Good morning, Coeur d'Alene.

The City of Coeur d'Alene will host its 9th annual Free Compost Weekend on April 11-12 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 3500 Julia St., where residents can pick up free compost for spring gardening; attendees must bring their own shovels + buckets and vehicles for transport.

Eli Young Band will perform Monday at the First Interstate Center for the Arts in Coeur d'Alene; tickets start at $30 and are available through TicketsWest.

Coeur d'Alene residents can help shape their county’s future as Kootenai County invites participation in an online survey for its twenty-year Comprehensive Plan and first Parks & Waterways Plan.

The survey went live Tuesday, Apr. 7 and further public events will follow through April 2027.

A local chef is sharing a community cookbook that brings a Mardi Gras twist to post-Lent meals with a selection of easy recipes including Quick Cajun Sausage Cassoulet, Skinny Gumbo & Cajun-Flavored Rice.
