Water saving presentation is planned today

DALTON GARDENS - A Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour will explain how to reduce water use.

Learn how to reduce your use at a presentation from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today at Consolidated Supply Co., 155 E. Dalton Ave., in Dalton Gardens.

Donations sought for rummage sale to help family

Donations are now being collected for a rummage sale to benefit a Kootenai County 4-year-old with cancer.

Kaylee Bennett, who celebrated her birthday on Thursday and recently got to be Cinderella for a day through the Wishing Star Foundation, has been treated for neuroblastoma since she was diagnosed at a month old.

"We're trying to pay off some more medical bills," said her mother, Sara Bennett.

Any materials are welcome for the sale, she said. She requests folks contact her at 818-4686 to arrange drop-offs.

The event itself is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekend of Oct. 7-9, at 3139 North Alfalfa Loop in Post Falls.

"There's going to be a lot of stuff," Bennett promised. "We have quite a few pieces of furniture already."
