TODAY’S SCAVENGER HUNT
Every day during Treefort 2022 we’re giving away prizes from local Boise businesses! Just keep your eyes on our Instagram feed for clues and be the first to the prize box to win!
TODAY’S PRIZES ARE FROM:
Lumos Optical
Armed with the desire to provide our community with affordable eyewear, we gave ourselves a challenge: find a way to offer quality frames and lenses, rivaling the world’s top brands, but for a fraction of the price. What developed out of this passion was Lumos Optical. At its core, Lumos aims to address a simple problem: Glasses are just too expensive! You shouldn’t have to compromise when quality, convenience, and affordability are concerned.

This Is Boise features a robust events calendar, ticket sales, restaurant and nightlife, plus so much more. We believe that Boise is full of stories worth telling- and we’re here to share them.
