Kellogg students play for Salvation Army at Walmart

Kellogg students play for Salvation Army at Walmart

Instead of the normal bell-ringing for the Salvation Army’s holiday red kettles, these young men were playing in front of the Smelterville Walmart on Sunday afternoon.

KXLY viewer, Debbie Marek, emailed us to give these guys a shout out for giving their time and talents. She even shot this photo of the guys.

They’re students at Kellogg High School. They’re all in a Kellogg-based band called White Chocolate. They describe themselves as alternative/funk/indie-rock on their band page at Reverbnation.

They don’t perform frequently due to the busy schedule of school, but they all participate in the school’s regular band and jazz band.

Boise student wins holiday card contest

The grand prize of Idaho’s holiday card contest goes to a Boise student. You-Jean Cho is this year's winner in the annual contest. Cho is a 5th grader at Jefferson Elementary School.

Her artwork will be featured on the State Department of Education’s holiday greeting cards - sent to schools and districts across the state.

Some local students have some mention as well. They were featured as the winners for their individual grade across Idaho. Winners ranged from Post Falls to Lewiston. Their artwork is unavailable at the moment for distribution, but a photo gallery will be available tomorrow.

Local Artists Make Fashion Out of Trash

Local Artists Make Fashion Out of Trash

For one night this month, North Idaho was too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan. The Idaho Panhandle got their share of eco-friendly attire on Friday, October 14th, during a sold-out fashion show. The runway photos are in.

Every year, Kootenai Environmental Alliance hosts Junk2Funk, a collection of runway fashion created from trash and recycled materials.

Local artists used a menagerie of materials including candy wrappers, paper bags and used bike tubes.

Photo Gallery: That might not sound like fashion, but take a look at the photos from the event and you’ll think otherwise.
