    The Basque Block Thursday is a concept brought to the Boise community by Auzolan, a group of Basque Block businesses and organizations working together to educate the community about the Basques and give a chance for everyone to gather together on the Basque Block each Thursday. *The event with Kurt Koontz will be at the Basque Museum, not the Basque Center.
