I am a big fan of your column and enjoy seeing some different perspectives in an otherwise stale media environment here in North Idaho. I am hoping that you could help me out with my wedding. I grew up in St. Maries and I am marrying a beautiful young woman from Buffalo, NY. To try to break the ice with her family (the wedding is going to be in Buffalo in September) I would like to give a little presentation on fun facts of Idaho. Things
like: "no, its not Iowa, or Ohio" and "not everyone here grows potatoes." I would assume you have a lot of this type of material and I was hoping that you could share some of it with me.

Question: Anyone have some fun facts -- or cultural insights -- about North Idaho?
