The local motocross community came together to honor the life of Austin Krum, the Spokane Valley teen who died last Saturday while competing in a motocross race at the ORV Park in Airway Heights.

Coats 4 Kids is an annual fundraiser that has been collecting coats for children for 26 years. They start collecting in mid-September so children can keep warm just in time for the cold and wet fall and the colder and snowy winter.

KXLY has teamed up with the fundraiser to help collect coats at the Spokane Interstate Fair. On Sunday, September 18th, visitors who bring new or gently used coats to donate will let one child 13 and under in free  to the fair from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Coat drop-offs will be at the entry gates. 

If you're headed up to the fair for a variety of events on the 18th, including the full-sized car demolition derby, don't forget to bring a new or gently used children's coat that you can donate. That Sunday is the last day of the fair.

Two state park volunteers from Airway Heights are recipients of the 2010 Volunteer Recognition Awards for their volunteer service. John and Darlene Lundstrum were awarded Host of the Year for their work at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.
