Gearing up for Swish

July 9, 2011
It's the final days until the Bonners Ferry Swish fills the streets of downtown Bonners Ferry, and coordinator Ron Sukenik has a few announcements to make as the clock counts down.

Players registered for this year's Swish, expected to be the biggest since the event began, can pick up their shirts and team packages at the back door of the Bonners Ferry Museum from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 15.

All the volunteers who will be working hard to make the event a success are asked to attend a short training session on monitoring and scorekeeping at 5 p.m. Friday, July 15, in the Museum event room. Volunteers attending will be served dinner, and may also pick up their shirts.

Anyone who'd like to help set up for Swish is invited to show up downtown from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 15, to place the goal posts and do all the myriad other work that has to be done before players hit the pavement Saturday morning.

If you'd like to volunteer, contact Colet Allen, (208) 267-8130 or by email, colet@meadowcrk.com, or Jan Klopfenstein, (208) 304-4572 or by email, thmrpigs@live.com.

If, instead of volunteering, you'd rather be part of the attraction by playing, you can register on the Bonners Ferry Swish website, www.bfswish.com. The final day to register is Tuesday, July 12.
