Arkansas students lend a hand

The New Day Fellowship church in Haugen that serves the area from St. Regis to the Idaho state line had some welcomed help last week. A group of 18, 13 youth and five sponsors, traveled two days on a bus from Springdale, Arkansas, to provide assistance and encouragement for New Day Fellowship, which was launched back in August under the leadership of Dr. Alan Damron and his wife, Sarah. The group, which came from the New Hope Fellowship church, came to help out with tasks around the church in Haugen as part of their summer mission trip.

Thompson Falls market features cinnamon roll challenge

They are gooey, sweet and spicy, often served with a pat of butter warmed enough for the icing to melt and the butter to drip down the sides. Served with a cup of piping hot coffee, a cinnamon roll is the epitome of the perfect breakfast. “Almost every weekend during the 2009 Thompson Falls Market season, someone featured cinnamon rolls at their booth. Whomever ventured into baking these tasty delights were always met by enthusiastic shoppers who scramble to buy them up before they were gone,” shares Katrina Wright, market coordinator. “So we’ve decided to celebrate the end of a great season, the incoming of fall and this wonderful baked good at the final day of the 2009 market.”
