SHOOTING -- History buffs and shooters will step back in time at the 19th annual Coeur d’Alene Muzzleloading Arms & Historical Crafts Show set for Feb. 14-15 at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds.
The event will focus on firearms, clothing and essentials geared to the beaver trade era (1800 to 1840) when Lewis and Clark explored the Pacific Northwest. Gear will be available for show and sale.
The Hog Heaven Muzzleloaders, from the Troy, Idaho, area will share insights on the Lewis Clark Expedition.
