About the event
We're hosting our annual Thanksgiving Dinner, open to the public, and it's free! We handle all the preparation and food services, but we need your help with the fixings! Last year, we served over 400 free meals to veterans, their families, and our community neighbors. We're doing it again on November 22! If you'd like to help us with the "fixings," here is what we need: Idahoan instant mashed potatoes, stove-top stuffing mix, baked pies, chicken/turkey broth, uncooked turkeys, gravy (jars or packets), cranberry sauce, and butter. Please drop them off anytime at the Post!

Coeur d'Alene Elf on the Shelf
Saturday, November 29, 2025 through December 21, 2025
Did you hear the great news? Santa is sending a team of “Scout Elves” to Downtown Coeur d’Alene! Presented by STCU, the Coeur d’Alene Scout Elves will land in town to start a fun holiday scavenger hunt on Saturday, November 29, and Santa has asked them to scout every day through December 21. Just like all elves, these ones are sneaky and hide out in cups of hot cocoa, cozy boutique sweaters, and other silly places! Keep your eyes peeled for one of the dozens of Coeur d’Alene Scout Elves hiding throughout the Downtown Corridor, and you could win prizes from Santa himself!
