Potlatch Community Days

This year "It Just Isn't Home Without Family & Friends"!

On July 20-22, 2018, the Lions Club will host the annual Potlatch Community Days at Scenic 6 Park.

Events for Friday, July 20, 2018, include:
  • Music in the Park: There will be a free concert at Scenic 6 Park starting at 7pm. Plan to bring your lawn chairs and get ready for an evening of musical entertainment featuring Blue Highway! The Lions Cook Shack will be open and there will also be a beer garden, catered by Codi Jo's Wagon Wheel.
  • Beer Fun Run: This is the third annual Beer Fun Run event. The event will start at Codi Jo's Wagon Wheel at 6 pm. If you've never participated in a Beer Fun Run this is how it works: You will chug a beer to start and make a 0.25 mile loop and chug another beer to continue. You will complete the race by finishing one more beer. That's 5 beers total to finish the mile. There is also a root beer option available! Registration is $30. Contact Nancy's Fitness for more information (208-668-1984).
  • Don't miss out on the 4th annual Scavenger Hunt. This is an adventurous and fun event to do with a few awesome friends. Register with teams of 3 for $60. Travel by foot around town to find clues that will lead you to different businesses and locations in Potlatch. This is a family friendly event! Contact Nancy's Fitness for more information (208-668-1984).

Events for Saturday, July 21, 2018, include: (Check back often as we update this list!)
