ill life ever seem “normal” again after what we’ve gone through the past couple years?

Probably not, but sitting here on the brink of summer’s official start in 2022, it sure feels close.

We’re not sticking our head in the sand about the ongoing pandemic, but we’re ready to stick our feet in the sand as the Inland Northwest is feeling a bit like it did in the “before times.” As you peruse this year’s Summer Guide, you might notice (as we certainly have) that there’s a lot happening in the summer of 2022. Events waylaid for a couple years like Hoopfest and Pig Out in the Park are back, and smaller community celebrations that struggled to navigate COVID restrictions and realities are back in business, too. In this annual guide to all things summer, you’ll find hot tips on local arts events, where to entertain the kids, and how to have fun on wheels or water.

You can dine and drink your way through the season in countless delicious ways, and delight in the sounds and sights of the season on stages and screens large and small.

There’s a lot to love about summer in the Inland Northwest. You won’t find a better guide to it all than this one. Enjoy.

Summertime is play time in the Inland Northwest

BY WILL MAUPIN

I

t is summer and things are happening outside.

Sports, activities and recreational opportunities have people up, active and moving around. The best part is, you can join in on the fun, too.

DON’T MISS RIBBY

A night at the ballpark is hard to beat, especially with Avista Stadium’s scenic mountain backdrop. Though, it’s made even better when the home team is scoring runs and winning games, and as of this writing that’s what the Spokane Indians have been doing over the first two months of this season. They’re near the top of the Northwest League in wins and are far and away its highest scoring team, averaging over five runs per game. You’ve got 35 chances left to catch the team in action from June 16 onward before the final home game of the season on Sept. 4. Check the schedule at spokaneindians.com.

BLUFF WALKS

The South Hill Bluff is a natural treasure in the middle of the city and a popular spot for outdoor recreation. Hikers and mountain bikers enjoy the trails that run along, and zig-zag up and down, the steep slope. Walkers and road bikers take in the views from the parkway atop the crest.

There’s a lot more to the bluff than just the recreational opportunities and sweeping vistas, though.

Friends of the Bluff, a nonprofit group that cares for the area, puts on organized, educational walks along the bluff. Jerry White from Spokane Riverkeeper will be leading two walks this month on the topic of the fish and health of Hangman Creek, the first on June 16 and the second on June 21.

Video versions of previous walks are available on the Friends of the Bluff website, allowing people to learn about the geology, plants, history, wildlife and creek on their own time. Bluff walks are free to attend, but limited to 15 participants, so make sure to register with Friends of the Bluff at friendsofthebluff.org.

BALL IN

The world’s largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament is set to take over downtown Spokane the weekend of June 25-26, after an absence of more than 1,000 days (2019 was the last time it happened). Kids, grandparents, recreational players and accomplished pros alike will take to the streets to hoop across more than 40 blocks in the city center. Between the basketball, the people-watching and the community spirit, Hoopfest 2022 is set to be the biggest celebration in, and of, Spokane since the start of the pandemic. Visit spokanehoopfest.org for all the details.

ENDURANCE CONTEST

If you’ve ever wanted to watch a throng of humans swim for 1.2 miles, then bike for 56 miles before capping the whole thing off with a 13.1-mile run, IRONMAN CDA is for you. Triathletes from around the world will converge on the silver waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene and the forested slopes that surround it on June 26 for the annual race. Spectators can cheer on participants from along the 70.3-mile course, which the most elite competitors can complete in under nine hours. Visit ironman.com/im703coeur-dalene for details.

The long-awaited return of Hoopfest is finally here in 2022.

BAG IT

Are you yearning, for once, to taste sweet victory with your next backyard burger? Cornhole victory, of course. Consider Spokane Parks and Recreation’s five-week summer cornhole league, where you’ll get a chance to hone your skills playing up to six matches per week. Those who are already masters of the bags can sign up for the competitive league and compete against our region’s lawn game greats. Registration is $60 for a two-to-three person team, and is open through July 8 at spokanecity.org.

FORE!

Imagine golf, but not snooty, not expensive, and with real nature instead of exceedingly manicured greens. Oh yeah, and a disc instead of a ball. That’s disc golf, and it fits perfectly into the ethos, and environment, of the Inland Northwest. Eastern Washington and North Idaho are home to 16 public, full-length courses, plus a number of private ones as well. Some are walking distance from downtown while others are deep in the woods, meaning your next disc golf excursion could be a quick hour on a weekday or an entire trip over a weekend.

HANG ON

Not particularly interested in hanging on for dear life to a giant rock that’s been baking in 100-degree sun all day long, but still looking to climb to the top of something just for fun? Wild Walls in downtown Spokane offers classes for beginners and is a popular spot for experienced climbers as well. Bloc Yard Bouldering Gym on the north side, as the name suggests, caters to boulderers, those who prefer to climb without a rope. Find them at wildwalls.com and blocyardgym.com.

A LOVE GAME

Summer is filled with tons of satisfying little moments.

Among the most satisfying of all is the sound of a fresh can of tennis balls being opened and the smell of the pressurized air as it whizzes out. If you’ve never experienced that, it alone is reason enough to grab some gear and head to a local tennis court. Another reason is that tennis is an ideal summer activity for our climate. The fuzzy balls don’t like the rain, which is rarely a problem around here this time of year. A gentle rally might break a light sweat under the pounding midday sun, while an uptempo match in the morning can serve as a phenomenal workout before the oppressive heat rolls in.

CHIPPIN’ IN

There are many games that one can step in and start playing without much, if any, experience — for example, every activity listed above. Golf, however, is different. Hitting a bucket of balls at the driving range is one thing, but making it 18 holes takes skill, and practice. Fortunately, there are lessons. Spokane Parks and Recreation offers lessons from golf professionals at each of the city’s four public courses.

Take a few lessons, then spend your summer on the links.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

No, it’s not thought of as a summer sport, but the first three college football Saturdays of the season come before the official start of autumn. So, summer sport it is.

Our region’s four teams will play six home games before summer’s end, including a big regional battle when Washington State hosts Idaho on Sept. 3. EWU’s home opener is also Sept. 3, while Whitworth waits a week to get going on Sept. 10. n

anito Park is the place to be across all four seasons. I love it in autumn, winter, spring and summer. Growing up on the South Hill, I’ve enjoyed the colorful foliage of autumn, the phenomenal sledding of winter and the beautiful blooms of the gardens in spring. All year long the entire park is perfect. But nothing surpasses a late evening in midsummer at the Loop Drive bridge.

For a few weeks around the summer solstice, the sun sets not just in the west but

A TRULY UNIQUE

almost in the north. During those weeks you can stand to the south and watch the sun pass behind the iconic basalt arch of the bridge. As it passes behind the bridge you can see the light it shines without being blinded by the sun itself.

Its rays pass through the towering ponderosa pines and leaves of the Lilac Garden, filtering through the greenery into a diffuse golden glow that coats all that can be seen.

There is a warmth that emanates from under the bridge, but not for long, because

WHISKEY & RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE

soon the sun will pass under the arch itself and return to its blinding ways before ultimately setting into darkness. It can only happen for those few weeks when days are this long, but also only during those late hours in which the sun remains above the horizon. By mid-July, the window is closed.

The view is still beautiful, but the shadows cast differently. There is only that fleeting window each year, with a similarly fleeting moment in those few evenings, when the park is illuminated like that from the north.

You have to be in the right place, at the right time, on the right day, to see it.

f you’re crawling out of the Inland Northwest’s seemingly perpetual spring weather and craving some creative inspiration, you’re in the right place. Living where we do, we’re lucky to have a plethora of local art galleries and museums right in our backyard that celebrate Native art, traditional art, sculpture and even offer hands-on courses for the artist in all of us. So, if you’re ready to jam-pack your days with all of the art you can get your hands on, take a look at these events that will have you exploring and creating all summer long.

WHAT’S BUZZIN’ AT THE HIVE?

The Hive, Spokane’s relatively new nontraditional public library space, is a building solely dedicated to arts education — not a book or computer in sight.

From the studio spaces that the artists-in-residence occupy to the classrooms and workshops, the Hive is filled with creative energy and fosters the desire to learn.

If you’re interested in dipping your toes into the world of the Hive and seeing what kind of community they’ve built, you’ll want to drop by for an open studio tour or two this summer. With the artists-in-residence always on rotation, you’ll be poised for new learning opportunities from experienced artists, makers and creators each time you visit and take a gander at what they’re working

on. The tours happen every Wednesday from 4-7 pm and are free to attend.

Listening to people talk about their passions can motivate and inspire the next generation of empowered creatives, so the Hive also ensures the community has the opportunity to learn from innovative artists via its artist talk series. An upcoming series highlight is Grace Athena Flott’s presentation about her collaborative portrait project that features members of the burn survivor community, including Flott. Through painting and storytelling, her project celebrates the lived experiences of people with visible scarring. Flott’s talk is June 22 at 6:30 pm.

TAKE A STROLL

Summer is for being outside, getting those steps in and taking in the world around you. Thankfully, art walks exist and are the perfect opportunity to walk around and get a taste of the art your community has to offer.

DOWNTOWN COEUR D’ALENE’S SECOND FRIDAY ARTWALK encourages community members to peruse local business, listen to live music and support local businesses on the second Friday of each month from 5-8 pm. MOSCOW’S THIRD THURSDAY ARTWALK features not only visual artists, but culinary, performing and literary artists in host locations throughout its downtown area every third Thursday from 4-8 pm. The rich local art scene in Sandpoint is showcased during the PEND OREILLE ARTS COUNCIL ARTWALK from June 17-Sept.

2, happening daily from 5-8 pm at participating venues.

Spokane’s FIRST FRIDAY ARTWALK happens each first Friday from 5-8 pm, and June’s version, dubbed the Spokane Queer Artwalk, celebrates Pride Month with art by local queer artists on display at select galleries through June 30.

