entertainment options are a rockin' and a rollin'

SANDPOINT – It’s all about the classics this week in Sandpoint, whether it’s the host of classic rides that will be pouring into town, or the classic tunes that come with the Lost in the ‘50s concerts and events!

The fun starts tonight with the ‘Rock n’ Roll Heaven’ show at the fairgrounds and rolls mightily on into Friday with the car parade, street dance and a big concert. Saturday is full of fun, starting with the car show downtown and winding up with another great fairgrounds show that evening.

The Panida has an animated film starting tonight and running through Monday and there’s live music, well – everywhere this week.

On Wednesday, Sandpoint Area Seniors host an evening with football legend Jerry Kramer, starting with a meet and greet and the Panida Little Theater and then moving to the big auditorium to hear Jerry’s incredible stories.

Press that poodle skirts, dust off the leather jacket and go have a blast!
