Happy birthday, Spokane Humane Society!

Join the Spokane Humane Society as they celebrate their 115th birthday this Saturday at 6607 North Havana Street from 11 am - 2 pm.  They are inviting all of their four-legged "alumni" and their forever families back to the shelter for the celebration. 

The Spokane Humane Society has a lot of great activities planned for the party.  Animals and their owners from each year can gather for special photos. Everyone is welcome to bring pets they have adopted from the Spokane Humane Society so they can interact with everyone.  You can also bring and share photos of your pets, tour the facility and see the new spay/neuter clinic.  They will even hold a special memorial for all of the pets that have passed away.

Also, local area dog groups will be on hand to display some of their favorite dog activities including frisbee chasing, agility training, obedience training and even a few dance moves. 

For the past 115 years, the Spokane Humane Society has sought to provide a safe clean shelter, food, medical assistance and forever homes for abandoned and homeless animals.  They are hoping you will help them celebrate all of these years of service this Saturday..

Cupcake workshop helps North Idaho College sports

Cupcake workshop helps North Idaho College sports

It’s time to put the final layer of frosting on local cupcake coverage. Before we do, you’re going to need the skills to make your cupcakes beautiful in the comforts of your home.

That’s why there’s a local decorating workshop with Baltimore, Maryland's Charm City Cupcakes next week to help you out.

Here’s the left field kicker. The workshop is also a fundraiser for North Idaho College’s Athletics Department and during our conversation with the athletics director, Al Williams, he made his pitch for cupcakes and how it all comes back to sports.

Q: Why cupcakes?

A: During one of my travels, I went to Charm City Cupcakes. I was talking to the owner... They’re the official cupcakes of the Baltimore Ravens. ... Sports is kind of a neat thing they took on. A player with the Ravens like their cupcakes.
