HBO’s Best of the Local Blogs — 7/25/07
Kerri Thoreson/OnLocation North Idaho
In her most recent OnLocation North Idaho post, Kerri Thoreson tells of the annual Julyamsh event that will take place at the Greyhound Park this weekend here.
Frank Sennett/Hard 7, Blogspotter writes: "I'll be blogging for theMuscular Dystrophy Association starting at 6 a.m. July 28 and ending 6 a.m. July 29. A total of 98 posts, split between the Blogspotter and Hard 7 blogs, with no pre-writing entries before the event. I'm looking for pledges right now--so if your readers are interested, even $5 would be great. The money goes directly to charity. After folks sign up at the Blogathon site and pledge for one or both of the blogs, they'll get an email after the event telling them I made it (if I do) and directing them to complete their donation at the MDA site."