AT-HOME ARTIST

Art doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg to create. No canvases or acrylic paints needed for an at-home arty party. Creating a nature collage is a great way to get kids and adults alike out of the house and exploring the world around them. Step outside and gather up your supplies: leaves, flowers, pine needles, grass, etc. Next, grab your makeshift canvas — a piece of cardboard from a shoebox or even an old postcard will do — get to arranging your items on your canvas and then glue them down with good ol’ Elmer’s, or ModPodge for a sleeker finish.

LOCAL LOUVRE

Though much smaller than Paris’ most visited museum, the Jundt Art Museum is kind of like Spokane’s version of the Louvre. One big difference between the Jundt and the Louvre: Admission to the Jundt will cost you absolutely nothing.

If you find yourself in the area, the Jundt on Gonzaga University’s campus is a treasure trove of art and culture just waiting to be admired. Throughout the summer, the Jundt is hosting exhibitions featuring prints and paintings from its permanent collections, both in the main gallery and the Arcade Gallery. Prints in the showcase include pieces by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Francisco Goya.

In addition to this best-of prints showcase, the Jundt also has a show featuring objects from its permanent collection that haven’t ever been shown before. The upcoming New To You Exhibition opens Aug. 27 with over 60 works that haven’t been on display since the Jundt opened in 1995. Visiting this exhibition is a great way to get to know your local art museum. Visit the Jundt Monday through Saturday, from 10 am-4 pm, all summer long.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Gonzaga’s Jundt Art Museum is free to all.

ERICK DOXEY PHOTO

If you’re serious about this whole art thing and want to get in the middle of the action, Spokane Art School offers myriad classes for artists of various skill levels and areas of interest. Maybe start with an art history course to brush up on your knowledge and then attend a basic drawing class with local artist Tom Quinn to gain some foundational drawing skills. After that you can attempt a stop-motion animation class or even portrait drawing. Maybe you’ll paint the next Mona Lisa? You’ll never know unless you try.

TREE GLEE

I

am mostly an indoor phenomenon. Beach days don’t often make it into my personal calendar and the thought of being outside on an 80-plus degree day makes my pale skin crawl. A semblance of relief is found only in an air-conditioned room or by floating in a pool all day long. Otherwise, the heat renders me unmovable.

In an attempt to graduate from inside to outside, one summer I took things into my own hands and tried to find outdoor activities I would wholeheartedly enjoy and look forward to doing rather than making a permanent indent in my living room couch once again.

Gardening was all right, but keeping everything alive was a different story. Hiking seemed better in my mind, and kayaking will never be my thing.

I finally found my solace in John A. Finch Arboretum.

I’m not sure if there’s a place on Earth that

14 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

I love more than the bench under the cluster of ginkgo trees or the bridge that skates over the small creek running the length of the park. I’ve read over 20 books under the trees at the arboretum, and I’ve taken many a nap while being shaded by one of the giant, looming oak trees.

More and more, I found myself hanging out with the trees in relative silence instead of complaining about the heat to whoever would listen. The trees not only gave me shade and company, but they also provided comfort and a reason to come back.

Once fall comes around, I slowly make my way around to the trees I’ve spent the entirety of my summer with and say goodbye. The ginkgos’ leaves are turning yellow and the oaks’ red, but next year they’ll be back in vibrant hues of green.

I no longer dread summer days. It’s quite the opposite, actually.

K, we can all agree that gas prices aren’t necessarily making the good ol’ summer road trip nearly as enticing this year. That said, it’s hard to match the feeling of getting out to explore the many beautiful events and places within just a few hours’ drive in the Northwest.

Roll down those windows, take your most fuel-efficient vehicle, and plan to get out and see some of the spectacular places your regional “backyard” has to offer.

LIGHTING UP GRAND COULEE

Grand Coulee Dam (about an hour and 40 minutes from downtown Spokane) is the largest hydropower facility in the country and quite the feat of human engineering to behold in person. Each summer, people flock to the area not just to tour the dam, but for the return of the nighttime laser light show depicting the history of the region and dam’s construction right on the side of the dam itself.

You can catch the light show every night at 10 through July 31. Starting Aug. 1 the show starts at 9:30 pm, then on Sept. 1 it begins at 8:30 pm, continuing through Sept. 30. You don’t need a ticket to watch, as the show can be viewed from parking sites across from the dam.

Daily public tours are also offered at the John W. Keys III Pump-Generating Plant, on a first-come, first-served basis, at 10 am, noon, 2 pm and 3:30 pm. The tours run about an hour, and while you can bring cameras, no bags are allowed.

For a fun trip and a shorter drive to bed after the light show, consider camping at nearby Steamboat Rock State Park, about 20 minutes away.

ESCAPE TO PRIEST LAKE

If you want a peaceful camping trip tucked in among the trees and near (or on) the beaches of Priest Lake, the Lionhead unit at the north end of the lake offers small campsites that get you out into nature to enjoy the beautiful waters of North Idaho.

Need help keeping your family’s focus on the trip and not on their phones? There’s limited to no cell reception within this park (roughly 2.5 hours from Spokane), which can make it easier to put down the technology and embrace the natural experience.

From here, you can swim, boat, relax on the beach, and access nearby hiking trails. Make sure to get a reservation for your campsite before heading out at reserveamerica.com.

WHEN IN WALLA WALLA

Wine lovers are likely already aware of the bounty of wineries throughout Washington, but it never hurts to mention again that Walla Walla abounds with wine tasting and entertainment opportunities.

For those who want more than just some fermented grapes, Tranche Estate (about three hours from Spokane) offers a live music series throughout the summer, so you can sit back and enjoy some food, wine, and good tunes.

Bring chairs and blankets (but not outside alcohol) to enjoy the music series on Fridays and Saturdays. There’s no cover charge, and the events are kid-friendly. Learn about who’s playing each week at tranche.wine, and learn about other Walla Walla wine events at wallawallawine.com.

HUCKLEBERRY HAVEN

Walla Walla has more to offer than wine — but we really love the wine.

OUT IN THE ORCHARD

If you’re looking to get an up-close experience picking your own cherries, peaches, nectarines and other summer fruits, head toward Wenatchee and check out Stutzman Ranch (about 3 hours from Spokane), where U-pick options adjust throughout the season starting in late June.

It’s a good idea to bring your own bucket or box, as well as a wagon to cart your picked fruit in. The orchard has a $5 per person minimum for the fruit you buy, which should be easy to reach as you

load up on fresh fruit to take home and enjoy right away, or to use for pies, jams, and other recipes.

Pets aren’t allowed, but the orchard is kid-friendly, and you’re allowed to snack while out picking. Just be sure to thoroughly wash any fruit before you eat it so you remove any of the pesticides, dust, animal poop, or other germs that may be on the skin.

Find more information at thestutzmanranch.com.

Huckleberry lovers should head to Wallace, Idaho, (about an hour and 15 minutes from Spokane) the weekend of Aug. 19-20 to participate in a 5k fun run and enjoy huckleberry treats from lots of local vendors. In addition to the fun run, there also will be a kids’ play area, pancake breakfast, live music, food booths, art vendors and more during the weekend event. Find out more at wallacehuckfest.com.

While there, if the run isn’t enough of an adventure, consider heading to Lookout Pass (about 20 minutes east of Wallace) to rent some bikes and then go a few more miles east to start at the upper trailhead of the Route of the Hiawatha trail. Converted from an old railroad route and traversing chilly, pitch-black tunnels once used by trains, the trail is a popular trip for summertime visitors.

The Wallace District Mining Museum (check ahead for hours at 208-556-1592) is also a great stop to learn about the Silver Valley’s long history of mining. n

READY FOR A NEW WAY TO GAME?

THE ROADSIDE DINER

F

ew things taste as delicious or rewarding as a hot meal in a place you’ve never been before after a long day of travel. Whether you just finished a 10-mile hike or sat in the car for a few hours and need a breather, it feels special to pop into a roadside diner, local pub or hole-in-the-wall restaurant on a whim.

Sure, the spoons may be greasy, your doctor might shudder at the calorie counts on that burger so loaded up you can’t put it down the whole time you eat it, and the regulars may give you a sideways look when you pop a squat at their usual haunt.

But, man, do those meals have a way of making a special mark on your heart.

Probably a decade ago, I took a solo backpacking trip on the Olympic Peninsula, and I still remember the delicious, juicy burger I got at Fat Smitty’s that was so big I felt like I had to unhinge my jaw to take a bite.

After leaving shows at the Gorge Amphitheatre, my friends and I have been known to stop by Bob’s Cafe in Moses Lake for some tasty pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and eggs.

Moose Knuckle Burgers and Brew in Coolin, Idaho, helped a hungry stomach on the way back from camping at Lionhead on Priest Lake a couple summers ago, as did Giorgi’s in Rathdrum on our way back from another trip.

Lastly, I’m reminded of a summer love lost.

Each summer my friends and I go camping out at Lake Pend Oreille, and after discovering (with the help of a friend in the know) how freaking delicious the cornbread was at Panhandler Pies Restaurant and Bakery in Sandpoint, I would regularly pop in to get several orders to go to bring back to our campsite.

Sadly, the owners closed shop earlier this year, and as they’re hoping to sell the business and the super special sweets recipes along with it, they’re holding off on sharing any of the magic for now. So, dear readers, if someone could please, please buy this business so we can have this decadent, cake-like cornbread back in our lives, you’d be taking up the helm of yet another memory-making roadside treasure!

ood is love. It is fuel for our bodies. It is our culture, our history, and an important part of our everyday lives. It is also an industry and a powerful economic driver that impacts us all. This summer, explore the many faces of food, from fun events and DIY projects to unusual classes and opportunities to participate in the local food system.

