Westside Rendezvous 2008 Planning Mtg Notes
Westside Rendezvous Continues
May 14 Plummer, ID The 2007 summer weekend festival was such a success that plans have been made to establish an annual event for the Westside communities of Desmet, Tensed, Plummer and Worley. Last year’s event grew out of the Horizon’s project and one of the resulting projects, the Community Pride Committee.
The 2008 Westside Rendezvous has had several planning meetings already. Kathy Kolar said, “T his year there is more time for planning. We started earlier and have the later parade date of August 9. Community members will again be helping the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Wellness Center finish off Rock’n’ the Rez day camp with a one-day carnival. There will also be two dances over the weekend, Four On The Floor Friday night at a farm outside of Tensed and Rampage on Saturday night in Plummer.”
Plummer Senior Citizens, Lakeside Booster Club and the FAA will have fundraiser feeds and Plummer Action Committee will host a potluck picnic welcoming Lakeside graduates back to reunions.
The Native Village in Worley was a big success last year. The teepee and native crafts will again be on display. Stick game was demonstrated and very popular as many local residents had never seen this native game. This year more people are being asked to display and to discuss their homestead and early settlement memorabilia.
Some of the other activities include Car Show, Fishing Derby, Mini Fair, kids games, parade, silent auction, raffles and a Sunday Singspiration with specials from various local church groups.
The 2008 Westside Rendezvous will be Aug. 8, 9 and 10 with activities staged in the Desmet-Tensed area, Plummer and Worley. For parade applications contact Kathy at 686-1366.
