Sandpoint High School’s football team marched in the Lions Grand Parade on the Fourth of July, showing community spirit ahead of the upcoming season.
The Bulldogs will open their season against Twin Falls on August 21 at 7 p.m. at Memorial Field—less than seven weeks away from their parade appearance. The matchup marks the start of what coaches and players hope will be a competitive fall campaign.
The parade appearance underscores the team’s role in the broader Sandpoint community calendar. Summer events like the Fourth of July celebration provide a platform for local institutions, including schools and youth organizations, to connect with residents before the fall semester begins.
Bonner County residents looking for other community events this month may want to check out the Sandpoint Artists Open Garden Studio July 18, which raises funds for the Bonner County Food Bank, or learn more about other local initiatives supporting the region.
What Comes Next
The Bulldogs will continue preparations through the remainder of July and early August before facing Twin Falls. Fans interested in attending the season opener should plan to arrive at Memorial Field by game time on August 21.