SEX EDUCATION

OK, so this cooking class is actually centered on Erika Kubick’s book, Cheese, Sex, Death: A Bible for the Cheese Obsessed, but events that connect sex and food are definitely intriguing. For $85, Wanderlust Delicato will guide participants through two hours of cheese-forward recipes like gool ol’ mac n’ cheese and a fancier dish called clafoutis with apples and rich Camembert cheese.

Reserve your spot for the June 29 class at Spokane’s quintessential cheese purveyor via wanderlustdelicato.com/spokane-cooking-classes.

GARDEN TEA PARTY

Can you think of a more delightful place to have a tea party than amid fields of flowers? Grumpy Chicken Farm in Sandpoint is hosting four such events this summer: July 24 and 30, and Aug. 13 and 21. Tickets are $45 for adults, $30 for children. You’re encouraged to dress to impress for this light meal with all manner of hot and cold teas, scratch-made shortbreads, scones, cookies, tea sandwiches and more. Price includes a beautiful bouquet to bring home. Visit grumpychickenfarm.com or call 208-274-3358.

PULSE PARTY

Lentils are members of the collection of superfoods called pulses, whose cousins include peas and beans. They’re also the focus of the National Lentil Festival, Aug. 19-20 in Pullman. As it has done nearly every year since 1989, the free event features a citywide celebration of lentils, the primary food export of the Palouse. Not sure how to cook lentils? Check out the cooking demos. Get to the event on Friday to sample the huge lentil chili cookoff, while Saturday means lentil pancakes from the Lions Club. Non-lentil foods and assorted beverages will also be featured, like beer from Pullman’s Paradise Creek Brewery and wine from Merry Cellars. Other festivities include a parade, live music, and assorted sporting events to watch and participate in. Visit lentilfest.com.

Is it a music festival with food? Or a food festival with live music? It’s both at Pig Out in the Park, the Riverfront Park extravaganza from Aug. 31-Sept.

5 that also marks the end of summer. The event is free, but you’ll want to bring moolah to sample some of the 245 menu items spread out over 50 food booths. This year’s event includes three beer gardens and a big public market to waddle through as you give the ol’ tummy a rest from eating and drinking.

Visit pigoutinthepark.com.

FOODIE FRIDAYS

One of the coolest things about living or working near downtown Spokane during summer is taking a walk to grab a lunch for eating outdoors. Find several food options in one place every Friday at Wall Street and Main Avenue through Aug. 26. The area is closed to vehicular traffic on Food Truck Fridays from 11 am-2 pm. Participating trucks include Tacos Camargo, Toby’s BBQ, Mixed Plate and Jerusalem, which serves Middle Eastern cuisine like crispy falafel and tender chicken shawarma. Visit greaterspokanefoodtrucks.com.

PITCH IN

What’s family-friendly, food-oriented and bound to make you feel good, too?

Volunteering with the Spokane Edible Tree Project, which needs your help gleaning food that would otherwise go to waste from such places as Green Bluff Growers and select farmers markets. Gleaned food gets redistributed to area food banks and others in need throughout the Inland Northwest.

“As the fruit season gets going, there will be more opportunities for commercial and residential fruit gleaning that will be updated throughout the season on our social media as well as newsletters,” says the group’s gleaning coordinator, Drew Clarkson.

Find out more June 25 at Big Barn Brewing (16004 N. Applewood Ln., Mead) during a free informational event from 2-4 pm. There will be food trucks on-site and beverages available from Big Barn’s Bodacious Berries, Fruits & Brews. Visit spokaneedibletreeproject.org or call 509-609-6833.

BEAT THE HEAT

Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes, and last summer necessity forced many to rethink food in light of the extreme heat. Eating cold foods and grilling are two obvious options, and while ice cream for every meal sounds tempting, there are other solutions. How about roasted meats, moist cakes and perfectly cooked bread? If that sounds good, consider solar cooking. You can buy a cooker — REI sells them for $249 — or make your own with materials you’re likely to have around the house, such as a box, aluminum foil, tape and a thermometer. Solar-cooking kits have gained traction throughout the world, including through Solar Cookers International. Find out more at solarcooking.fandom.com.

CRAVE! NW

A local outdoor event with amazing food and beverages for adults only? Sign us up. Of all the summer foodie festivals, Crave! NW at CenterPlace in Spokane Valley is geared toward the culinarily committed and curious alike, providing they’re 21 or older. Even better, the open-air event is back to its original format of three days, from July 14-16. Instead of driving all over town to try food from your favorite places like Arbor Crest, Baba Spokane, Kismet, Madeleine’s, Tavolàta and Zona Blanca, Crave! NW lets you eat as much as you’d like in one place, plus you get to try food from regional and national chefs, like Felipe Hernandez, whose tamales have people traveling to Central Washington from all over the country.

Each day has a different theme. Thursday is the burger “smackdown,” with chefs vying for your votes and live wrestling providing the entertainment.

On Friday, sample dishes from around the world as you enjoy live music and a carnival-like atmosphere. And on Saturday, chefs are bringin’ the heat following a “fire & smoke” theme as tribal dancers and drummers entertain guests.

Advance tickets start at $49, depending on the event, and slightly higher to get in an hour before the 6-9 pm general admission, because there’s so much to see — and taste — at this popular event. Also ask about package deals and group rates. Visit cravenw.com. n

SENSE OF PLACE

W

hen I moved to North Idaho in 1995, I never expected to fall in love. The company for which I worked was one of many lured from California in the ’90s, and my job involved helping hire and train new employees.

During one marathon screening session, I was distracted by the most spectacular sunset. It was just after rainfall in the gloaming hour, with trees and buildings silhouetted against a neon sky with gold, orange, blue, purple and pink. Stunning.

“Would you mind if I ran outside and snapped a photo?” I asked the fellow I was interviewing.

He smiled and I knew he knew — the same way I hope everyone gets to experience — the magic of the moment.

I was not yet 30, on a grand adventure, and I fell hard for the Pacific Northwest that summer. This was different from the sultry South of my preteens or the reassuring rhythm of the North-

east’s four-season cycle during an otherwise tumultuous young adulthood. Nor was it the exciting romance I had with New York City’s urban energy or powerful oceans I’d known on both coasts.

This was open prairie, incessant winds and the mournful song of distant trains. The lotion-y scent of mint fields at night.

Footfalls on forest paths muffled by dense cedar duff. Canfield Mountain turned lavender at dusk like “America the Beautiful’s” purple mountain majesties. The lake, everchanging, everpresent.

Although at the time I lacked words for what I experienced, I know now that it’s a sense of place, a visceral connectedness like falling in love. That sunset photo is long gone. Places I remember have changed, as have I. But my love for this land — this place — and its people has not. This is home.

Five summer events to keep your thirst quenched

S

ummer and drinking go hand in hand. There’s no denying it. A cold beverage just tastes better on a beach, in the middle of a lake or in the woods surrounded by green trees and blue skies. While we wait for the hot weather to finally arrive, here are five intoxicating events we’re already preparing for.

30 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

BY DEREK HARRISON

CAMP COCKTAIL

Hogwash Whiskey Den has been crushing the craft cocktail game in Spokane since it opened in 2016. Now, Hogwash’s Simon Francis Moorby is partnering with Renée Cebula of Raising the Bar — a vintage barware shop and cocktail culture expert — to host Camp Cocktail. The three interactive classes are spread across summer at the Den and explore the drinks of three iconic American cities.

The summer series starts on Sunday, June 26 with New York City night.

Master mixologist Moorby walks “campers” through the step-by-step process

of three drinks while cocktail historian Cebula explains how each relates to the Empire City. Camp Cocktail then heads to San Francisco (July 31) and New Orleans (Aug. 21). Classes start at 5 pm and include bartending stations equipped with tools, fresh ingredients and vintage glassware, as well as appetizers and a recipe booklet that guests can take home. Tickets ($65) are available at raisingthebarnw.com/event or by searching “Camp Cocktail” on Eventbrite.

FALL FEST

Don’t let the name fool you. The Labor Day weekend festival up at Schweitzer is one of the biggest drinking events of the summer. Over the course of four days (Sept. 2-5), 80 beers, ciders, seltzers and wines are available for sampling with live music and sightseeing via the Great Escape Quad chairlift. Whether you’re planning on bringing a designated driver or your kids, or you just want to enjoy the views, there’s also a fancy soda station for nonalcoholic imbibement. Add some lodging to the festivities, and you won’t even have to worry about the drive home. Head to schweitzer.com to find out more information.

AMONG THE PINES

BARONESSE BARLEY HARVEST DAY

If you’re looking for a road trip, hop in your car on Saturday, Aug. 20 and head to Colfax for the Baronesse Barley Harvest Day — trust us. Joseph’s Grainery kicked off this one-of-a-kind experience in 2018. Since then it’s only gotten better. LINC Malt joins the farmer with regional brewers and distillers for a day of sampling beer and spirits in the Palouse. Listen to the music of local band Tone Sober while the Joseph’s Grainery crew harvests the 2022 crop. Where else can you sip on brews and booze while standing in the very field where the barley in your glass was grown? They call it a “full circle moment,” and we have to agree. Sure, gas is expensive, but it’s free to register, and it’s definitely worth the commute. Secure your pint glass and directions to the party at josephsgrainery.com.

32 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

When two quality Spokane breweries team up, you know nothing but greatness will follow. That’s what happened when YaYa Brewing Company partnered with Precious Things Fermentation Project to launch the inaugural Among the Pines beer festival last year.

The event, nestled in the woods adjacent to the Precious Things taproom, featured 13 local breweries, unlimited pours and a collaboration wild ale bottle for each attendee.

It’s returning Sunday, Sept. 4, from 12-4 pm, and already has more than 20 breweries committed to participating. Among those serving beer under the trees this year are Whistle Punk, Brick West, Golden Handle Project and Garland Brew Werks.

