KXLY 4's annual Coat 4 Kids Drive will kick-off this Sunday, September 16, at the Spokane County Interstate Fair.  If you bring a new or gently-used coat to one of the fairground gates on Sunday, you will receive a free child's admission.  The free child admission tickets are good for children age 13 and under.

How fast can you pull a 727 aircraft on your own? Not very far. It takes a team and that was evident Saturday afternoon as the Spokane County Regulators pulled a FedEx plane 12 feet to victory in 6.59 seconds.

It’s easy to spot the team’s captain, Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich. His jersey number from college carried over to the charitable football team who often support organizations like Wounded Warriors. The mutt team of strong men left no slack in the rope at Spokane International Airport's tarmac leaving other teams in the dust.

Why would anyone want to pull a heavy plane anyway? The contest benefits the Special Olympics which is an event Knezovich supports every February by jumping into a freezing lake.

“I really love those athletes. They overcome a lot and do it for the right reasons,” Knezovich said.

Wondering how to pull your own plane? Safety instructors warned participants to not try this at home, but good luck finding a 727 aircraft with a rope attached to it sitting around willy-nilly. Here’s some tips:

Lights, Camera, Action! - The rolling hills of the Palouse set the stage for a locally produced film about a feuding family finding peace in the midst of tragedy.

The movie is called "The Merry Graingers" and its been a labor of love for Serena Belsby who wrote the script after a family member died a few years ago. 

According to Belsby, the movie opens with the Grainger family preparing for their father's funeral.  As the film progresses, relationships change and they begin to enjoy each others company.

"We take the ride with them and see a bit of ourselves in them," writes Belsby

"It ends on an upbeat note and we realize they are going to be okay and they are going to start to accept one another warts and all. The film is about hope and acceptance."

With an Independent Film Project sponsorship, Belsby has had enough money to shoot the movie but now she needs help finishing it.
