Happy 13th birthday to Post Falls resident Kyler Miller!
Post Falls Police led a car surprise parade by the young man’s house, with horns and sirens blaring and followed by cars full of his friends and loved ones.
“It’s awesome!” Kyler exclaimed.
His mom, Julie MacArthur, had emailed PFPF to see if they would do something special for the birthday boy since he won’t be able to have a big celebration because of coronavirus restrictions.
“They had a K9 unit and everything,” she said. “It was amazing. I’m so glad they did it.”
