After months of shooting and editing a local filmmaker is ready to premiere her latest movie, The Merry Graingers.

The movie, produced and directed by Serena Belsby, is about a feuding family finding peace in the midst of tragedy.

The world premiere of the movie is set for tonight at 7 pm at the Bing Crosby Theater at 901 W Sprague. 

Staying true to the roots of the film, a hay carpet will take the place of the traditional red carpet.

Tickets are $13. For more information check out the official movie website.

Each fall Sandpoint and the surrounding hillsides burn with the beauty of the changing fall colors. People breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the fleeting scenery.

On Saturday, October 20th, some of the temporary beauty was provided by the Gem State Chapter of the Hudson, Essex & Terraplane car club.

“My dad brought me home from the hospital in one and I’ve had one ever since,” said Charlie Nau, sitting in the front seat of his 1957 Hudson Hornet.

He drove from Missoula, Montana along with his club-mates Greg Maroney and Kathy Burrington of Kalispel, Montana, to Sandpoint for the seventh and final meeting of the year for the club.

Eight of the historic cars made the trip this year. A forecast of rain and possibly snow kept many of the 128 members away.

“Can you imagine driving a 1937 Terraplane all the way from Kalispell in a snow storm?” asked Kathy Burrington while sitting comfortably in the passenger’s seat of Nau’s Hudson.

Maroney would have been happy to drive the Terraplane from Kalispel, but, sometimes, it’s just best to sit back and enjoy the ride of a friend’s car.

No-Li Brewhouse is making a big impression at one of the largest and most prestigious beer festivals in the country.

On Saturday, the craft brewery received a gold medal for its Crystal Bitter beer at the Great American Beer Fest in Colorado.

This makes three medals for the brewery in the past month.

Last week, No-Li received a silver and gold medal in the most prestigious beer competition in the world.
