  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Friday, February 28, 2025. We've got a packed day of events and news to share with you, so let's dive right in.

    First up, the Mardi Gras Mambo is taking over the Central Library in downtown Spokane today. This free event, organized by the North Central High School Music Boosters in partnership with the Spokane Public Library and KYRS radio, aims to raise funds for the school's band, orchestra, and choir students. It's a great opportunity to support local education while enjoying some festive fun.

    If you're in the mood for some theater, the best-loved musical of all time, Annie, opens tonight at the First Interstate Center for the Arts. The show runs through March 2, so you've got a few chances to catch this heartwarming tale of determination and hope.

    For those interested in local government, there's big news from Fish Lake. Spokane County has purchased the last portion of a rival private resort at Fish Lake, ending a long-standing feud that had resulted in multiple court battles. This acquisition marks a significant development in the area's recreational landscape.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday brings us the International Fly Fishing Festival. This event features stunning films showcasing the beauty and adventure of fly fishing destinations around the world. Don't miss out on the raffle prizes provided by Silver Bow Fly Shop.

    Sports fans, mark your calendars for June 21. The Spokane Sports Commission will be hosting the 2025 Spokane Youth Sports Awards, recognizing standout local athletes, coaches, and teams for their athletic achievements. It's Spokane's very own ESPY-style red carpet event.

    For music lovers, the Spokane Symphony is gearing up for their Masterworks 6 concert series titled "L.A. Stories." Conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg will make her Masterworks debut with Dvořák's spellbinding Seventh Symphony. The performance also features violinist Gabrielle Després with Korngold's Hollywood-inspired Violin Concerto.

    And here's a fun fact for history buffs: on this day in 1963, the first steps were taken towards what would eventually become the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. It's a reminder of the rich natural heritage we have in our region.

    Lastly, don't forget that Fat Tuesday is coming up on March 4. Why not test your knowledge with some Mardi Gras trivia to get in the spirit?
