Got your Fourth raffle tickets?

SANDPOINT — If you haven't bought your raffle tickets for the Sandpoint Lion's annual raffle, you still have time.

Well, until 9 p.m., that is. 

This year, the top raffle prize is a $5,000 shopping spree in Bonner County and the second-place prize is $1,000 in cash.

Tickets can be purchased in person from the announcers booth by 1908 Saloon, 222 N. First Ave., during the parade at from the Lions booth at Sandpoint City Beach following the parade. 

Sandpoint Fourth of July activities kick off at 9:30 a.m. with the Kids Parade, followed by the Grand Parade at 10 a.m.

There is no need to register for the Kids Parade; all youngsters need to do is show up at Fifth and Church. The parade then goes down Church Street to First Avenue before ending at the Bonner General Health parking lot at Third and Cedar where all young parade participants will receive a goodie bag.

The Grand Parade starts at the same location at Fifth and Church. From Church Street, the parade goes east toward First Avenue, down First Avenue and then ends at Fifth and Cedar.

This year's parade marshal is Dale Coffelt, selected because of his many contributions in the community and his support of the Lions Club.

New to the Fourth lineup this year is a beer garden on the lawn area of the Edgewater Resort near City Beach. Sponsored by Eichardt's Pub and MickDuff's Brewing, the Lions are hoping the addition will help cover the costs of the fireworks show.

To help feed the hungry crowds, nine food vendors will be set up at the beach. A list of the vendors can be found on the Lions social media pages.
