Planning just started but an exciting KRD
shaping up |
February 8, 2018 |
|
It was only the first planning session for a
week-long event that's still months away, but
even at this early stage, it's already obvious
that Kootenai River Days 2018, July 16-21, is
going to be a celebration the community can be
proud of.
A lot of ifs were bandied about among the dozen
or so in attendance, but there were enough sure
thing events already booked that means there's
going to be something going on for nearly
everyone, young or old, to enjoy.
A Farmer's Market, a Bull Bash, a family movie
at the Pearl. A street dance with the Devon Wade
Band, bounce house and even a refreshing water
slide (they talked to the meteorologists --
summer is almost guaranteed to be upon us by
then). There'll be a Wine Walk, a street fair. A
comedy show at the Kootenai River Inn. A Crazy
Dayz street sale and softball, softball
softball!
With all that, everything else that's added
between now and then will be icing on the cake!
Some of the ideas discussed were an antique
tractor show and a "Memories of Kootenai River
Days" business window decorating contest. But
the Bonners Ferry Chamber of Commerce members
who are organizing the extravaganza are actively
seeking ideas from the community, especially
vendors, musicians, performers and those with
skills to offer to make this years' Kootenai
River Days one that will be remembered for years
to come!
If you have ideas or suggestions to share, email
bonnersferrychamber@gmail.com, or plan to attend the next
planning meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 8,
location to be announced.
And no matter what, clear your calendar to be in
Bonners Ferry the week of July 16! |
