The Frosty Badger

10/13/2026

A reminder that this Thursday evening we’ll be gathering at The Frosty Badger for a special Ontario Chamber of Commerce After Hours, presented in conjunction with Treasure Valley Community College.

We’ll begin at 5:30 PM with beverages, snacks and time to visit, followed by the official unveiling of John Hart’s new Treasure Valley mural at 6:30 PM.

TVCC President Dana Young will introduce John, and we’ll hear from a few other speakers about the mural, the College, and some of the good things happening in Ontario’s NW Quarter.

If you haven’t been to The Frosty Badger yet, this would be a great evening to stop in, tour the space and see what we’ve been up to — while also connecting with TVCC faculty and staff, local business folks and other members of the community.

Thursday, October 15th
Doors / After Hours: **5:30 PM
Mural unveiling: 6:30 PM
The Frosty Badger — in Ontario’s NW Quarter

The public is invited. Come see us!

The Frosty Badger ’26–’27 Concert Series is officially underway!

We’ve got eight shows lined up between October and June, and I’m really excited about where this season is headed.

Even better, this year’s Concert Series is being supported by a group of local sponsors who stepped up to help us underwrite artist guarantees and keep bringing really good live music to Ontario.

A huge thank you to:

Dinsmore Chiropractic - Three Rivers Insurance - Waldo Agencies - Mary Jean Winters - Erica Thompson — Norwex Independent Consultant - Stan’s Heating & Cooling - Western Treasure Valley Rotary
…and one generous sponsor who prefers to remain anonymous.

That last one seems like a pretty good place to start the season.

Our opening concert is on Saturday, October 24th and is being sponsored anonymously — simply in support of art, culture and the enjoyment of live music in our community. I really like that idea.

And it’s going to be a great kickoff:

BRAD PARSONS w/ ALYSSA JOY CLAFFEY
with special guest - McKenna Esteb

Brad has been here before as part of a songwriters round, and I’m really looking forward to having him back as the featured artist and having Alyssa join on fiddle will make for a great night. McKenna will open the evening with a solo set - she is a rising star and we can wait to welcome her to The Frosty Badger!

Where: The Frosty Badger — 505 NW 1st St., Ontario
When: Doors at 5:30 PM
Music at 6:30 PM**
What: Music, Food & Beverage and Friends!
Who: All Ages

Small room. Good music. Good people.

That’s pretty much the idea.

And thank you again to every one of our Concert Series Sponsors. Your support helps make nights like this possible.

Meet Dolly the new venue cat! She showed up here looking for a home in the most spectacular way about the same time that Dolly Parton left us - so she had to be a Dolly. As a female orange kitty, she’s already kind of a unicorn - it all only adds to the mystique. Welcome sweetie - happy to have you here!
