As the holiday season approaches, the distance between our village and a neighbor in need is shorter than most of us think. If you're looking for a way to give this year, two local organizations make it easy to keep your generosity close to home.
Holiday shopping season opens early — and locally — on Saturday, November 7, when the City of Post Falls hosts the 8th Annual Holiday Craft Fair from 9 AM to 3 PM. Admission is free, parking is free, and for Black Bay Village residents there's a special reason to go: one of the fair's two locations is Black Bay Depot, 1211 E. 3rd Avenue — right in our neighborhood.
There's nothing like a backyard fire on a crisp fall evening in Kootenai County. Before you light one, know the rules — Kootenai County Fire & Rescue spells them out, and they're simpler than most people expect.
The City of Post Falls is diving into an underwater adventure this Halloween. On Friday, October 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, City Hall at 408 N. Spokane Street welcomes families for Trick-or-Treat at Post Falls City Hall — a free, family-friendly afternoon of trick-or-treating, costumes, and Halloween fun built around an "Under the Sea" theme. Admission is free and costumes are encouraged, so come ready for treats and an underwater Halloween adventure.
Nestled between the rushing waters of the Spokane River and the towering pines of North Idaho, Black Bay Village is the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other — and much of that comes down to tradition. Throughout the year, the Black Bay Village Owners Association helps keep the village’s social calendar warm with seasonal gatherings that turn a neighborhood into a community.
