Aug 5    Author Night! William Matson with Floyd Clown and Doug War Eagle of the Crazy Horse family
Join us to meet author William Matson and Floyd Clown and Doug War Eagle of the Crazy Horse family and hear them talk about the book Crazy Horse - The Lakota Warrior's Life & Legacy.

The Edward Clown family, nearest living relatives to the Lakota war leader, presents the family tales and memories told to them about their famous grandfather. In many ways the oral history differs from what has become the standard and widely accepted biography of Crazy Horse. The family clarifies the inaccuracies and shares their story about the past, including what it means to them to be Lakota, the family genealogy, the life of Crazy Horse and his motivations, his death, and why they chose to keep quiet with their knowledge for so long before finally deciding to tell the truth as they know it.

Aug 12    Coeur d'Alene Triathlon 2017




The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon and Duathlon has been one of the most scenic races in the Northwest since 1984, hence the nickname, "The Scenic Challenge." This year marks the 34th anniversary of the race which will be held Saturday, August 12, 2017

The Sprint Distance Triathlon that was recently added was a huge success! We're going to keep it, and as before, it will take off right after the Olympic race begins. The Sprint consists of a 500-yard swim, a 13-mile bike ride, and a 3.1-mile (5K) run. The sprint course will have women and men-specific wave starts to give novice triathletes a sense of confidence and safety.

The traditional Olympic distance (1.5K swim) and the Sprint distance (500 yards swim) both take place at Independence Point on Lake Coeur d'Alene. All the bike courses follow Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive. For Olympic distance triathlon riders and Duathlon riders going the full 40K, the race leads to Mullan Trail Road for a challenging uphill course.

The course ends at the finish line in Coeur d'Alene City Park at the Triathlon Village adjacent to Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Date: August 12, 2017
Time: 7:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Location: Coeur d'Alene City Park and the surrounding area!
