The best New Year's Eve party is held in Downtown Spokane…read more Since 2001, more than 100,000 people have attended First Night Spokane, making it the biggest and best New Year's Celebration in the Inland Northwest. First Night features a combination of visual and performing arts and takes over downtown businesses, event centers and streets. There's a party going on and the whole family is invited. So bundle up and join the fun. The experience of First Night is up to you to customize as there's so much going on that you can't do it all. But here's what to expect. *The biggest New Year's party EVER. A festival of the Arts. *One of the best fireworks shows of the year in Riverfront Park. *So many choices. You can see chainsaw ice carving and then Irish dancing. You can listen to African drumming, rock and roll, the Spokane Symphony, and Big Band Swing all in one night. *Take in the Children's parade, watch street performers and the popular snowboard rail jam in Riverfront Park. If you get cold there's plenty going on inside and you can always warm up by the bonfire with a hot cocoa or a latte. There is more entertainment than you can possibly take in. Each adult will need a First Night button, which runs $12 when purchased in advance. There are a number of locations where you can get buttons in advance or they will have them for sale downtown New Year's Eve. Go to www.firstnightspokane.org for locations to purchase buttons and a detailed schedule to plan your night. Kids 10 and under accompanied by a button wearing adult are free. On New Year's Eve, just dress warm, pin on your button, and come join the party. Several downtown hotels have First Night packages available.

Really enjoyed this course and its variety. Very well taken care of and beautiful. The food options…read morewere great too. Went with some friends who are members and had a great time. I'm somewhat of a beginner and it's a little intimidating as some people can be not very friendly. I'm pretty decent and felt a little rushed and judged. But over all it was a great experience and I'm glad I had the chance to golf.

FINALLY got a chance to check out Fruitland Valley Vineyard and Winery. We live just 20 minutes…read moreaway yet, in the six years we've been here,.... They were having a local event and opened their tasting room, and kitchen, for visitors. The inside of the tasting room is spacious, well lit and decorated with their medal-winning wines on display along one wall. We chose to, each, try a flight of wines; they have quite the selection to choose from. All of the wines we tried were well balanced and flavorful. I especially liked the Merlot, Cab and Orange Moscato. Malbec was another standout. With the purchase of a flight, you can deduct from a bottle you decide to buy later. We took advantage of that. We also ordered the 1/3 lb Angus beef burgers they make there. They have other menu options including a charcuterie, salads and flatbread pizzas. The burgers arrived in good time (we were really enjoying the wines). The brioche bun was super fresh and the charbroiled burger was very flavorful with crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions. All-in-all, a good burger. The folks at this winery are all very friendly and helpful. Prices are on par with other Washington boutique wineries. We came away with a couple bottles to enjoy later. And we'll certainly be back - won't wait so long next time.

One of the beautiful things about smaller galleries like this one is that you really get to spend time with each piece. It forces you to slow down and appreciate what's being presented. We went in expecting to stay for 15 minutes and ended up staying for over an hour. This is a great addition to the community and I would highly reccommend stopping in and supporting this local art community.

Since we are not big gamblers we can't tell you if the slots are loose, right or whatever. We wanted to check out the inside and get a taste. They asked that we not take indoor photos for the article. The casino sits between Dotty's and Bourbon Street Sports bar in Eagle Station. Much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Many of your favourite games are here as well as great alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They are open 24 hours for your gambling pleasure. We've dealt with two attendants and they are both super friendly and they make some really rare drinks. Might be worth checking out? 04/21
