Post Falls Days begins Friday
Big Wheel races, a Beatles cover band, a fishing derby, carnival and a parade are planned for this weekend’s Post Falls Days celebration.
The town’s annual three-day party begins Friday and continues through Sunday evening at Q’emiln Park.
A full slate of events is planned with more than a dozen music acts and a magic show scheduled, along with a benefit dance set for Saturday night to raise money for Specialized Needs Recreation, a nonprofit that provides activities for developmentally disabled youth and teens.
