This 1947 Ford owned by Craig Tieubman honors the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. Notorious for being the greatest amphibious invasion the world had yet witnessed, the landing of Allied Forces on the beaches of Normandy turned the tides of World War II. Western Europe was finally liberated from Nazi Germany almost a year later, on May 7, 1945.
Nick McLendan displayed his 1972 Chevy Malibu at the Four Seasons Resort Sept. 12. The Malibu was the luxury version of the Chevelle, before becoming its own model line in 1978.

The second owner of this King of the Road, Picicci purchased it in 1980 from a woman it Montana who received it new as a high school graduation gift. "It's pretty much all original," Picicci said. This 52-year-old beauty has just 97,000 miles on it.
SPRAGUE - The annual Sprague Days events were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, but community members and visitors carried on with events throughout the day, including a contest hosted by Spokane Disk Dogs in town. A Cruise the Lake Car and Bike Show at Four Seasons Resort featured music by Spokane DJ Scott Baker, a jumpy house for kids and several vendors.
The Sprague Chamber of Commerce held their annual raffle in the late afternoon, which brought in $2,054.
"It was a great success," said Chamber President Joy Wilken. "Our goal was $1500, after we made $1200 last year."
Wilken said area businesses - including small, home-based businesses, donated generously enough that 59 prizes were given out.
"A few things happened that were really amazing," said Loi Lutes, who helped organize the raffle. "We had several people buying tickets, but putting other people's names on the tickets without telling them. So then when the people won, they were really surprised and very appreciative."
Lutes said two people who won prizes said they were passing them on to the local postmistress, who lost her house in the Malden fire.
"I'm appreciative of so many people's help with this project. The best thank-you they can give me, is to shop at the businesses that supported us and let them know their donation to our raffle made a difference," Lutes said.
