Week brings celebration of art, literature & more
SANDPOINT – It’s time to celebrate art, literature, life, the great outdoors and women’s rights.
Head to the Pend d’Oreille Winery tonight for the Sandpoint Literary Collective’s pop-up open mic. Then make plans to head over to the Panida for three nights of some of the best outdoor and adventure films to hit the screen. On Saturday, it’s the fourth annual N. Idaho Women’s March.
And if all of that isn’t enough, there’s a full slate of art exhibits, music and tons of fun and the slope as Schweitzer holds its Martin Luther King weekend slate of activities.
