On this President's Day holiday, the state Capitol is filled with folks, from families with their kids out of school who are taking a look, to more than 100 4-H kids attending a conference, to families and friends of former lawmakers who've died in the past year who are here for memorial services in both the Senate and the House. Also, on the 4th floor of the Capitol rotunda, the 28th annual Idaho Watercolor Society art show starts today, with more than 80 original works on display, nearly all of them for sale, with prices ranging from $45 to $820.
