Honor Point is a Neighbor Day co-host and will have displays from our collection for you to enjoy. The B-25's visit is of special interest because of its new connection to Honor Point. Former 141st Washington Air National Guard Refueling Wing Commander and current Honor Point board member Col. Greg Bulkley, Ret. is getting his rating for 'Grumpy' and helped ferry the aircraft from its home base at Paine Field in Everett to Felts Monday afternoon.

Kevin Cole Piano and Vocal Concert at CdA's Kroc Center




From Carnegie Hall to Coeur d'Alene: Internationally acclaimed pianist and vocalist Kevin Cole, who has delighted audiences with a repertoire that includes the best of 20th Century American Music.

His performances, especially his interpretation of Gershwin, have prompted accolades from some of the foremost critics in American music. "When Cole sits down at the piano, you would swear Gershwin himself was at work. Cole stands as the best Gershwin pianist in America today," wrote Howard Reich, arts critic for the Chicago Tribune.

It is rare opportunity to see someone of Kevin's caliber perform in a small venue such as the Kroc Center as in the past he has filled the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and Royal Albert Hall. As a matter of fact, he played Carnegie Hall on May 7th and on June 3rd, he will play in New York again for the Marv Hamlisch tribute sharing a stage with Bernadette Peters, Lucie Arnaz, Michael Douglas, Indina Menzel and more.

This is NOT your typical piano concert as Kevin is a vocalist as well (trained by Judy Garland's vocal coach Hugh Martin). Kevin tells background stories for each piece...he is witty and engaging and a fabulous all around entertainer.

Enjoy this wonderful performance, Friday, June 14, 7:30 pm at the Kroc Center, 1765 W. Golf Course Rd., Coeur d'Alene. Prices: $25 adults, $15 students or $75 for limited onstage seating (includes and autographed CD and invite to meet and greet after the show). For tickets and information call 208-391-2867 or go to lauralittletheatricals.com.

Gay Waldman 'Why We Live Here' to be dedicated at the Convention Center - June 11

The Spokane Convention Center is home to a new mural entitled, 'Why We Live Here,' by Gay Waldman.

A dedication ceremony for this work of art will be held on Tuesday, June 11 at 11am at the Spokane Convention Center in the Ballroom Lobby.

This work of art consists of four ten-foot-by-ten-foot, dye-infused aluminum photo panel collages installed over a painted abstract band of color. This work invites reflection of the nature and the seasons of the Spokane River landscape. The Spokane River is depicted by a ribbon of painted color on the wall behind the four photo-collages which depict the seasons through images of nature - lilacs, fall leaves, winter frost, and river rocks.

Waldman has exhibited widely in Spokane and the region, including a gallery exhibition at the Chase Gallery, and numerous festivals including Artfest, Art on the Green, Inland Craft Warnings, Yuletide, Best of the Northwest, Bellevue's Art Fair, and Boise's Art in the Park. Why We Live Here joins the growing family of art works acquired by the Spokane Public Facilities District to enhance the guest experience.
