The promotion will be valid at all four city golf courses, weekdays through Oct. 31.

Candlelighters event Sunday in Manito Park

The Candlelighters of the Inland Northwest will hold the annual candlelight vigil Sunday in Manito Park from 6 to 8 p.m.

The event will allow the community to come together, along with Mayor Mary Verner, to proclaim September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Candlelighters will have a Celebration of Life on Sept. 26 at from 5 to 11 p.m. at the Service Station, 9315 N. Nevada St.

The Celebration of Life was created when Stephanie and Andy Brown wanted to celebrate their daughter Sammy’s life after her first year of treatment for leukemia. The Brown’s turned their celebration into a fundraiser to support Candlelighters and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

The event will include live music and food. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $15 at the Service Station or by calling Candlelighters at 474-2759. Tickets at the door are $20.
