Hemingway was described as unusually hesitant, disorganized, confused & his eyesight was failing. He was concerned about money, missed Cuba, his books, and his life there, & was afraid he'd never go back. Hemingway became paranoid, believing the FBI was actively monitoring his movements in Ketchum. Under an alias he was admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where he was treated 15 times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) . Hemingway said, "What is the sense of ruining my head & erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure, but we lost the patient" Two days later Hemingway unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer, put 12 shells in the shotgun, put the end of the barrel into his mouth, pulled the trigger & blew out his brains here.

Next Tuesday, October 7 is last for 2014. THE GOODS Booths line both sides of about a half block. While a small market the choices are many and excellent from organic produce of all kinds, splendid looking fresh baked berry pies (a line here before the market opened so that is a good sign), pasture raised pork, local raised beef, fresh eggs, goat cheese and artisan baked breads to name just a few of the several items for sale. Bellvue General Store was in the house selling their homemade pesto and catsup among other treats from that store just in case you forgot to stop on your way through Bellvue. There were also a couple of local artisans like a women selling adorable earrings and a man selling handsome coffee mugs THE MUSIC Live music every week. The performer on our visit was Mark Mueller on acoustic guitar with vocals. I wanted to pull up a seat and stay for his entire gig for the four hours of the market. Go listen to him wherever he plays. HOURS 2:00 - 6:00 THIS N THAT 1) PARKING On street parking is very, very limited in Ketchum. You will have better luck in shoulder season, after Labor Day, but even then it is lucky to find a parking spot. 2) ACCESSIBILITY Ketchum is miserable for access infrastructure like parking, curb cuts and sidewalks. Know that in general before you go if mobility is an issue. But the market itself is on level paved street and nicely accessible if you can get there. 3) FOOD STAMPS They take them. 3) GOOD NEIGHBOR Bigwood, the bread people, is right next door with retail café.

Yes, it's just that good. We began with some wine selections and the Goat Cheese appetizer. The Goat Cheese was adorned with a cranberry and pear relish and served with bread. It was so delicious. There was literally nothing left. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Idaho Trout and Beef Short-rib. The trout had a nice panko almond crust and was served with roasted potatoes. The short-rib was served over polenta with roast veggies--purple cauliflower, carrot and broccoli. Shoutout to Dexter and the other staff for making our experience the best!

Nothing too special about the decorations other than the display of wine bottles. Highly recommend!

It's sad that basic common sense has been depleted in today's world that even w customer service employee behaves in such a manner to a paying, returning customer. One hundred dollars today cost this place much more in the long run. Hire better. The guys at the pool bar by the way, were absolutely fantastic!

The "salsa" was some kind of weird dressing type dip, not a salsa. Would be better with just a normal salsa. Also ordered the fried pickle spears they were tasty, but a huge portion for two people. That's a lot of pickles to eat. The service was excellent, and our server was fun to chat with. We'll be back. Will try some different foods next time.
