The Idaho Youth Challenge cadets assisted with the first weekend and were a great help in getting lights wrapped up the trees as far as possible. Tree tops are started and will continue through the next few weeks.


Reserve the date to celebrate December 3rd. Parade entries will begin lining up behind the Idaho Correctional Institution Orofino Honor Guard at the corner of Michigan Ave and C Street down College Ave at 5pm. Parade begins at 6pm heading toward Johnson Ave and continues to 3rd Street for our residents at Brookside Landing to view. Participants will disperse then or continue to the city park for the Tree Lighting at 7pm. Spectators are encouraged to view along Michigan Ave above the City Park or at Canon Park for the official lighting and then continue to the City Park for a community social.
Some other activities will get us in the holiday spirit beforehand starting on November 20th. The Pierce Community Center Annual Holiday Bazaar and Orofino Senior Citizens Crafts & Bake Sale both happen from 9am-2pm Nov. 20th. The Bald Mountain Ski Sale & Swap will have two days of shopping Dec 3-4 from 7am-2pm at the Old Jr High Gym Orofino. Then on Dec 4 is the Annual Pierce Festival of Trees event from 5:30-8pm at the Pierce Community Center. Letters to Santa will be accepted again this year by the Chamber in various locations throughout the community too.
Merchant Open House and Shop Local events will be going on up until Christmas in our communities. Dates and locations will be announced in the coming weeks. Please visit our website at clearwatercountyadventures.
I have also been asked when Merchants want to hold Open House days or Shop Local events. Please email this information to me at your earliest convenience, so I may include in the next article and share with community.
Thank you,
