So Much To Do ~ So Little Time Things To Do On The Palouse By Cindy Ellis

Photo:Judith Ashworth

I have lived in the Palouse for most of my life. Born, raised, moved away several times, but always returned to my roots - the Palouse. I have heard others grumble about "nothing to do around here" more times than I care to mention. I'm here to tell you that there are tons of things to do on the Palouse if you know where to look. I initially tried to list events by date but found that to be extremely cumbersome because of the sheer volume! I hope this format is more user-friendly.
