Preservation Idaho’s Orchids and Onions Awards, given since 1977, celebrate the people and projects using preservation to make Idaho a better place to live, work and play, from building restorations that follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to cultural heritage programs and dedicated volunteers. This year’s honorees include the Hardy family, two generations of stewards of Boise’s Egyptian Theatre. Emcee Dan Everhart presents the awards, followed by brunch and an optional self-guided tour.