The festival also serves as a charity event benefiting the LiveLikeLara Foundation. The nonprofit, named in honor of YaYa owners Chris and Jason Gass’ late sister Lara, raises money for various charities and its scholarship fund. More details to come at livelikelara.org. Space is limited (last year’s event sold out quick) so follow along and make sure to snag your tickets when they’re available. n

KENDALL YARDS

P L AY. D R I N K .

This annual event to raise funds for the North Idaho portion of the Centennial Trail returns to Coeur d’Alene’s City Park on Saturday, Aug. 20. Local craft beer, wine and cider will be flowing while Kyle Richard (2-5 pm) and the Jam Shack Band (5-8 pm) provide live tunes.

The best part? All proceeds go to the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation, meaning every cent from each ticket sold supports the preservation and development of the trail. Ride your bike to the park and take advantage of a free bike corral. Tickets start at $35 with a VIP option available for $55. Get details at nictf.org/ales.

38 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

ANFORD

ater is a hot topic right now.

The bad news is that the days of frolicking in your front yard while the sprinkler runs wild may be numbered. As water grows scarce, a new ordinance from Spokane City Council will limit yard watering to four days a week at certain times of the day. Mayor Nadine Woodward — wary of turning neighbors into sprinkler snitches — tried to veto the measure, but was overridden. It’s probably a good time to cool it on the lawn-watering.

But here’s the good news: If you’re hot, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the water that won’t get you in trouble with the hydro cops. Read on for some fun, sustainable ways to cool off.

PADDLE THE LITTLE SPOKANE

Don’t let the name fool you. The Little Spokane River offers as much fun as the main Spokane River it feeds into. The gentler size and flow make it perfect for kayaking. You can rent kayaks through the City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Department for $49. The rental includes a kayak, paddle, whistle, self-guided tour map, life jacket and shuttle service to the put-in spot at St. George’s. From there, you’ll enjoy a 6-mile, self-guided paddle through a breathtaking wildland area home to deer, moose, osprey, waterfowl, fish and other wild creatures. The rental season runs from July 2 through Sept. 4. Kayaks can be picked up starting at 11 am and are due back by 4 pm. More at spokanerec.org.

There’s nothing quite like whitewater to get the adrenaline flowing. WILEY E. WATERS PHOTO

RIDE SOME RIVER WAVES

The Spokane River is iconic. And what better way to get to know the river than to spend an afternoon being tossed around by its whitewater?

Pangaea River Rafting offers guided rafting trips down the Spokane River at $79 for adults and $69 for kids. Wiley E. Waters has a similar guided trip at $69 for adults and $64 for kids. Each trip lasts a couple of hours and climaxes with the Spokane River’s most famous rapids: Bowl and Pitcher and Devil’s Toenail.

The rapids both score a class three on the international scale of river difficulty (six is the highest). Class three rapids generally come with moderate, irregular waves; they’re manageable for beginners but still exciting enough to get your adrenaline pumping. The Bowl and Pitcher rapid is located under the wooden bridge by Riverside State Park. It’s fast-paced and heart-pounding.

Devil’s Toenail comes shortly after, with a series of twists and turns guaranteed to get you at least a little bit wet. Visit pangaeariverrafting.com.

If you’re looking for adventure on the other side of the border, try the ROW Adventure Center in Coeur d’Alene. The organization runs an all-day rafting trip on the Moyie River, a little-known gem with class two and three rapids that cut through the rugged pine and cedar forests of North Idaho. Trips are available June 4 through July 5 at $135. More info at rowadventurecenter.com and riverrafting.net.

CATCH SOME FISH

If rafting down whitewater sounds too fast-paced, you can slow things down with the gentlest of aquatic sports — fishing.

When you’re ready to cast a reel, Liberty Lake is a fantastic place to start. The lake is open for fishing from March 1 through Oct. 31.

During the warmer summer months, you can find large and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and other prized warm water species. The lake is known for having one of the best brown bullhead fisheries in the area.

If fly-fishing is more your speed, the Spokane River and Grande Ronde River are great places to start. For Idaho, try the St. Joe River or the North Fork of Coeur d’Alene.

HEAR SOME TUNES ON THE LAKE

There’s something about boats that just makes everything a bit more fun. Sure, you can catch one of the hundreds of concerts on land in the Inland Northwest this summer, but if you’re looking to spice it up, why not catch a show on a boat? Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises has six concerts scheduled for its Bands on Boats Summer Concert Series. Tickets start at $36.50. Spokane-based artist Jerry Lee Raines is headlining on Aug. 25. Visit cdacruises.com/bands-onboats for details.

SOAK UP A SPLASH PAD

Kids and families looking to stay cool can check out one of Spokane’s 19 splash pads. The pads are open from 9 am-8 pm daily between May 27 and Sept. 6. They’re located at: • Audubon Park • Carlson Park • Chief Garry Park • Coeur d’Alene Park • Franklin Park • Friendship Park • Glass Park • Grandview Park • Manito Park • Pacific Park • Thornton Murphy Park • Riverfront Park: Ice Age Floods Playground • Riverfront Park: Rotary Fountain • Shadle Park • Underhill Park Splash pads sporadically close for maintenance.

The annual Long Bridge Swim in Lake Pend Oreille is a great way to get in the water and test your swimming chops. The event was started in 1995 by local swimming enthusiast Eric Ridgway. The 1.76mile swim across Lake Pend Oreille draws hundreds of swimmers every year. Because the swim runs parallel to the Long Bridge into Sandpoint, family and friends can run alongside to cheer (or heckle!) the swimmers as they paddle their way to the finish line.

This year, the Long Bridge Swim is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 6. Register at longbridgeswim.org. Money raised by the event goes to swimming lessons for local youth.

CHECK OUT A WATERFALL

The 198-foot Palouse Falls is Washington’s official state waterfall.

They are stunningly gorgeous — and massive. Go in early summer to experience the full force of the snow runoff. The falls are just off the Snake River, about a two-hour drive from Spokane. If that’s too far, try checking out the Spokane Falls in the heart of the city. Huntington Park is a great place for an up-close view. For an aerial view, try the gondola. Tickets are free for children under 2, $5.75 for children 2-12 and $7.75 for adults. The ride lasts about 15 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at riverfrontspokane.com or on-site. n

WHEN THE VIRUS FORCED US OUTSIDE

love playing guitar, but pre-pandemic, I would never have considered doing it outdoors. The acoustics are weird, there’s no electricity, and I was worried about irritating fellow park-goers. But then the virus hit, and the sweaty, cramped basement where I used to practice with my friends suddenly felt like a COVID petri dish. Taking the tunes outside felt like the only option.

On a sunny day sometime in summer 2020, my friends and I hauled a stripped-down drum kit, an guitar and a battery-powered keyboard to a Macoustic eth ow nearby park to play music together for the first time R since. the pandemic started. It didn’t sound great. The drums crashed and echoed across the field, and the tiny . piano was barely audible. Still, it felt liberatelectric Twisp R ing. I couldn’t help but wonder why we hadn’t done this before. As we launched into a sketchy cover of Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park,” a neighbor I’d never met came up to us, and we chatted for Lake Chela n what felt like hours.

En tia Other parts of my life were also t R. Litt le W forced outdoors. In the fall of 2020, I met weekly with ena tch college classmates to study together in chilly grass ee R . fields. When cases spiked in January, I sat in a socially Nason R. distanced circle in a friend’s backyard for the rainiest, coldest New Year’s Eve party of my life.

Icicle R Times have changed. Gathering in a poorly W . en atchee ventilated basement is no longer a public health faux R pas. But. still, a part of me misses the days when going outside was the only real way to socialize in groups.

Trying to adapt an indoor activity to the outside is often inconvenient and challenging, but it offers a new perspective, and a fresh look at what it means to be Ya ki together. m Even if we don’t have to anymore, I hope we’ll a R. remember how fun it is to take the party outside.

hether you’re into contemporary outdoor spins on Shakespeare, massive Broadway hits, regional one-act play festivals or just quirky musicals about nuns, this summer’s theater will leave you spoiled for choice.

ACT FACT

If you’ve taken your time reading this issue, you’re at risk of missing three noteworthy shows. PASS OVER (until June 19), Antoinette Nwandu’s acclaimed play about two Black men seeking the promised land, is in the final weekend of its three-week run at Spokane’s Stage Left Theater. Likewise, time’s running out to catch Spokane Civic Theatre’s 32ND PLAYWRIGHTS’ FORUM FESTIVAL, a showcase of one-acts by regional playwrights. The festival runs in two rotations of roughly five plays each until June 19. Fortunately, you still have just over a week to catch Spokane Ensemble Theatre’s contemporary take on the Shakespearean rom-com MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (until June 26) in the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture’s amphitheater.

thanks!

SPOKANE VALLEY SUMMER THEATRE

“There seems to be something special about each show” in Spokane Valley Summer Theatre’s 2022 season, says Managing Director Marnie Rorholm.

For THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY (June 17-26), that special something is the hiring of an Equity union actor, J. Clayton Winters, to play the lead opposite local talent Andrea Olsen as Francesca.

“This is the first time we’ve done that. Most of the time we want to search locally and hire locally, but in this case, we cast a wider net. He’s amazing and is going to be really dazzling in the role of Robert Kincaid,” she says.

On top of that, this run marks the regional premiere of this musical adaptation of Robert James Waller’s enduring heartland romance story.

What makes NEWSIES (July 8-24) unique is that the theater’s rented a former Broadway set designed exclusively for this Disney film turned hit musical about young news sellers leading a charge against the unfair practices of publishing magnates. Rorholm describes it as a “phenomenal” three-story scaffold structure that can be dynamically reconfigured for different numbers and scenes. Along with lending the show some extra glitz, it’s giving the theater’s camp and theater education students the opportunity to work with a Broadway-quality set.

