Summer Guide Coming Up; Help Us Out

Sun., April 2, 2000

Summer may be synonymous with catching some rays, but in between clocking beach time and sipping margaritas on the deck, there’s an astonishing array of options that qualify as fun.

We’re busy putting together a guide to summer fun in the Inland Northwest, ranging from rodeos to small-town fairs, from concerts in the park to sunset cruises. If you are involved in organizing an event this summer, we need your information.

To qualify for listing, the event must be open to the general public and be held between May 26 and Labor Day. To get your event in our guide to summer fun, send us the name of the event, the dates and times it will be held, the location, the admission or ticket price and a few details about the lineup of activities. Also include the name and phone number we can contact for further details, if needed.

Send your information to Weekend Summer Fun, Features Department, The Spokesman-Review, 999 W. Riverside Ave., Spokane, WA 99201; fax it to (509) 459-5098, or e-mail it to susane@spokesman.com. Deadline for getting info to us is May 22; the summer fun guide will be published in the Weekend entertainment section on May 26.
