The buzz in Bonner County! This week of events rolls out Thurs, Sept. 11, with a Fall Mushroom Class led by naturalist Ed Buzbee, followed that evening by the season finale of the Sandpoint Summer Music Series featuring Seattle-based funk band Biddadat. From Fri through Sun Sept. 12–14, the Panhandle Overland Rally brings outdoor enthusiasts together for camping, workshops, vendors, and live music in the mountains. Sat, Sept. 13, is packed with community celebrations including Ponderay Neighbor Day with games, rides, food, and live music, and Let's Vike It: A Viking Age Faire in Oldtown, offering reenactments, crafts, combat displays, and Viking-inspired fun. Also on Sat, Dogsmile Adventures hosts its first Sail-A-Palooza Fundraiser with music, auctions, and a sailboat raffle, and the 2nd Annual Deep Roots Songwriter Showcase at the Hive highlights local talent with an evening of original performances.
