Upcoming Events

    ENVISION VICTOR FINAL CELEBRATION!
    Victor TBIR Ice Rink
    February 26, Noon - 3pm

    It has been an incredible two years, and now it's time to celebrate this amazing community and all we have accomplished together. Envision Victor worked hard to hear from the community, to listen to your stories, and we have learned that Family Friendliness, Small Town Feel, Cultural History, Sustainability, and our Connection to Nature are what make Victor so unique. In Victor, we believe that these Heart & Soul values should help guide our future planning, and together, we have taken some real steps to make this happen. Together, we came up with some great design ideas for our Main Street, and we put together a vision for how and where our community should grow in the future.

    WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE!

    As a thank you to everyone who has been involved, Envision Victor is excited to invite you to come to our local ice rink for some free skating and good hot food. This event is open to everyone in the community, and it will be a chance for neighbors to come together, even those who have never met before, to visit with each other and maybe even make some new friends.

    Come on down and celebrate with us. We can't wait to see you.

    Email Dahvi for more information, or call (208)201-3931.

Storytelling

  • Values Stories Circles!

    • Over the last year, we've collected your stories and your values. Now we're ready to start honing in on exactly what these values mean in Victor. In the next few months, we'll be asking you to help us define these values through a few more story circles. Stay tuned for more about these events in March!

  • Story kiosk

    • Envision Victor has set up a story kiosk in front of Pierre's Playhouse on Main Street. The kiosk will offer opportunities for people to add their stories and thoughts on the future of Victor. It will also host information on upcoming events and activities. Check back often for new prompts and story prompts! Thanks to Teton Valley Trails and Pathways for donating the kiosk and to Jillian Thompson with her help getting it fixed up!

  • Story Interviews

    • Envision Victor has been proud to train a group of Teton Valley residents in the art of conducting story interviews. Story interviews are a great way to meet other local residents, to learn more about the history of this place, and get a clear sense of what Victor residents value most about living in this amazing place. If you're interested in getting interviewed, or becoming an interviewer, please let us know!

  • Story Circles

    • Story circles are another great way to meet your neighbors, discover common ground, and connect around the things that we love about this place. Story circle events are fun, and easy to host.

Action Project Updates!

  • Gateway Project

    • We hear all the time that we’ve got to do something to slow down traffic on Main Street, and we’re working on doing just that. This action project team is working on designing a visual gateway at the entrances to downtown. We will be working with the Idaho Transportation Department, as well as the public and the City to create an entrance that fits our community and helps people realize when they are entering our town. Stay tuned for ways to get involved and help us design something that truly represents Victor well. Thanks to Charlie Otto and Matt Eagens for their leadership of this team!

  • Pierre's Playhouse

    • Pierre's Playhouse is opening again thanks, in part, to the energy created by Envision Victor. The Egbert family hopes Pierre's will become a cultural community center - a family-friendly place where art can be displayed, movies can be screened, plays can be performed, and community events can be held. More work is being done on Pierre's every day, and the Egbert family wants to know what YOU want to see in Pierre's in the future! Click here to see daily updates on construction progress, previews of what's to come, and let the Egbert family know what you want to see in Victor's own local theater!

  • Postcard Competition

    • Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry into the Envision Victor postcard contest! We have selected two winners - Hannah Linville and Susan Lykes. (Congratulations to our winners!) But, the truth is, all of the entries were so good, we want to make sure they all get seen. So we will be making postcards out of all of them. To see them, click here, or stop by the Emporium in a few weeks to to buy a few! Special thanks to Kim Keeley for heading up this team!

  • Local farmers directory

    • Victor is an agricultural community with a long history. In today’s economy farmers have to be creative to make ends meet. Luckily there may be exciting ways to fuel our local economy by feeding our local residents. This team is working on developing a local farmer’s directory to start putting farmers in touch with eaters in our Valley, and to help begin a dialogue between the farmers who have been here for generations and those who have just arrived. Thanks to Jen Werlin and Grace Barca for their leadership of this team!

  • Reaching out

    • Envision Victor is committed to involving a variety of Victor residents in the process of planning our city. Everyone's voice is important. Our goal is to help figure out what the people who live here love about this place so that we can make sure that Victor remains a town to come home to.
