Bridge the Years and Ride the Wall bicycle
event will be based out of Cataldo this year. Celebrate the longest day of the year by participating in a non-competitive 13 mile bicycle ride via the historic CCC-Wall Ridge route, a picturesque road that winds along and above the Coeur d'Alene River. This year the course will be reversed. For the last 15 years, this event was hosted by Joe and Rose Mary Peak at their Enaville Resort, but with their passing, the event will now begin and end in their memory at the Mission Inn, 36179 East Canyon Road in Cataldo (Take I-90, Exit 40). As usual, the ride will conclude with a BBQ. Therefore, this year, the first part of the ride is 8 miles on a one-lane, gravel dirt road that is rigorously uphill for about a mile, and later sharply downhill to Enaville. Things calm down as the ride returns downstream to Cataldo beside the Coeur d'Alene River on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes.

![]() Thank you to the members of the Inland Empire Blues Society for voting our first Historic Wallace Blues Festival the Best Blues Event for 2012. As one observer said, "It was like winning Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year at the same time." We hope to stay worthy of such praise. So for our second Wallace Blues Festival, we did not want to disappoint. Instead of last year's fourteen performers, we will have TWENTY-ONE PERFORMERS downtown on six stages over three days for an outrageous Blues Festival that you will never forget! Here is a one page pdf performance line-up. Open this GoogleEarth based five-frame animation of downtown Wallace to see the six Friday, Saturday, and Sunday venues.

Wallace Holiday Open House 5:00 to 7:00 in downtown Wallace Merchants who want to participate are asked to give gift certificates for their business. As in years past, they can give one or more certificates, and the dollar amount is up to the merchant. An expiration date is recommended (by the end of this promotion or by the end of the year), but it's left to the merchant to determine how much they wish to give. How it works: Shoppers come in and get a card from the first business they visit, and that merchant stamps or signs one of the boxes on the card. Customers take the card around to participating merchants and have each one stamp or sign one box. There are 12 boxes so they need 12 different business stamps or signatures. They bring their completed cards to the Depot Museum for a drawing at 7:00 PM. Customers must be preasent to win. Grand Prize is $128 in Wallace Script. Wallace Script is in $1 and $5 denominations; no change is given. Merchants who receive script for purchases will be reimbursed with cash. |
