WHITE BIRD -- My apologies to 4-H youth Cassie Chandler for not being included in last week's list of achievers at the 2010 Idaho County Fair. Cassie won a blue ribbon and came in first place in her class for fitting and showing, which was her first year taking a market animal. Congratulations to Cassie, her parents, and all 4-H members for their strong showing at the 2010 fair.
The National Register of Historic Places for Idaho County lists the home and drugstore of Dr. William Foskett on the west side of River Road in White Bird. This building is also home to White Bird Antiques, owned by Bruce and Pat Ringsmith. To help identify the building, a nifty sign has recently been installed above the porch awning.
The Salmon River Art Guild is a busy organization! This month begins a 10-week art class given by Slate Creek artist, Gloria Teats, and she is also the featured September artist at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown. This fall, White Bird artist, May Baker, will be offering two different classes and guild members, Cindy Greer, Leah Harvey, Nancy Gresham and Elaine Lathrop, are also offering art instruction. Cattleman's Restaurant in Riggins will be featuring the paintings of Elaine Lathrop in September and Rick Weholt in October. Jeannette Klobetanz's photograph talents will be on display at Sterling Bank in Riggins, and Kathryn VanAcker's paintings at Wells Fargo Bank in Grangeville this November. The Best Western Salmon Rapids Lodge in Riggins is the scene of this year's 46th annual regional art show and silent auction the weekend of the Sept. 9-10. This is a free show, and art entries are open to everyone. For information about the Salmon River Art Guild, which meets in White Bird, call 839-2493 or e-mail kathy2bears@gmail.com.
St Mary's Hospital Grangeville Medical Clinic is hosting a barbecue a few weeks from now on Sept. 15, inviting all area patients and their families, and they hope White Bird residents will be able to join the fun. This will be a chance to see the new facilities, and meet some of the staff. More details about time, etc., will follow, but at least you can mark it on your calendars now.
Happy birthday greetings to J.R. Farmer, Trevor Eller, Gloria Teats, Mardell Kubitza, Joe Lindsey, Janet Parr, Michele Smith, Brenda Heckman, Chris Alley, Kevin Blair and Sharon Pakkala.
