A new program is aimed at nurturing the artistic talents of the community's middle and high school students. The program, Expressions, is a partnership of the Pend Oreille Arts Council and Kaniksu Land Trust.
The winter session of Kaniksu Land Trust's nature education initiative for adults is now open.
Seven traditional living classes will be held at the Big Red Shed located at the Pine Street Sledding Hill, 11735 W. Pine St. Students forge new skills, build friendships, and craft traditional items for their own use in a casual, small group setting.
In a remarkable show of community support, Schweitzer has donated 50 chairlift chairs to Kaniksu Land Trust to bolster its ongoing “Save the Sled Hill” campaign.
The chairs, previously part of the beloved Musical Chairs chairlift at Schweitzer (also known as Chair 2), are being replaced by the new Creekside Express high-speed quad. KLT officials said the creative gift will make a significant impact on the fundraising effort to purchase and establish the historic Pine Street Sled Hill property for the community.
Music, dancing and unforgettable memories. What's not to like about Kaniksu Land Trust’s highly anticipated SledFest?
Taking place on the last Saturday in August, SledFest is a summer music festival that celebrates winter fun. It is an event to bring the community together to preserve the Pine Street Sled Hill, the historic skiing and sledding hill that locals have played on since the 1940s.
Members of the Timber Framers Guild will converge on Sandpoint this weekend to participate in a special workshop organized by local craftsman Collin Beggs.
Guild members will learn from two master carpenters specializing in traditional Japanese timber framing during a 10-day course at the University of Idaho Sandpoint Organic Agriculture Center, and the class project, a bell pavilion, will be installed at Pine Street Woods to hold the bell crafted by local artisan Mark Kubiak.