The remarkable thing about SISTER ACT (Aug. 5-21) might be less visible but is no less important. For this gospel-infused comedy musical about a lounge singer who joins a convent as part of the witness protection program, a large portion of the cast has stuck with it throughout the pandemic downtime.

“It was cast back in February of 2020, and now in 2022 we’re finally able to perform it with all the original ‘nuns’ who committed to this project,” Rorholm says.

“We’re calling this the blockbuster season because, coincidentally, all of these shows have been a movie at one time or another. And this is our first full season after two years. We’re thrilled about it, and we think that audiences will be just as excited as we are.”

Get tickets at svsummertheatre.com.

PLAYTIME IN THE PARK

Geared for midteens to young twenty-somethings with at least a smidgen of experience on the stage, Spokane Civic Theatre’s Summer in the Park (June 28-Aug. 20) is a program of eight different performing arts classes to hone your acting chops. There are dedicated workshops on improv, comedy, drama, playwriting and even tried-and-tested Shakespearean techniques, not to mention weekly “Play in a Week” camps throughout the summer. Groups meet at the Civic before heading down to the Forestry Shelter in Riverfront Park. Find more info at spokanecivictheatre.com.

It must be because the STCU Best of Broadway series is bringing the hottest musicals in the theater world to the First Interstate Center for the Performing Arts this summer, starting with HADESTOWN (July 5-10), an award-winning modern retelling of the ancient Orphic myth. That’s followed by COME FROM AWAY (Aug. 9-14), which recounts how a small town showed its big heart during the 9/11 attacks. And a scorching new production of the ’60s-inspired HAIRSPRAY (Sept. 20-25) keeps the dance party going after the solstice. Find tickets at broadwayspokane.com.

PERFORM LIKE THE PROS

Kids and teens who want to return to school in the autumn as triple threats — that is, actors, singers and dancers — might be inclined to sign up for THE MAGIC OF BROADWAY day camps offered by Christian Youth Theater (CYT) Spokane. These two one-week sessions July 11-29 will give 8- to 18-year-olds the chance to perform songs, choreography and scripts from famous Broadway Musicals. CYT North Idaho, meanwhile, will offer a full slate of weeklong camps: SURF’S UP! (July 11-15), LITTLE RASCALS (July 18-22), BROADWAY: NEXT GENERATION (July 25-29) and Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL JR. (Aug. 1-7). Aimed at newcomers and seasoned performers alike, each camp has a different age-appropriate grouping.

COEUR D’ALENE SUMMER THEATRE

After six seasons at the Kroc Center, followed by two years of COVID hiatus, Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre is back on the stage of the Schuler Performing Arts Center (SPAC) at North Idaho College.

“The [Schuler] is a big part of the excitement of coming back,” says Executive Artistic Director Chuck Etheridge. “It has 1,160 seats versus the just under 400 seating capacity of the Kroc Center. It’s just a much bigger venue with more seats and a big orchestra pit.

We love the Kroc, but the SPAC has always felt like home.”

The theater is capitalizing on that extra space by going big, big, big — starting with the more than 50-person combined cast and orchestra of MAMMA MIA! (July 1-10). This jukebox musical about the topsy-turviness of love and marriage is built around a playlist of ABBA’s pop hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Super Trouper” and, of course, “Mamma Mia.” Next up is LITTLE WOMEN (July 22-31), a musical based on the hugely successful 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott. It chronicles the

52 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

formative years of the March sisters, with focus often falling on Jo, the headstrong aspiring writer of the bunch. Incidentally, this musical also features a song called “Take a Chance on Me,” but it’s set a good 100 years before ABBA’s heyday.

Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre rounds out its 2022 season with NUNSENSE (Aug. 12-21), which turned a clever line of greeting cards into a global phenomenon and a long-running entertainment franchise. It’s a delightfully ridiculous tale of the surviving members of a convent staging a chaotic variety show in an attempt to offload a few frozen corpses.

Etheridge says the summer lineup includes “some of the best pop music ever written,” “one of the best stories and best American novels ever written,” and “one of the funniest musicals ever written.”

“These might sound like superlative descriptors, but they’re true,” he adds. “It really is just an amazing season.”

Tickets for the 2022 season are at cdasummertheatre.com.

This year, the Pend Oreille Players received 78 one-act play scripts from around the world and whittled them down to just eight. Now it’s time to perform those winning entries as part of their annual One-Act Play Festival at the Pend Oreille Playhouse in Newport. You can catch all eight of them daily Aug. 12-14. Better yet, conquer your stage fright and audition for a role July 11-12. There’s a total of 22 roles for actors ages 18 to 80; get the inside scoop at pendoreilleplayers.com.

MODERN LOVE

Join the Spokane Shakespeare Society (aka S3) as they reimagine the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet. Directed by Jeffrey Phillips Christiansen, this production reframes things from the point of view of the two titular star-crossed lovers. Spoiler alert: Things still don’t go so well. Live performances take place under the Pavilion in Riverfront Park from July 21-31, Thursday through Sunday. Learn more at spokaneshakespearesociety.org.

ANGER MANAGEMENT

Jointly co-directed by Josephine Keefe of Spokane Ensemble Theatre and Jeremy Whittington of Stage Left Theater, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is about a rock singer whose sex-change operation goes wrong, leaving her disfigured, tormented and challenged to find happiness in love and music. Told through a musical language that draws deeply on glam rock and proto punk, this fiery show, running July 29-31 at the Bing Crosby Theater, has been an award magnet and popular hit since it debuted in 1998. n

Where to find solace and fun when wildfire smoke or high heat hits the Inland Northwest this summer

I

BY CHEY SCOTT

f recent summers are any preview, it’s best to be prepared for the chance your outdoor summer plans could go awry. You know, when a blanket of lung-damaging wildfire smoke descends on the region for weeks, or another 100-degree-plus heat wave makes stepping outside feel like a tormenting blast of hellfire. Maybe it’s even a rainy day, considering we’ve had such a wet spring. Heading to the mall or a movie is an easy option, but we dug a little deeper for these alternatives.

54 INLANDER SUMMER GUIDE 2022

With the bliss of air conditioning and enough to see and do that you’ll be occupied for at least an hour or more, museums are the perfect reprieve when it’s hot, smoky, rainy or otherwise unpleasant. Among the region’s museums that range from smaller, community-run venues to the region’s go-to, the MAC, here are some exhibit highlights to put on your summer to-do list.

Families and film buffs alike can enjoy the NORTHWEST MUSEUM OF ARTS & CULTURE’S marquee summer exhibit, Dreamworks Animation: The Exhibition — From Sketch to Screen, on display through Sept. 1. Learn all about the art and technology that brought films like Kung Fu Panda to life. Other exhibits you’ll want to see at the MAC include a look back on the region’s wheat industry in Golden Harvest: Flour Sacks from the Permanent Collection (through Oct. 30), plus the Native culture- and history-focused Awakenings: Traditional Canoes and Calling the Salmon Home (through Aug. 21). Find hours, admission and more at northwestmuseum.org.

Take a drive to Washington State University’s JORDAN SCHNITZER MUSEUM OF ART, which has two main showcases: Our Stories, Our Lives: Irwin Nash Photographs of Yakima Valley Migrant Labor and Keiko Hara: Four Decades of Paintings and Prints. The Irwin Nash collection features photos of migrant farm laborers from 1967-1976 amid a period of rising labor and protest movements. The spotlight on Keiko Hara is a retrospective of the Walla Wallabased artist’s career as a Japanese woodblock printmaker. Admission is free; find info at museum.wsu.edu.

History lovers and railroad aficionados can head east or west to get their fill of rail-centric museums in Wallace, Idaho, or Reardan, Washington. Go east on I-90 to get to the NORTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT MUSEUM, where visitors learn about the essential role railroads had in developing the Silver Valley’s legendary mining industry, and how the historic depot was physically moved and preserved at its current site. The depot remains mostly unchanged since its days as a regional hub, from 1901 to 1978. Learn more at npdepot.org.

Go west on Highway 2 and just past Reardan, you’ll see an unusually placed collection of train cars off in a field. That’s the INLAND NW RAIL MUSEUM, which resided at the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds for 30 years before reopening at its current location in 2016. From model train displays to restored train cars and equipment, plus its mini train ride, “The Reardan Rocket,” there’s tons to see and explore. Hours, admission prices and a special event schedule are at inlandrailnwmuseum.com.

Even more regional museums are waiting to be explored, including the SPOKANE VALLEY HERITAGE MUSEUM (spokanevalleymuseum.com), Coeur d’Alene’s MUSEUM OF NORTH IDAHO (museumni.org) and the HISTORIC FLIGHT FOUNDATION (historicflight.org) at Felts Field.

CLEAN OUT YOUR BASEMENT

No, really. An ideal time to retreat to the cool confines of underground concrete walls is when it’s hottest or smokiest outdoors. If you’re like me, your basement has at least a few piles of “stuff” that needs dealing with, whether stashing it in more organized fashion, selling it online or donating it to a local nonprofit. For the latter, consider places like the Arc of Spokane, YWCA Spokane’s women’s clothing bank, World Relief Spokane, Teen & Kid Closet and other locally run groups. When you’ve finished, you’ll feel so good. Crack a cold one — you deserve it!

TAKE A LOCAL LIBRARY TOUR

Several Spokane Public Library branches have recently been rethought and revamped as public spaces for learning, gathering and idea sharing. While checking out some good summer reads is a must, there’s lots more to see and do at those reopened branches, which also offer a welcoming, cool and smoke-free environment when being outside (or at home) is unbearable.

When the SHADLE PARK branch reopened last fall, it debuted several new amenities, including the “Moose’s Market” children’s play area, a quiet room for studying and reading, a discovery garden, demonstration kitchen and more. On the east end of town, the LIBERTY PARK branch also reopened with similar amenities, such as the “Sasquatch Shack” kids’ space, plus a curated local art collection.

