🎒🚌 Back to School Means Slow Down & Stay Alert! 🚗

School is back in session, which means more buses, young drivers, kids walking and biking, and busy school zones.

A few extra seconds of patience can make a big difference:

🚸 Slow down in school zones
🚌 Watch for school buses and children crossing
📵 Put the phone down and stay focused
🚲 Give kids on bikes plenty of room
🚗 Leave a little extra time during your morning commute

Let’s all do our part to keep our roads—and our kids—safe this school year.

Drive safe and have a great school year! 🍎📚

County fair season is one of our favorite times of the year because it celebrates the values that make our communities strong: hard work, responsibility, dedication, and a deep appreciation for agriculture.

Best of luck to everyone participating this fair season! We hope you have a safe, fun, and successful fair. 🎡🐄🌽

🚨 Wildfire Smoke Reminder 🚨

With the wildfire smoke affecting our air quality, don't forget to check and replace your home's HVAC air filter. A clean filter helps:

🏠 Improve your indoor air quality
🌬️ Reduce smoke, dust, and other particles inside your home
⚙️ Keep your HVAC system running efficiently
💰 Prevent unnecessary wear and tear on your equipment

If your filter already looks gray or dirty, it's probably time for a new one. During periods of heavy smoke, you may need to change it more often than the usual 1–3 month schedule.

Stay safe, keep your windows closed when air quality is poor, and breathe a little easier indoors. 💙

The 100 Deadliest Days of Summer are here.
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, teen driver crashes and fatalities increase dramatically across the country. More time on the road, distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving all play a part.

A few reminders for everyone this summer: • Put the phone down
• Slow down and wear your seatbelt
• Never drive impaired
• Talk to your teen drivers about safe driving habits
• Give yourself extra time and stay alert
A simple decision behind the wheel can save a life.

Stay safe out there this summer.

The people we serve are the same people we see at the store, on the sidelines, and are out enjoying everything Idaho has to offer. It’s a different kind of relationship when it’s local.

If it’s been awhile since you’ve reviewed your coverage, I’m always here to help.

Give my office a call at 208-505-6363 and we’ll see what we can do.
