Dear Editor,
We at Northside Fire District want to send a shout out of thanks and gratitude to Ernie Brandt of Wildwood Grilling for thinking of our staff and much-appreciated volunteers when they were choosing who to sponsor this year for Sandpoint Festival tickets.
Your kindness and thoughtfulness to all of us here at Northside Fire is very much appreciated. Thank you for allowing our staff and volunteers to enjoy the wonderful sounds of music that will sound in the streets of downtown Sandpoint this summer.
“…the greatest gift a man can give, is to lay his life upon the line, so that someone else might live. So as we go from day to day, and pray to God above, say a prayer for your local fireman. He may save the ones you love.” ~Author Unknown
“We’re honored to get these tickets into the hands of these hard-working volunteers,” said Wildwood Grilling owner Ernie Brandt.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
