STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 8 years, 3 months AGO
Don’t be alarmed if you hear and see fighter planes passing over downtown Coeur d’Alene this afternoon.

For a $20 donation, attendees have the chance to be photographed with their cars and an A-10 Warthog. Photos will be taken between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Burgers and beer will be available for purchase from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Food and beverage prices: $7 burger; $4 hot dog; $3 Bud Lite; and $1 for fry bread.
