The Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and Coeur d’Alene Firefighters IAFF Local 710 invite the community to join them for their annual free Photos with Santa, which is moving downtown this year! From 10am to 2pm on Saturday, December 7, stop by the downtown Coeur d’Alene STCU branch location, where families can enjoy free photos with Santa, coloring sheets, warm drinks, and a vintage fire truck. In addition, they are partnering with the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association to collect canned goods for their food drive, so be sure to bring an item (or items) and help spread some Christmas cheer. Additional details can be found on Facebook.



My name is Jillian, and I have been an editor and writer here in Coeur d’Alene since 2006, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to work for nine publications across North Idaho, into Spokane and as far as Gig Harbor, Washington. I am grateful to have the opportunity to now focus all my attention, energy and passion on my local community, finding and sharing heartfelt stories, spotlighting the incredible people, showcasing local businesses, organizations and nonprofits, and of course highlighting the many wonderful events our area has to offer.
