This Week in Sandpoint

A cozy week in Sandpoint! With the holidays behind us, winter settles into a quieter pace around town, but there are still a couple of good reasons to get out this week as kids head back to school. On Fri, Jan. 9, the S.O.L.E. Backcountry Film Festival begins. This all-ages event features award-winning films celebrating human-powered winter adventure while supporting Selkirk Outdoor Leadership and Education's SnowSchool Experience Program. Then on Sat, Jan. 10, enjoy $5 Movie Night: Fantastic Mr. Fox. Part of the theater's Wes Anderson Series, the screening also includes a special art and fashion show featuring Sandpoint High School students, making it a fun and cozy way to wrap up the first full week back at school.
