You can get a great work out in with a certified personal trainer all for the price of a can of food. A local trainer is hosting bi-monthly runs in the park and only charges a food donation to Second Harvest.

Brian Krupke is a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and is a Level I Crossfit Coach. He started hosting the running club in Riverfront Park in order to promote the new gym, Inland Northwest Fitness, that he and a couple other trainers are opening. But Krupke didn't do it just to make some extra cash.

“I want it to be about than just making money,” says Krupke. Enter the fee: a can of food. Krupke decided that making a food donation would be a quick and great way to make an impact both with those who show up to train and with the larger Spokane community. As he puts it “everybody needs to eat”.

A mother-daughter team is about the bring the Victorian era back to Spokane's South Hill one cup of tea at a time. Silver Spoon Tea House plans on opening by the start of June and the historic setting will take you back to the time of white gloves and calling cards.

Sylvia Erickson bought the former home of Spokane business pioneer Levi Monroe in October and has been working with her daughter, Lara McHenry, to bring their dream of a tea house to life. The home is listed on the National Historical Registry and has been under renovation for the last few years.

“It was too perfect to pass up,” says Erickson. She explains that so many homes from that time period have been divided into apartments and commercial spaces. This house was perfect for High Tea.

Race for the Cure runners will be greeted by something new at the finish line this year. A bright pink tractor. Northwest Farm Credit Services have been working with volunteers and donors from across the North Idaho and Eastern Washington region to get the tractor ready in time for its race day debut.

Northwest FCS is the finish line sponsor at this year's Race for the Cure and they wanted something big to greet finishers. Jennifer Rohrer, the Public Relations Communications Coordinator, saw a picture of a pink tractor online and thought it would be a great way to represent the communities that they serve.
