After a vigorous campaign, Jim Walcker became the
2010 Huckleberry Sheriff
by collecting the most donations to a community fund. His dog KC is
obviously the new Huckleberry Hound.
The 1910 Fire Commemoration in Wallace on August 19 - 21, 2010,
memorialized the 86 lives lost fighting the Great 1910 Fire and recognized the
valor of those who fight fires today. Dedication of a monument at the Wallace
Visitors Center was preceeded by a parade and procession through town.
Beginning a week before the Commemoration, the Spokesman Review, Spokane, WA,
ran a series of detailed stories about the Fire of 1910. The following
date links are to printer friendly versions of these stories.
