Patch Picks for the upcoming week: Obviously, new organizations are unable to provide the reader with exactly the stories to come. However, taking a look at what happened last week and the schedule of events for this week, here are some ideas of what you will see in the Boise Daily.

1. The Ammon Bundy trial starts Monday dealing with his behavior at the Idaho State Capital. Expect his supporters to be out in force and we will have all the trial's highlights.

2. The Urban Land Trust recently provided a presentation to the Ada County Commissioners with ideas for Expo Idaho. The Boise Daily will report on those ideas and the associated costs for upgrades to the land housing the local fair.

3. Heat and more heat. The story of how hot Boise is and will be writes itself.

4. The Boise Daily takes a look at the chemical spill at the Fairmont Pool.

5. We will update you on festivities for the upcoming Fourth of July in Boise.
