Spokane is gearing up to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Expo '74 world's fair with a series of celebratory events kicking off Saturday. Many community organizations, including faith groups, are taking part in the festivities.
“The attitude of the youth who participated was amazing! We are grateful to the pioneers who came before us, and we hope these kids also know that they are modern-day pioneers,” said Heather Whitehead, a member of the Spokane Stake of the Church who served as the lead organizer of the event said.
