CdA Wins Mayor-v-Mayor Contest

The Salvation Army Kroc Center still hasn’t posted final totals in the mayor-vs-mayor bell-ringing contest between Coeur d’Alene and Spokane. But it appears as though Coeur d’Alene Mayor Sandi Bloem & Co. has won the day. By midafternoon Saturday, Bloem & Co. had raised about $5000 — or an equivalent among at the Fred Meyer location to what all bell ringers raise in a given day. Spokane Mayor Mary Verner had raised just under $600 during the same 7-hour time span. The little girl above who was ringing a bell with her brother helped depost change delivered in a plastic baggie by a man who also had folding money. Blush Response report here.
