Today Is Your Last Day to Name an Idaho Snow Plow!

Is there a more influential Idahoan in recent history than Ashton Jeanty?

Survey says: NO.

While we have absolutely no clue if Ashton Jeanty was ever even an established Idaho resident, the all star running back from Boise State University spent more than enough time here in Idaho and it was beyond impactful.

Iconic? Sure--Boise State is well known, nationwide, in the football arena. But Ashton Jeanty only amplified the Broncos' presence in national media discussions because of his dominant ways running the football.

By the end of the season, Jeanty had led the Broncos to the first ever College Football Playoff and later on, became the highest drafted NFL pick in Boise State history.

Perhaps the most 'SO IDAHO' thing about Jeanty? He was a big enough deal to see a literal snow plow named after him.  The star athlete was a man for the people and we'll never see another like him.

Speaking of that snow plow--the whole idea of naming it after the star running back came from an annual and festive competition put on by the Ada County Highway District.

Did you know that you can submit your idea to NAME a snow plow ahead of winter?

The contest is live now and today, Wednesday October 22nd is the very last day to submit--so, what are you waiting for?

You can submit a name of your favorite Boise State player or perhaps something that is funny, wintery, or just has a ring to it. Winning names will be narrowed down by a public vote and vetted, first, by ACHD officials.

Nominees must be Ada County Residents and some of the rules include--NO politics (that's a relief) and nothing inappropriate. The names will literally be attached to those giant plows that keep our streets safe and clean in the winter.
