Every year, the first weekend in August, Coeur d’Alene has an awesome party downtown that they call “Art on the Green”. It’s actually three events going on simultaneously. “Art on the Green” is at North Idaho College in the park where they have live music and many, many artists that set up booths and try to sell their wares. There are some truly amazing people that have intensely creative minds. We saw metal sculpting, painting, photography, woodworking, and even a guy who makes fish out of bottle caps.
At the city park there is “Taste of Coeur d’Alene” where various food vendors set up shop. Finally, down the main street of Sherman Avenue there is a huge street fair that stretches 11-12 blocks or so. We only made it to “Art on the Green” this year – but we made the most of it! We met Neil, Kay, Kelly, Sara, and Bridger down at the park for dinner and to listen to the music.
This guy has been coming to Art on the Green for 14 years and builds a different sand sculpture each time. Mostly castles.
He was carving near where we ate dinner and was pretty impressive to watch. Kanyon especially thought it was cool.
We wandered around the park looking at all the booths and finished up by eating ice cream. 
It was a great evening with even better company!
