.”

It’s that support, Wright said, which has fostered community events like Kuna Days and ensures they continue.

This year, while the Kuna Days fireworks show

by Fireworks America Idaho will not change much, the atmosphere is a
