Skateboard prepares for decent.
I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | July 21, 2022 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY — The Skate and Music Showcase on Saturday was family-packed fun despite the scorching heat.
Presented by the Boundary County Skatepark Alliance, local band King Friday kept the bass line slapping and the skaters and bikers kept trying out tricks for everyone to see. Community members congregated and met neighbors new and well-known.
BCSA is cultivating a community climate centered around the skatepark and family. At the next event, bring a blanket or a lawn chair, sunscreen and come ready to meet people, like we used to.
