Who said North Idaho is boring?

Really though... I hear people complain about being bored here all the time. I have to say that throughout the summer it should be pretty impossible to be bored. Every week I do my best to keep you all informed about what's going on and what's new. I really try hard, no joke! And yet I still miss a lot of things because there is just SO MUCH to do around here.Are you bored? Shame on you! North Idaho rocks and that's that.Photo courtesy of Megan Brewer. www.brewers2001.com/Now, on to the weekend events!

Hayden Days

Hayden Days is this weekend! Woohoo! Growing up as a Hayden-native I love this weekend dedicated to our little town. There are so many fun things to do. Live music, food, a parade, classic car show, craft vendors, local performances and so much more! Bring your friends, family and kiddos down and check it out.

Live Entertainment

There's a ton of live music and stage performances this weekend. All summer long really. Plus the Festival at Sandpoint starts this weekend. I really wanted to make it up for the Avett Brothers but I don't think that's going to happen.Cd'A Summer Theatre - No, I didn't misspell theater. They went all Shakespearean on us. "Romance Romance" is playing this weekend at NIC. You can purchase tickets there, online or by calling (208)769-7780.Lake City Playhouse - "Bat Boy: the Musical" is playing. I have no idea what this is, but CHS grad, Cody Bray, is playing Bat Boy so I know it would be worth checking out. Let me know if it's as crazy as it sounds.Music
