Small towns are everything big cities aren’t. Small-towns in Southeast Idaho are most often defined by family-friendly characteristics like a slower pace of life, proximity to nature, and a kind of genuineness, authenticity and connection that isn’t prevalent in more densely populated areas. Southeast Idaho offers a warm and welcoming environment for its residents. One of Parker's favorite small towns, Sugar City, holds a town motto that exudes his point. Sugar City's town motto, “Sugar City, the Sweetest Place on Earth,” highlights its historical connection to sugar beet farming. This strong farming heritage created a community full of close-knit neighbors who are hardworking, kindhearted, and committed to helping one another. The community of Sugar City and its neighboring small towns are still known for their agricultural production including potatoes, wheat, barley, and other crops.
