The Grail to host NIC dancers

The North Idaho College Cardinal Dancers will perform Saturday night at The Grail in Huetter.

"Rock the Lockers" will begin at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7. The dancers are headed to Moscow in mid-March for a conference, and the show will raise funds for the trip.

Two bands and a DJ will also perform.

The night's theme is school cliques - the audience is encouraged to come dressed as a nerd, jock, etc.

Fifth annual Tubin' in Tutus is today

Silver Valley pet lovers in full costume will flock to the base of Silver Mountain and board the gondola to participate in the fifth annual Tubin' in Tutus today.

"It's the most outrageous party of the year," said John Williams, marketing director of Silver Mountain Resort. "It's a good time and it's for a good cause."

The event is to raise money for the Shoshone County Pet Rescue.

Tickets, which can be purchased in advance at the Silver Mountain ticket windows or online at www.silvermt.com, are $30 for adults and $15 for children. The fee includes a wine and martini bar at the top of the mountain, hors d'oeuvres, hot chocolate for children, lift tickets and rental tubes.

The tubing takes place from 4:30-7:30 p.m.
