Safe and Happy Travels, Rexburg!
Today, as the Teton Dam Marathon races through Rexburg and the Flood of Memories film shows at the Romance Theater, we as a community remember the tragedy that took place as an origin story for both of today's events. Next year marks 50 years since the dam broke in 1976, unleashing 80 billion gallons of water on the communities below. In preparation, the Rexburg Cultural Arts Department is compiling a series of events and activities to commemorate that community-defining disaster.
Introducing "Flood 50". Over the next 12 months, please join us in remembering stories, serving our communities, and reconnecting with our past.

🏛️✨ As we wrap up our weekly #TabernacleTuesday series (we may be back with more facts in the future as time goes on), we invite you to join the community and get involved in our Tabernacle Legacy Campaign (TLC). This project aims to renovate and restore our historic 1911 Tabernacle Civic Center. While some of you may know about this special place, we want everyone to realize how important it is for our community. The Tabernacle isn't just a building; it’s a place for friends and families can come together, celebrate our talents, and expand our horizons! To make this happen, we need your help. We invite you to our new See My Legacy TLC Campaign page to see how you can help ensure the future of this space. Here, we're sharing images of what this space has been envisioned for in the future, including a new formal event center, a refreshed auditorium, gorgeous garden spaces, and more. Along with this restoration, the City is working diligently to explore program expansion opportunities to involve more of the community in this central social gathering space. We invite you to share your ideas for the building here. What programming would entice you get involved in the community and the Tabernacle? Please think about supporting the campaign so that together, we can keep the Tabernacle a cherished place for everyone in Rexburg for many years to come! We understand financial strains are difficult. Simply sharing this post can also have a big impact on sharing the word about this monumental effort. 💖🏗️ View the campaign: https://app.seemylegacy.com/community/428/campaign/4481 #PreserveOurHeritage #SeeMyLegacy #RexburgCommunity #RexburgIdaho #CapitalCampaign #TabernacleTuesday #RexburgTabernacle
⚠️ Heads Up, Rexburg! We've identified a potential hazard with the new traffic light on Trejo and Yellowstone regarding the railroad crossing in the area. Crews will be working to program the light so that if the railroad light is flashing red, the traffic signal will not turn green. Programming on this light will delay the use of the light temporarily. Out of caution, our team will be bagging the light tomorrow until the programming has been installed. We expect it to take about a month.
💡❗ Please remember, while a traffic light is bagged, it is treated as though there is no light at that intersection. Safe Travels, Everyone!

🌟✨ **Tabernacle Tuesday!**
As we gather to celebrate the history and community spirit of Rexburg's beloved Tabernacle, we must also acknowledge the challenges it faces. This iconic 115 year old building, has withstood the test of time, but it requires all of our attention.
Nearly 50 years ago, the Teton Dam Flood left a mark on our community and significantly damaged this treasured structure. While the City was able to bring it back to code after purchasing it a few years later, the necessary full restoration was never completed due to budget constraints.
🛠️ Today, we find ourselves at a similar crossroads. The Tabernacle is in need of critical upgrades, including ADA accessibility improvements, extensive plumbing renovations, bathroom repairs, crucial structural enhancements, heating and cooling system upgrades, and more. 🛠️
Your awareness is vital in our efforts to restore this historic building as we work to preserve the Tabernacle and help ensure that it serves our community's social needs moving forward for many years to come.
