The Festival at Sandpoint announced the line up for this year's annual summer concert series and it doesn't disappoint. 

The 31st season kicks off on August 1st with a show by Grammy ward-winning folk duo the Indigo Girls. The folk theme continues in later shows with Rosanne Cash and the Avett Brothers. Cake and The Steve Miller band will take the stage as well this year. With the exception of Cake, all the shows feature up and coming opening acts.

The Family Concert will be performed by the Spokane Youth Orchestra and Sandpoint's Studio One Dancers. "An Invitation to Dance" will feature ballet selections including a performance of "Sleeping Beauty". At only $6 a ticket it will be a great event for the kids with pre-concert activities like the Instrumental Petting Zoo as well as an actual petting zoo.

The Spokane Symphony will headline the grand finale concert on August 11th. The performance will feature pianist Fransisco Renno and hometown violinist, Jason Moody. A fireworks finale will close the annual festival. 

Kootenai Community Church has been fundrasing and slowly building a new location for 12 years. They are in the home stretch, and to raise money for the finishing costs, one community member has volunteered to shave his Sampson-like locks.

You may have met Ed Barba either working for Waste Management or working with Awana kids. In the last 20 years Barba has only cut his long hair twice, and the last time he went bald was as a child. When Bonnie Mauck asked if he'd be willing to face the razor he jumped on board.

“You know why not? For a good cause my hair will grow back...hopefully,” says Barba. Mauck and the Kootenai Community Church are hoping to raise $5,000 in pledges for Barba's hair, but he says he'll give it a shave no matter what.

On Saturday, April 27th, police departments across the region will be hosting drug collections as part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's fifth National Drug Take Back Day.

The DEA has collected over 1,000 tons of unused and expired prescription drugs over the last three years. The take back day was started to get the public more involved in the prevention of prescription drug abuse.

Unused prescription drugs in homes are considered a public health and safety concern by the DEA. According to the DEA this is because the drugs are “highly susceptible to accidental ingestion, diversion, misuse and abuse”.

A survey done by the DEA found that the majority of abuses get their prescription drugs through friends and family. Often times it's as simple as raiding the medicine cabinet. Americans currently abuse more prescription drugs than those using cocaine, hallucinogens and heroin combined.
