The staff at the Bonners Ferry Herald, 7183 Main
Street, is kicking off Labor Day weekend by inviting
everyone to head downtown, do a bit
of shopping and stop by for an old-fashioned
block party from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday,
August 31. It's the first block party ever for
Boundary County's oldest business.
During the party, Main Street will be closed to
traffic between Bonner and Kootenai Streets.
There'll be a band playing on the pavilion in
Georgia Mae Plaza, the first 200 shoppers to
stop in will enjoy free hamburgers, hot dogs,
soda and cake and everyone who brings in receipts from merchants
dated that day will be able to enter any of
several drawings for
chances to win an assortment of great prizes
donated by businesses throughout the community.
And the more receipts you have, the better your
chance to win!
Food donations for the block party were made by
Super 1 Foods, Safeway and Akins Harvest Foods
and several loal businesses, including the
Boardwalk Boutique, La Mars Sales and Service,
Top Secret, Sequels, Baby Go Round, Radio Shack,
Bonners Ferry Herald, Huckleberry Variety, Wee
Cycle, Gift Gallery, A Little Moore Quilting,
and Beck’s Furniture, donated the some
outstanding raffle items that folks who shop 'til
they drop and stop by will be taking home.
The driving force behind the party, Jaycee
Atkins, says it's a great way to get people to
discover or rediscover just how great the
shopping is in Bonners Ferry, and to boost both
the many outstanding merchants and spur the
local economy.
"This is a great way to get people to spend
their money here in Bonners Ferry," she said.
"I'm so excited! This is my project and I've
been planning it a long time. I hope you're able
to make it!"
