Close to the action: Twin sisters Gracie and Lily Wilcox, 5, get a front row seat Monday to watch Anne Fields perform a sword dance at the North Spokane Branch of the Spokane County Library on Hawthorne Road. Members of the Angus Scott Pipe Band and the Northwest Highland Dancers entertained 96 people for the hourlong demonstration of traditional dancing and bagpipes. The group will perform again today at 2 p.m. at the Airway Heights Branch and at the North Spokane Branch at 7 p.m. Spokane will host the United States Inter-Regional Highland Dance Championships starting Wednesday, including the Lilac City Open Championships in Riverfront Park’s Lilac Bowl on Sunday at 9 a.m. (Dan Pelle)
