Summer finally arrives in North Idaho

Pam Houser

Summer has finally arrived, well according to the calendar anyway. The Post Falls Visitor Center has had people from around the country, coming to North Idaho for a variety of experiences. The great thing about North Idaho is you can take advantage of events, attractions and experiences year round. I encourage you to visit our website for a complete list of things to see and do in our community. Information: www.visitpostfalls.org or www.postfallschamber.com

While we are on the subject of “the information highway,” in addition to our website, you can tune into KVNI on Thursday mornings, 6:30 a.m. for the latest and greatest news from Post Falls. VP, Jame Davis and I will be bringing you fun facts and rave reviews about our business community. Tune in on July 5 and 19.
