Bonners Ferry, ID

If the ghost of Edwin Bonner could hover above the little city named after him for a fortnight, the sight of it emerging from the shadows of its logging past as a work in progress would give the good ghost a mighty startle.

Boasting an Italian bistro, a dynamic art gallery, chic clothing and gift boutiques flourishing on a Main Street that only a few years ago crackled with vacant storefronts, it’s hardly your father’s timber town anymore. For complete article click here

On behalf of the Horizons Project in Bonners Ferry I would like to cordially invite you to attend Talk & Tacos. This event is designed to bring the media resources for Boundary County together with the Horizons Project. Fourteen northern Idaho communities are participating in the Horizons program, a long-term partnership between the University of Idaho and the Minnesota-based Northwest Area Foundation. The Horizons program is designed to empower citizens to make rural Idaho a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. One specific goal of the Bonners Ferry Horizons Project is to help foster open communication within our community. The focus of this event is to identify what resources and tools are available in Bonners Ferry as well as look at creative ways to communicate activities and events. We are asking that at least one representative attend this enlightening evening.
