Resource Fair in Wallace

Following on the heals of the announcement that Hecla Mining's Lucky Friday Mine will be forced to be closed for up to a year several agencies have banded together to hold a resource fair in Wallace this Thursday from 2:30 till 5pm at the Wallace High School at 1 Miners Alley.The resource fair will help the miners affected as many in Silver Valley rely on the mines for income,many making as much as 100,000 a year,not a nice figure to suddenly lose.The fair will have rep's from the Idaho Dept. of Labor,Panhandle State Bank,Shoshone County Free Health Clinic,Community Action Program,Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare as well as North Idaho College to answer questions about furthering one's education and training.
