Wild Salmon Feast to help Family Promise

The seventh annual Wild Salmon Feast will take place Saturday, Feb. 14, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Coeur d'Alene.

The dinner and auction is a benefit for Family Promise of North Idaho, and features wild-caught salmon from the cold waters of Alaska.

Toe-tapping fiddle music by Gerry and Terry Fairchild will be the featured entertainment for the evening, which begins at 5:30 p.m.

The price of a dinner ticket is $30. A no-host beer/wine bar will be offered, as well as a dessert auction and silent and live auctions. Chicken is offered as alternate entree choice at the time of ticket purchase.

Proceeds from the Wild Salmon Feast will support the Family Promise of North Idaho, a nonprofit that offers shelter and transitioning programs for families in crisis due to homelessness.

Sponsors of the Wild Salmon Feast include three local Lutheran congregations: Trinity Lutheran Church in Coeur d'Alene, Lutheran Church of the Master in Coeur d'Alene and St. Mark's Lutheran Church of Hayden. Other major underwriters of the dinner include Coldwell Banker-Schneidmiller Realty (pledging $1,000 to purchase all of the salmon) and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (pledging a match of $1,000).
