A plan has been announced that will enable people to sail to the North Pole from Coeur d’Alene.
The University of Idaho Office of Alumni Relations is inviting everyone to accompany the “Vandal Family” to cruise Lake Coeur d’Alene, which includes a stop at the North Pole and an event photo. The cruise lasts for one hour and is filled with festivities, fun, and twinkling lights. Hot cocoa and holiday cookies are complimentary, and perfect for enjoying while watching the lights on the shore. Anyone who gets cold is welcome to buy their favorite drink at a no-host bar and meet Joe the Elf.
The cruise includes a stop at a floating version of the North Pole, which Santa apparently creates especially for evenings like this. The Jolly Old Elf will greet every child by name before the cruise returns to the resort. Events like this benefit when organizers use poster printing to create cheerful advertising for them.
The Coeur d’Alene Resort is the starting point for the cruise. It is located at 115 South 2nd Street in Coeur d’Alene, and the event runs from 5.30 pm until 7.30 pm on December 3. Participants will be able to board at 5.30 pm, and organizers are urging people to arrive early to leave time to check in. Tickets are $30 per person, with toddlers two and under sailing free. Parents should send their children’s names in so Santa knows who to say hello to.
