Cd'A experience thrills celebrity

Among the many visitors to Coeur d'Alene over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was a well-known actor with some local ties. Here's his letter:

My family and I had a wonderful time visiting Coeur d'Alene! So beautiful with the holiday lights and gorgeous scenery - the dedication to the Christmas Spirit makes the city truly unique! The Coeur d'Alene Resort was the ideal place to stay. We were shown such hospitality and kindness there that made our visit that much better. Plus each one of our rooms had an amazing view!

Of course we were very excited to see "I Remember Christmas" on its opening night. The stories shared by Ellen and friends were heartwarming and took me back to the Christmases of my youth. It was a joy to watch these excellent performers work with one another on stage. They truly brought these memories to life.
