 SIP ‘N SWAP
7B Women, Inc. holds benefit for Priest River Ministries Advocates for Women.

 The New Vaudeville
The Panida Theater was built in 1927 by F.C. Weskil for the sum of $70,000. The Spanish Mission-style structure was the first building in Sandpoint to be constructed completely of reinforced concrete.
Vaudeville has been deemed “Variety Entertainment,” the “Voice of the City” and “The Heart of American Show Business.” These variety shows enjoyed huge popularity for decades in North America. The “acts” included everything from one-act plays, comedians, musicians, singers, jugglers, magicians and burlesque dancers; even some short films. These multifaceted shows were a feast for the eyes and enlightenment for the souls of its audiences. Alas, all things have their time and by the 1910s the death-blow decline in vaudevillian shows came in the form of lower-priced cinema.
Many vaudeville performers traveled the circuits; a chain of allied vaudeville houses that contracted acts for regional and national tours. Our beautiful gem state still houses a few of these brilliant theatres. The Historic Wilson Theatre in Rupert, Idaho, The Egyptian Theatre in Boise and our beloved Panida Theater in Sandpoint, are all beautiful examples of the glory days of the variety show. |

 Alliance Brings Quality Health Care
Hospitals focus on collaboration to benefit communities.
It has been said that a little competition never hurt anyone. It pushes people to do their best and achieve great success. But for the hospitals in the five northern counties in Idaho, they have found success through collaboration, not competition.

Nestled at the base of the Selkirk Mountains in North Idaho's Panhandle region, the community of Sandpoint can be found 60 miles south of the Canadian border and 75 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington. With a population of approximately
7,000 residents, Sandpoint is located in a land of uncompromising natural beauty on the northern shore of Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced Pon-der-ray). |

A spectacular, glaciated body of
water 43 miles long, Pend Oreille is the fifth deepest lake (1,158 feet at its greatest depth) in the United States with 111 miles of shoreline. Its pristine waters are a major factor in the community of Sandpoint's high ranking as a premier tourist destination. |
