There's been no time to sulk at Settlers Creek after last week's fire wiped out the historic barn of the wedding and event venue.

Staff, seen literally jogging on Monday between duties at the farmstead west of Coeur d'Alene off Up River Drive, is scurrying to host its largest wedding of the season this Saturday.

"The help and the dedication of the families to remain committed to coming here have been humbling," said owner Chris Varela, taking a quick break from preparing the dirt where the barn built in 1925 stood for a tent for the wedding reception.
