Ryan and Jame Davis took their teens, Emily and Sam, to Disneyland for spring break.

Great fun in store on Friday night with the third annual Cowboy Ball to benefit the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo Foundation and the incomparable Kelly Hughes and his band. Looking forward to emcee duties and the addition of the mechanical bull. Not that I'm likely to take a spin, but it should be great spectating. I love this event for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it celebrates the real cowboys, ranchers and farmers who for generations have contributed so much to our North Idaho way of life. It's sure to sell out, so call today to check if tickets are still available, 765-4969.