Meanwhile, the downtown branch, renamed the CENTRAL LIBRARY, is set to reopen July 11, debuting a reworked floor plan that also features a kids’ space called “River Rumpus.” Other new amenities include a music and media recording studio, cafe and retail space, and the new home of local radio station KYRS. A grand reopening celebration for the Central Library is set for Monday, July 11, from 9 am to 3 pm. For more info on all the branches, visit spokanelibrary.org.

Whether you’re brand new or picking up where you left off as a kid with games like Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering, the Comic Book Shop’s NorthTown Mall location offers weekly opportunities to brush up on or learn a new card game. If you’re immediately hooked, the shop has all the booster packs, deck boxes, dice and other supplies.

Then, check out game tournament schedules at its three locations so you can, as they say, “ pwn the noobs.”

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

Feeling pissed off, brokenhearted or just want to smash some stuff without feeling bad about it? Spokane’s newest “rage room,” Rage Xscape, opened last year and offers an outlet for all that and more, and in a climate-controlled, windowless setting. Located downtown, at 122 S. Division, ragers ages 12 and up can reserve a time to become “masters of destruction.” For package details and to book, head to ragexscape.com.

SWIM TIME

Here in the Inland Northwest, a lot of the things we like to do outside in summer are also accessible inside, and year-round, including a relaxing swim. You can still beat the heat, and (safely) skip the sunscreen! At the SILVER RAPIDS indoor water park at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, overnight guests (a limited number of day passes are also available) can enjoy the park’s lazy river, an indoor surf wave, kids water area and much more. While it’s not the same as going to the lake, when that’s off the table, it’s perhaps the next best thing. North Idaho is also home to Triple Play’s RAPTOR REEF water park, which boasts a wave pool and loads of prehistoricthemed indoor water features.

uckleberry culture is, without question, huge in the Pacific Northwest. Come summer, restaurants and gift shops from the San Juan Islands to Western Montana go all in on the craze, with tourist-aimed products like huckleberry-flavored kettle corn, barbecue sauce, seasonal cocktails and more.

While I’ve lived in the region for 30plus years, it wasn’t until a few years ago I could confidently identify a huckleberry bush in its wild, subalpine habitat, and I hadn’t once partaken in the Northwest rite of summertime picking. Then fate stepped in, and quickly turned me into a diehard huckleberry hound who now won’t miss an annual picking pilgrimage ever again.

My love of the tart ruby- to purplehued berry began during a family hike at Mount Spokane. It’s rare we’re all together these days, as my sister lives in Austin, Texas, but during one of her summer visits, we went on a day hike to the Vista House. As it happens, earlier that same summer a friend pointed out to me yet-to-fruit huckleberry bushes along a trail near Priest Lake. Weeks later, when I spotted them everywhere on Mount Spokane, I was astounded to discover the bushes were also totally loaded with ripe

fruit. Our hike that day was waylaid by numerous picking pit stops.

Huckleberry acolytes may laugh, but until that day, I’d always believed the berry was so rare you had to be in on a big secret to know where to pick them.

While I understand the need to protect one’s favorite patch (I’m not going to tell you our exact go-to picking spot, either), I now realize there are plenty of huckleberries to go around. The real payoff comes with lots of patience and persistence.

Four hours of picking at Mount Spokane, where the berries are small compared to, say, North Idaho’s penny-sized prizes, usually nets our group of four pickers between 2 and 3 pounds total; some eaten right away, the rest frozen for later.

If you’ve never been huckleberry picking — or it’s been awhile — there are few activities in my view that reap such a delightful reward. One that’s made even better by fresh mountain air, sunshine and good company, or a simple and quiet escape into nature.

S

ummer is a time of seemingly infinite freedom: School is out of session, the weather is vibrant and warm, and the mundane structure of day-to-day life is relaxed thanks to all the events and fun the season brings with it. Even with all of this free time and new opportunities, it’s sometimes challenging to find things to do that meet the needs of a family with kids. Luckily, there are plenty of fun and exciting things to do in the Inland Northwest to keep the entire family busy all summer long.

OLD-TIME TRANSPORT

I know I’m not the only kid who’d watch a movie set in the Middle Ages or a fairytale world and enviously watch the main characters galavant around in a horse-drawn carriage. Since carriages aren’t common anymore, the awe and wonder surrounding such a concept is more pronounced, even in the minds of teens and adults. This summer, however, you may finally be able to experience the seemingly fantastical mode of transport. Free carriage rides, sponsored by Wheatland Bank, happen every Friday evening, from 5-9 pm, throughout the summer. The eight- to 10-minute journey begins in Riverfront Park near the SkyRide, and each carriage seats up to eight, making it the perfect thing to do while waiting for an event downtown, or just looking for something fun on a Friday evening.

YOUNG KWAK PHOTO

Green Bluff is an Inland Northwest staple, and summer is one of the prime times to visit its farms and get your hands on some locally grown fresh fruit, like apricots, cherries, peaches, blueberries, blackberries and more.

For strawberry lovers, Siemers Farm’s strawberry festival, happening June 17-July 9, is an ideal time to get outside and pick some fresh, juicy berries, taking a free tractor ride to get there, of course.

Starting in July, head to Fleur de Provence Lavender Farm on the weekends, Friday-Sunday from 10 am-4 pm, to pick a bundle of lavender and enjoy views of the fields of purple flowers and buzzing bees. To find out what else is happening at Green Bluff this summer, visit greenbluffgrowers.com.

ESCAPE INTO READING

Our local libraries always have lots of events and summer reading contests that make learning in a non-school environment fun for kids of all ages.

The SPOKANE COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT is hosting a summer reading contest, for which readers earn badges for every hour read, and for completing challenges like writing a book review or attending a library event. Each badge earns an entry into a prize drawing, with winners announced Sept. 1. With all the events at its branches across Spokane County, such as family storytimes, camping challenges, solar system labs and tie-dye parties, earning badges is an easy task. More info at scld.org.

For North Idaho readers, the COEUR D’ALENE PUBLIC LIBRARY has lots for all ages. Storytime events in the park and at the library are perfect for toddlers and younger kids, and a range of science and craft classes cater to the whole family. Other events include board game nights for teens, and a variety of musical events. More info at cdalibrary.org.

BACKYARD CAMPING

Camping is a classic summertime activity, especially in the Pacific Northwest with the tall pine trees, starry night sky, and numerous lakes, rivers and hiking trails. But with wildfires and unhealthy air quality from smoke becoming an annual occurrence, it can be tricky timing a camping trip. Sometimes smoke blows in unexpectedly, and driving hours back into town after finally setting up the tent is an experience to avoid.

Luckily, the backyard is a great camping location during random bursts of good summer weather, and it’s an affordable alternative to expenses for gas and campsite fees. And in the event that smoke wafts in from nearby fires, an indoor refuge is just feet away. While stargazers in the house may not be able to see as many dazzling lights, a small telescope can reveal some of the hidden secrets in the night sky. Plus, the oven and barbecue are within arms reach, so burgers, corn-on-the-cob, and s’mores can be enjoyed with ease.

PEDAL KART THE PARK

Riverfront Park is a great place to go on a sunny day, and with the recent addition of rentable pedal karts, exploring the park becomes exponentially more fun. These karts are perfect for kids age 5 and up, but even adults can take them out for a spin. Riverfront currently has four singleseat and two double-seat carts that can be rented at the Numerica Skate Ribbon and SkyRide building. Kids can ride these karts to one of the many playgrounds in the park, stop by the Looff Carrousel or Red Wagon, or take a trip over to Mobius for a break from the heat to learn some science facts. Don’t forget about the Rotary Riverfront Fountain, right next to the Skate Ribbon, and a great way to cool down and make a splash after returning the kart for the day.

SUNSHINE AND CDS

G

rowing up, road trips were a common occurrence for my family. Whether we were venturing a couple of hours north to visit my grandparents, or driving down the coast to California, being in the car for long periods and listening to music became a staple of my summertime experience.

Generally the soundtrack of these trips consisted of songs from Jack Johnson, Neil Young and Ray LaMontagne, along with ’90s rock classics from Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Sublime. As I got older and started to request to hear some of my favorite songs and musicians, Taylor Swift joined the ranks as one of the artists who’d always receive a Grammy-level, sing-along performance from me.

While I might not always listen to these songs on road trips I take now, if I need a healthy dose of nostalgia and serotonin on a warm, summer day, I’ll start playing an old road trip CD my parents burned over a decade ago and cruise down the highway, just like old times. And sorry in advance to anyone who happens to pass me on the road this summer; I never said my Grammy-level singing actually won.

How to have a blockbuster summer at home, on the lawn, in your car or even at the movie house

BY DAN NAILEN

E

ven with all the outdoor activities available thanks to warmer weather and long, sunny days, and even with annual family reunions and road trips in the mix, summer remains prime time for movie lovers. There’s something about the freedom of the season that loosens our schedules and lets us find ways to spend a couple hours in darkness, exploring fantastic worlds, intimate storytelling and, sometimes, simple excuses to laugh our asses off. Here are a few ways to help make the movies part of your best summer.

GET TO THE GARLAND

I’d recommend a trip to the Garland Theater any time of year, really, because I love the place. Discounted movie prices ($5, and just $2.50 on Wednesdays), a nice little bar in the lobby (Bon Bon), top-notch grub to enjoy while you watch (get yourself a Porky’s Revenge sandwich and thank me later) all make it a sweet spot for catching a flick. In the summer, in addition to their regular programming, the Garland adds in free shows for kiddos every Monday through Friday at 9:30 am during summer break. And the Garland’s Summer Camp series of classics — of both the cult and traditional varieties — has some great ones on tap this summer, including The Goonies (June 19), They Live (June 26), Stand By Me (July 10) and The Outsiders (Aug. 7). Keep up at garlandtheater.com.

