ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC OPTIONS KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR
Jason Moody and his Selway Trio at the Historic Panida Theater on Thursday, June 13, at 7:30 p.m., with proceeds to benefit the Festival’s Summer Youth Music Camp.
(Photo courtesy JASON DUCHOW PHOTOGRAPHY) Riders compete in a past CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo bicycling event. As rider interest and national press attention both build momentum, the organizers have branched out from the historical 30-, 80- and 150-mile CHAFE rides to include new routes for 2019.
SANDPOINT — Bicycle races, classical music concerts, theatre and tons of live music all over town on tap this week.
Two big events are the CHAFE Gran Fondo – there’s lots happening around this event — and for music lovers, a don’t miss concert takes place tonight as the Selway Trio plays the Panida Theater in a very special performance to benefit the Festival at Sandpoint Summer Music Camp.
Peruse at your leisure and go find some pleasure.
