WHEREAS, Last year the Idaho Legislature established an official “IDAHO DAY” to be observed
each year on March 4th as a special day to educate our citizens about Idaho; and
WHEREAS, this education effort should show Idaho’s culture, her history, her resources, her
beauty, and her greatness; and
WHEREAS, on August 12, 1805, members of the Lewis and Clark expedition were the first white
men to enter what is now Idaho and place the first American flag into Idaho soil; and

1863; and
WHEREAS, Idaho entered the Union as the 43rd state on July 3, 1890; and

Now, therefore, I, Richard S. Woodland, Mayor of the City of Rexburg, do hereby proclaim
March 4th, 2015 as “IDAHO DAY” in the City of Rexburg, and do hereby urge all citizens to spread
the word about Idaho’s history, culture, resources and Idaho’s greatness.
