A little history for your Monday morning! ☀️
By Robert Singletary:
“In 1902, Frederick Blackwell, a wealthy lumberman from Williamsport, Penn., came to Coeur d’Alene to invest in the emerging timber industry. In addition to developing one of the largest timber empires in northern Idaho, he became involved in railroad building, banking, tourism and recreation. In 1905, he constructed one of the most attractive parks in the Inland Northwest near downtown Coeur d'Alene. The new park, which was first named Blackwell Park and later became the Coeur d'Alene City Park, extended over 20 landscaped acres along the waterfront. In addition, a dance pavilion, bath house and grandstand were constructed on the park grounds, along with graveled walkways, flowers and a variety of shade trees. Rec-1-21”

If you haven’t found this gem yet (pun intended), here’s your sign to go check it out! MANNA is a working studio + retail shop, constructed by husband and wife duo, Zak and Whitney Shelhamer. Whitney is a fine jewelry designer, goldsmith and creator of Manna, while Zak is an award winning commercial/documentary film director and marketing strategist. Whitney, Zak and their newest little addition, Marigold, have been getting settled the past month and you won’t believe the beauty they have added to their new space and to downtown! 💎 💍

🤩 Flags & Flowers are going up in just 60 days!
The Flags & Flowers program relies purely on donations which help support the program by providing the ability to purchase, water and maintain the flags and flowers. The flower baskets are tended to 7 days a week for 4 months by the Downtown Association’s Maintenance Team. From install to take down, the Downtown Flags & Flowers Program costs approximately $20,000 per year! 🇺🇸🌷
To help support the program, donations can be made online at cdaowntown.com/flower-baskets. Any size donations are appreciated! ✨#downtowncda
This little park that sits right on downtown’s main street is about to get a makeover. ✨ Soon to be formally known as Rotary Centennial Park, we can’t wait to see this special spot become accessible to all, and be a central gathering place in between shopping, dining and playing downtown! 📍

We often hear the phrase “shop local” but what does that really mean? 📍
🎁 Buying local is much more than shopping at a local business, it is about keeping jobs in our community, supporting one another and building a vibrant community! ✨ Buying local is purchasing something from a business owned by a member of the community. These business owners are raising (or have raised) their families and investing in our community’s future. They support fundraisers for schools and organizations and are committed to the betterment of YOUR community. 📍
💰 Oftentimes buying local is equated with paying higher prices and in some instances that is the case, but not always! We challenge you to shift your mindset ➡️ and see the bigger picture this holiday season. When you shop local, you are helping your local economy, you are giving back to your community and most importantly supporting your fellow neighbor. 👩🏼🤝👨🏽
🔵Shop small on Small Business Saturday, November 27 and all Season long! 🔵
