The sweet sound of accordions will fill the air in Wallace this weekend

You might get some strange looks when you explain to colleagues that you're headed to Wallace, Idaho this weekend for the first ever Accordion Festival at the center of the universe. The weekend will be filled with parades, workshops performances and dancing! You could learn the polka and be that couple that dances the polka at a wedding.

In college, my roommate's mother was aghast that I and two of our other friends had never had huckleberries. She said "How could you girls not have had huckleberries? You grew up at the foothills of the Cascades".

I love that quote. It's ten years later and I still remember it. We all grew up in Western Washington, which apparently meant to this Missouri mother that we should have all been raised on huckleberries.
