SANDPOINT — It’s been done before with great results, at least according to testimony from Sandpoint residents and business owners at Wednesday’s city council meeting.

“The last time they were here it was fantastic,” Steve Meyer, owner of Pend d’Oreille Winery, told the council.
The council — absent Councilman Bob Camp — voted unanimously to approve a temporary code modification to allow tent camping at the park to accommodate the non-profit bicycle education group, Ride Idaho.