GET FANCY

Many of us know the feeling of trying to create a romantic movie date night at home, only to realize that no matter how tasty the takeout, how pretty the flowers, how expensive the wine or how good the movie, you’re still basically just camping out on your couch like most nights. And that’s OK! But if you really want to make a special evening, maybe leave it to the pros, like the folks at Spokane’s Moonlit Movies Co., who will set up an intimate bubble tent in the outdoor locale of your choosing, and fill it with a table, rugs, cozy pillows, cushions and blankets, as well as a screen and projector, for you to watch Casablanca, When Harry Met Sally, Blue Is the Warmest Colour — whatever your romantic jam is. Check out the available packages at moonlitmoviesco.com.

DIY FILM FESTIVAL

Your summer might be go-go-go, a relentless barrage of visiting relatives, car trips to shuttle the kids to camps or swimming pools, and, oh yeah, your job still exists! Why not take a little time to create your dream film festival lineup, then make it happen in your TV room or on a screen in your backyard? You could dedicate a day to watching as many Quentin Tarentino or Wes Anderson flicks as possible, or make your way through every version of Little Women you can find.

If a full day watching movies isn’t feasible, try dedicating one night a week to your dream lineup. Every Sunday night, get the popcorn ready, order a pizza, and sit down to lose yourself for a bit. I’m considering building a summer festival of blockbusters from my ’80s summers growing up. You can do a lot worse than spending an evening revisiting Raiders of the Lost Ark, Tim Burton’s Batman, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Gremlins or E.T.

So simple, yet so magical: A night at Colville’s Auto-Vue drive-in.

POP-UP FLICKS

A couple spots in the area add movie screenings to their diverse array of activities each year, and this summer is no different. The HUB Sports Center is a place that on normal days is full of pickleballers, volleyballers, martial artists and more. On July 30, though, they’ll screen one of the all-time summer classics, Jaws, on their outdoor screen at 8:30 pm, and you can bring a car full of fans for $25.

The Pavilion in Riverfront Park hosts free movies in July and early August at 8:30 pm, and the lineup includes Cruella (July 6), Encanto (July 20), Ghostbusters Afterlife (July 27) and The Princess Bride (Aug. 3). So pack a blanket or a chair and settle in for a beautiful night outside. More information at hubsportscenter.org and riverfrontspokane.org.

GO NORTH

While the pandemic led to the creation of pop-up outdoor movie screens both in parks and backyards, there’s no beating the experience of going to a real old-timey drive-in. And the Inland Northwest actually has one in Colville’s Auto-Vue Drive-In Theatre, which has been screening flicks in the summer since the 1950s. It’s 70 miles or so north of Spokane, so you can enjoy a mini road trip, some smalltown ambience, and then a double-feature at dusk. The Auto-Vue’s season typically runs until just after Labor Day, and you can scope out the schedule on the theater’s Facebook page. It’s only $7 for an adult ticket, $3 for kids 11 and under, and on Sunday nights you can cram a car full of friends and family in for just $15 total. The box office opens Fri-Sun at 8 pm. For details, Facebook: Auto-Vue Drive-In Theatre.

CAUGHT IN A (TOURIST) TRAP

G

rowing up, summer’s arrival naturally meant it was time for a family vacation. With three kids of varying ages in our household, it was the one time of year our parents could wrangle us all into the family station wagon and take a trip. The drives were often hellishly hot, with a soundtrack built around my mom’s Neil Diamond collection, but we got to see the country on those annual trips, from the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the Corn Palace of Mitchell and from South Dakota to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Totally recommend all three, thumbs up!

Those early days packed in a car could have put me off tourist traps for life, but like so many unpleasant childhood experiences, I ended up embracing them when I grew up and started planning my own summer excursions.

Some seek out summer seclusion by a mountain lake or remote beach — give me the boardwalk at Venice Beach or Coney Island, the long lines for roller coasters at Cedar Point in Ohio, the crush of humanity on induction weekend at Cooperstown, New York’s Baseball Hall of Fame.

If I don’t experience something a little too crowded, too hot and after navigating too much traffic, it just doesn’t feel like I’ve done anything with my summer.

What that will be this year remains to be seen. Perhaps a music fest in California, an amusement park in North Idaho, or Prairie Dog Town in western Kansas. What?

It closed down? Maybe I’ll just keep rolling to the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri. Wherever I go, you can bet the soundtrack will be better than Neil Diamond.

ure, there are plenty of music happenings in the Pacific Northwest all year long, but summer sounds just hit differently. It’s a time when we want to be taking in our concerts under the stars, blaring new tunes on the car stereo with the windows rolled down, or enjoying some time away from the parents with our sonic compadres at a musical camp. It’s time to get loud.

SCARCE SOUNDS

Nobody is stoked about how sparse the Spokane Pavilion concert offerings are in its second year as an active venue. Only three shows announced so far?

C’mon, AEG Presents. All we can do is take what we get, I guess.

At least one of those shows is PHOEBE BRIDGERS (Aug. 18). The singersongwriter queen of bummed-out millennial poetry went from under-theradar favorite to festival headlining star with the release of 2020’s Punisher, and her live shows now serve as a beautiful collective angst valve for our pent up anxieties.

ZACH BRYAN kicks off the Pavilion season on July 13, after recently making history when his latest album, American Heartbreak, debuted at No. 1 on the Country and Rock and Folk/Americana charts in early June. Rounding out the current slate is a co-headlining date from reggae rockers IRATION and rapper ATMOSPHERE (Aug 13). Get tickets at spokanepavilion.com.

GORGING ON MUSIC

Having the best outdoor music venue on the planet a mere two-hour drive from Spokane is a blessing not to be overlooked. Attending a show at the Gorge Amphitheater should be a bucket list item for any Inland Northwesterner even if you don’t care for the musical acts on stage. Thankfully, there’s plenty of variety when it comes to the Gorge’s offerings.

To be frank, the Gorge has largely morphed into an electronic dance music oasis over the past decade. This summer features not one, not two, but three EDM fests: BEYOND WONDERLAND (June 18-19), ABOVE AND BEYOND GROUP THERAPY WEEKENDER (July 22-24), and BASS CANYON (Aug. 18-21).

The only thing more of a Gorge staple than ravers is DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, which returns for its annual Labor Day residency (Sept. 2-4). The country music party that is WATERSHED FESTIVAL rounds out the venue’s multiday gatherings (July 29-31).

If you’re looking for a one-night outing, the Gorge is hosting the stompfolk of the LUMINEERS (July 16), the pop country of the CHICKS (Aug. 13), and Mexican music legends LOS BUKIS (Aug. 26). Get tickets at livenation.com.

The Spokane Symphony’s road trip to Festival at Sandpoint is a sure sign of summer.

LEARNING FOR A MUSICAL LIFE

Few things can enrich children’s lives like music, and setting them on the path to play and create music on their own is one of the best uses of summer downtime. With that in mind, here are some summer music camp options in the area.

In Spokane, HOLY NAMES MUSIC CENTER offers an array of camps: jazz camp (Aug. 4-6), an introduction to choral singing camp (Aug. 22-25), the more casual Music Explorer’s Summer Camp (July 25-29), and more.

For kids looking to start a new instrument, ABLE TO PLAY’S immersive beginners camps for piano (July 8-12, July 22-26, Aug. 12-16) and drums (July 15-19, Aug. 5-9) might do the trick.

For more advanced teens, WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY’S Cougar Summer Music Camp and Summer Keyboard Explorations camp (both July 19-25) offer students a chance to hone their musical craft among their peers with top-level instruction.

For more dramatically inclined crooning kids, the HESPERUSARTS Musical Theatre Day Camp (July 5-8 and Aug. 22-25) and ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL’S Musical Stars on Stage program (July 18-22) offer young ones and teens an expressive outlet for their summertime melodrama.

ON (SAND)POINT

While the Festival at Sandpoint might be somewhat of a misnomer (“A Little Over a Week-long Concert Series at Sandpoint” doesn’t have quite the same ring), there’s little to argue with when it comes to the actual experience of the yearly outdoor music gathering on

the banks of Lake Pend Oreille. Over the course of 10 days, War Memorial Field hosts nine concerts which cater to many different musical interests.

The biggest name on the bill is certainly the BEACH BOYS (even if it is the neutered Mike Love version) who visit Idaho on Aug. 4.

There are plenty of other headliner varieties of white-dude-with-aguitar music, whether it be folk (GREGORY ALAN ISAKOV, Aug. 5), indie (Mt. Joy, July 30), country (CHRIS JANSON, July 29), or rock (THE REVIVALISTS, July 28; Kaleo, Aug. 3).

LINDSEY STERLING brings her blend of violin virtuosity and electronic music to the fest (Aug. 6), while PINK MARTINI (July 31) also brings some notes of orchestral flair to their traditional pop arrangements. The festival wraps up with a visit from SPOKANE SYMPHONY on Aug. 7. Get tickets at festivalatsandpoint.com.

SONGS OF THE SUMMER?

Finding a perfect new album to be the soundtrack to your summer is always a winning proposition, and there are plenty of notable releases in the coming months that could be just the tuneage you’re seeking.

On the pop spectrum, Lizzo looks to follow up her smash breakout album, Cuz I Love You, with Special (July 15). The emotive songwriter end of the pop dial is also well-represented via Maggie Rogers’ Surrender (July 29) and Conan Gray’s Superache (June 24).

There’s also more than enough upcoming indie rock goodness to make it Indie Girl Summer, be it queer indie pop earworms on Muna’s self-titled LP (June 24), the sunny buzzy rock of Beach Bunny’s Emotional Creature (July 22) or the more melancholy songwriting

COURTESY PHOTO

on Soccer Mommy’s Sometimes Forever (June 24).

