MARCH ROARS IN WITH LOTS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
SANDPOINT — March roars in with wild fun at every turn! But, before we let February loose for the year, just take a look at tonight’s entertainment options — might be the busiest Thursday yet.
This evening will feature a cool event for those who love yoga and music, as Courtney Elise hosts another installment in her popular ‘Yoga N Tunes’ series at Sandpoint Hot Yoga. I’m excited about this one, as I’m the ‘tunes’ side of the equation and the acoustic music is designed to flow with the energy of the yoga practice.
Also tonight, POAC presents auditions for Northern Stars Rising at the Heartwood Center and there are two trivia events going on.
This Friday and Saturday, the Angels Over Sandpoint bring us the 17th annual Follies at the Panida Theater and, also on Saturday, Schweitzer hosts an Alpine and Snowboard Demo Day on the hill.
Get out and be the lion as the new month rolls in.
