Kerri Thoreson/OnLocation North Idaho

I didn't see Kerri Thoreson/OnLocation North Idaho at Laffin Bones performance at Riverstone Park Thursday night. But she obviously was there. I've enjoyed two of these Thursday night concerts so far. There's three to go. They last from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The setting is gorgeous. But you have to watch out for the goose poop. Click here.