For the dads who enjoy rocking out while flipping burgers on the grill, the summer isn’t lacking big guitar attacks either; whether it’s the radio-ready rock of Imagine Dragons’ Mercury - Act 1 (July 21), the bluesy riffs on Jack White’s Entering Heaven Alive (July 22) or the arena rock grandeur of Muse’s Will of the People (Aug. 26).

Those looking to vibe out to some EDM will be happy that Western Washington’s own ODESZA finally returns with a new album The Last Goodbye (July 22). And while hip-hop artists tend to be less album-focused these days, the next couple weeks see new releases from Lupe Fiasco (Drill Music in Zion, June 24), Kevin Gates (Khaza, June 17), Joey Bada$$ (2000, June 17) and The Game (Drillmatic, June 17).

GOING ALL IN

A casino might not be your first choice when it comes to concert going, but you can’t deny the talent that Northern Quest Casino is bringing to its outdoor stage once the weather heats up.

Northern Quest kicks off the season this week with a barrage of classic rock from JOHN FOGERTY (June 17), ’90s rock from BARENAKED LADIES, GIN BLOSSOMS, and TOAD THE WET SPROCKET (June 18), and comedy rock via TENACIOUS D (June 20). But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The summer slate — which is over a dozen shows deep — ranges from country superstars BRAD PAISLEY (June 26) and DWIGHT YOAKAM (Aug. 5) to hip-hop acts like FLO RIDA and T.I. (June 23) to rockers ranging from GOO GOO DOLLS (July 22) to PAPA ROACH (Aug. 20). n

CLING TO ME LIKE A PLASTIC WRISTBAND

W

hile I may lack captivating tales of storybook summer romances, that doesn’t mean I haven’t experienced crushing summer heartbreak. Loving is easy, losing that love is hard. I, of course, am talking about dead summer music festivals.

While it’s easy to be jaded about many aspects of modern summer music fests — be it their crowded natures, corporate sponsorships, bros behaving badly, etc. — they largely remain blissful experiences for me. I still adore wandering between stages hoping to find a new favorite band, camping out at the front of a stage to hear a beloved fave, and all the messiness in between. But a lot of my best fest times are now relics relegated to the past tense, as the festi-

vals themselves have become defunct.

My first summer love was the Vans Warped Tour. As a teen whose primary musical wheelhouse was pop punk and its offshoots, the traveling one-day punk fest was a musical mecca. In Billings, Montana, where I grew up, bands like Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, Against Me!, The Used, Bowling for Soup, Saves the Day, The Living End, and Motion City Soundtrack almost never swung through town. So my favorite day of the year wasn’t my birthday or Christmas or any of that nonsense, it was Warped Tour day. Starting in 2002, even when the fest wouldn’t stop in the Big Sky State, I’d drive 10 hours to Boise or Denver to catch it. As is the natural way, I lost touch with newer pop punk

music post-high school, and going to Warped Tour stopped being an essential day on the calendar. But when it ceased touring in 2018, I can’t say the childish part of my psyche wasn’t feeling a bit emo.

In the years since, I’ve lost other loves in the form of the fabulous Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge (which had filled the Warped-sized hole in my heart) and even Seattle’s Bumbershoot (at least temporarily MIA). I get bummed out every spring realizing they’re not on the horizon.

They all hurt my sonic soul, but that first heartbreak will always cut the deepest.

Have you ever wondered how healthy your liver was?

Spinning your way to an excellent summer

hen it comes to finding entertaining things to do this summer, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. The good news is they already invented that, either in 3,500 B.C. in Mesopotamia or by the 4th century B.C. in Greece, depending on whether you include pottery wheels in that definition. We’re feeling generous, so we’ll award it to the Mesopotamians. Celebrate wheels this summer — from the ones on the bus that go ’round and round, to the one in the sky that keeps on turning — by taking part in all of sorts of wheeled activities, from bikes to cars to electric scooters.

DRIVE YOUR NON-CLASSIC CAR TO CAR D’ALENE

While I’m not a big car fan, I am a big fan of city-name-based wordplay.

And “Car d’Alene” deserves to be elevated to the pantheon with “SpoCannibas” and “Spokandy” of local wordplay examples. Come to downtown Coeur d’Alene on Friday, June 17, 6-9 pm, to watch a bunch of cool cars cruise in a loop along Lakeside from Eighth Street, then Fourth to Wallace to Second Street, and finally east along Sherman. The show itself is Saturday, June 18, from 8-4 pm at the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association parking lot at 105 N. First St. If you’re lucky, you’ll even be able to listen to one of those car horns that go “ahooga ahooga!” You know the ones I mean. Visit cdadowntown.com for more info.

DEFY THE OBSOLETE COVID SIGNS ON YOUR LIME SCOOTER

Two years later, our community is still filled with the detritus of the early days of COVID, when the virus was still a scary mystery. So you’ll still see signs warning that riders of Lime scooters should stay 6 feet apart, “wipe shared surfaces,” “use a mask and gloves,” “wash hands before and after riding,” and “use only for essential travel.” Now, of course, we know that COVID doesn’t spread on surfaces and that riding a scooter or bike outdoors in the open air is one of the safest ways to get anywhere (when it comes to COVID, at least).

But if you want the rebellious anti-government thrill of being a COVID-science denier, without actually denying any of the (current) COVID science, this is your best opportunity to do so.

You probably should still wash your hands after using the bathroom, but we’re not going to be a narc or anything. We can keep your dirty little secret.

PEDAL WITHOUT BEING SQUISHED AT SUMMER PARKWAYS

Anyone who bikes to work like me has noticed that, in the last few years, the roads have been dominated by giant pickup trucks, the kind that look like giant earthmovers built to destroy Ferngully’s rainforest. Keep your eye glued to the obituary page in the coming months to see if the remnants of my body have made a cameo on one of the truck’s grilles.

In the meantime, you and I can feel safe hanging out at Summer Parkways on June 21, from 6-9 pm, where a whole 4-mile route is closed off to cars, allowing cyclists, rollerbladers, roller skaters and unicyclists free rein to rule the streets of the Manito and Comstock neighborhoods on the South Hill before the predators return. Visit summerparkways.com for more.

SPIN THE WHEEL OF ACTIVITIES

The downtown spinner wheel was a bit depressing during COVID, what with so many proposed activities shut down.

But such COVID lockdowns seem far in our past — at least at the time of publication. Solve your indecision by grabbing hold of the spinner on the wall at Wall Street near Riverfront Park and giving it a whirl. Maybe you’ll land on “Ride the Skyride in Riverfront Park” or “Feed the Garbage Goat at Riverfront Park” or “Explore Mobius Discovery Center.” Fortunately, no matter how lucky you get spinning this wheel, there’s no “bankrupt” wedge. Nobody wants a repeat of the 2008 Wall Street debacle.

PETTING ZOO ON WHEELS

Everybody loves roller skates. Everybody loves cute animals. On Sunday, July 24, from 1-5 pm, Spokane Valley’s Roller Valley roller rink — owned by Ukrainian refugee Zhanna Oberemok — is combining both phenomena, holding a petting zoo at the roller rink to help local animal nonprofits. Tickets are $8 — bring donations like dog food, cat food, bird cages and reptile beddings and you’ll get a free cup of petting zoo food. Here we’re imagining a llama wearing roller skates, which, if that isn’t already in the plan, they should definitely make happen.

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR WHEEL

So you have an electric unicycle, but nowhere to ride it?

Meet up with the “E-Skate Group,” a roguish gang of eclectic longboarders, one-wheelers and electric scooter riders who go out for a group ride from the Riverfront Park fountain on Fridays at 6:30 pm and Sundays at 12:30 pm.

“Our rides are usually less than 15 mph, and we do frequent stops to collect stragglers. We usually ride about 7-8 miles, then go out for something to eat, and a charge up. We frequently meet at Gerardo’s Authentic Mexican or David’s Pizza,” group member Christopher McNeal says.

“Helmets are encouraged!”

Like I said: rogues. n

BALCONY SEATS TO AN EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE

M

aybe the happiest I ever am during summer is not an isolated event. It’s more a genre of moment: The location can vary. Maybe it’s a bed and breakfast, maybe on the balcony at our family’s Lake Coeur d’Alene cabin.

Maybe it’s while camping.

I’m always on some form of vacation. It’s always morning. The air always has a slight crispness to it. Sometimes there’s fog rolling over the lake or hummingbirds chirping at the feeders. I always have a cup of coffee in my hand — it doesn’t have to be good coffee; any brew will do. And the final ingredient is a laptop or a book. It doesn’t even have to be a bad book. In fact, this sort of environment is the one place I can actually immerse myself in literature.

I love reading, of course. But as an adult, reading is like seeing the Milky Way. I can’t do it if I’m too connected to civilization.

There are too many other options: Video games, movies, TV, Twitter feeds all beckon constantly, pulling me away from the pleasure of books. Boredom — the kind of boredom that drives discovery, that drives creation, has been chased away by the infinite stream of entertainment at our fingertips.

So that’s the last ingredient: no internet.

Either the setting doesn’t have it, or the setting is so serene I choose not to use it.

I woke up early at a Mount Rainier campground last year, lugged my Inlanderbranded camping chair to the nearby riverbank, plopped open my laptop and wrote for two hours. For once, it wasn’t a piece related to work. It was a personal essay, the kind of piece that can take months, even years, to finish because I can only make progress in perfect settings like these.

It’s the same way with my even more absurd personal project, 2020: The Musical, my Hamilton-but-with-Pence-and-Fauci fan-fiction of a musical-theater epic. To be clear, there is no music or talent involved, in any sense of either word. No, it won’t be performed, even in a semi-amateur fashion — because, like the coffee, it’s not really any good. Being good isn’t the point. It’s the ritual. The joy of absorbing creation and the joy of creating creation.

Donations of all sizes make a difference, and with a donation of $125, your name, your dog’s name or personalized message will be etched on a stainless steel charm.
