Skiing is over......now what?

"DESTINATIONS IN A DAY GETAWAYS"

Michelle's Travel Blog, by Michelle Weltz

EEKS! The ski season is over, yet it is still snowing in the Flathead Valley! What do we do on our weekends now?????

As the advertisement came on for Lookout Pass Ski Resort's last day being a FREE ski day for everyone, I seriously considered packing up all my ski gear and heading to their resort for on last "fling" in the snow. But alas, common sense got the best of me and I decided not to head to Lookout Pass that day. However, it got me thinking, where could we go in a day's drive for a nice overnight stay that was out of the snow completely??? Someplace fun, interesting, and inexpensive.....someplace within a three to four drive, but not crowded with people? My husband had the answer.....Post Falls, ID. Post Falls, isn't that the city we always drive by leaving Coeur D'Alene on I-90 heading towards Spokane? "Yep, that's the one. The one with the new Cabela's sporting goods store," my husband replied. Ahh, yes the truth comes out....he has a reason himself to go to Post Falls.

If you're not familiar with Post Falls, let me give you some insight. Straight from the city's brochure, "Post Falls is known as Idaho's River City. It sets on the shores of the Spokane River and is just minutes away from both Coeur D'Alene and Spokane, with unlimited things to do." The brochure continued with, "Post Falls is the perfect place for anyone seeking fun and excitement, cultural and historical enrichment, or just plain fun." Okay, I admit that I'm into the "just plain fun" aspect of that statement!

And we did have a lot of fun during our weekend at Post Falls. We found a great hotel, the Sleep Inn, located just of I-90. The staff was very friendly and our room was clean! We loved that the hotel was pet friendly and had a great pet area. Plus, the Centennial trail (for walking and biking only) runs directly in front of the hotel. We took the dogs for a nice long walk to Falls Park. This park has a playground, picnic tables and for scenic purposes, a waterfall and view of the Post Falls Dam......ahhhhhh, a Kodak moment.

Once we were done hiking, it was time to do what every woman loves to do....SHOP! Yes, we did start with Cabela's and then moved onto the Spokane Valley Mall and neighboring areas. As we drove around we saw there are tons of things to do in a weekend......shopping, dining, concerts, riverboat cruises, auto racing, golfing, seaplane tours, Silverwood theme park......wow, so much to do in a weekend, I think we'll just have to come back to the Post Falls Area!!!

Watch for WhitefishRadio.com's newest webpage, "Destinations in a Day" with great travel ideas for the family!

Thank You's All Around!

WhitefishRadio.com would like to thank everyone involved in the P.TA. tailgate fundraiser at last Friday's Whitefish Bulldogs homecoming game. I discovered years ago that one of my greatest strengths is serving others. I truly believe in investing myself in the community that I live in. Never do I feel better about how I have spent my time than at the end of a day of service. I know that the contributors to this P.T.A. fundraiser share these feelings. I would like to personally thank Mike's Conoco, Luizanne's Fine Catering, Whitefish Pizza Hut, Alpine Market, and Whitefish Care for their food and beverage contributions. We grilled a lot of bratts, and sold lots of pizza by the slice and freshly baked cookies to the hungry football fans. We also made a lot of new friends. All of the money raised goes to the Whitefish P.T.A.

Speaking of fundraisers! WhitefishRadio.com is back at it again this Saturday October 4th from 6:00 to 10:00pm. It's "OCTOBERFISH" A fundraiser for the Stumptown Art Studio. The Big Fish will be hosting the event. Right after the OOM PAH PAH polka band...we will be playing some good ol Rock n Roll and giving away raffle prizes. I've had a chance to view some of the items in the silent auction and I was very impressed. Tickets are $50.00 per person and include: A souvenier beerstein or wine glass, complimentary food, drinks, cigar bar, bee garten, raffle prizes and more. Come on out and support our local non-profit community art center. Call 862-5929 for on line at http://www.stumptownartstudio.org/ See you there!
