It's almost time for the paint brushes to start flying in Southern Idaho for the 23rd year of Paint Magic.

15 painting teams took part in a drawing today to select the houses they'll be working on next month.

The official 'paint day' will be Saturday, July 19th, but teams can begin painting on the ninth of July.

Former Paint Magic President Paul Johnson says, "We have enough funds to paint up to 20 homes. Right now we have several homes over in the Jerome area that if we could get some help over there, we could certainly get some elderly and handicapped homes painted."

This year's Paint Magic program will wrap up on July 26th. Johnson says if you'd like to help with 'paint magic' - please call Alexis at First Federal In Twin Falls at 308 - 3697.
