Cowboy Supper Shows
Rockin’ B Ranch
3912 Spokane Bridge Road

Four-hour event features a BBQ go-back-till-it’s-gone dinner sandwiched between two complete performances: an outdoor Shootout Show and a Main Stage Musical Show, featuring the Riders of the Rockin’ B.

Why you’ll love it
A woman leaving a show this past year offered a particularly meaningful compliment to Scott and Pamela Brownlee, the talented Liberty Lake couple steering the popular Cowboy Supper Show into its 26th anniversary season in their 299-seat barn on the state line.

The woman didn’t offer the usual comments about the music or the food or a favorite punch line, but the way the Rockin’ B “creates a community.” Whether children or seniors, local residents or tourists, every performance night a diverse crowd is united by the wonder of food, fellowship and music into a distinctive cowboy kinship.

Known as a top-notch tourist attraction for the region, the crowds are also filled with the “regulars,” the local residents who attend season after season. The show is loved by young and old, and families are encouraged to attend. Special pricing and food for the 10 and under crowd (with lap children 2 years and under free) makes sure of that.

The Rockin’ B Ranch is also available for rent as an event and wedding venue.

What is it?
Halo jewelry consists of a center stone such as a diamond or a color gemstone surrounded by diamonds.

“This is really in right now,” explained Lorraine Tunca, owner of Lorraine Fine Jewelry in Liberty Lake. “Halo jewelry can be as simple as you want or as fancy. Halo jewelry is sleek and elegant yet modern and sassy.”

Tunca said Lorraine Fine Jewelry delivers one-of-a-kind jewelry — truly every masterpiece is uniquely hand-crafted by skilled artisans.

Why is it popular?
Halo-styled jewelry is very versatile, suiting a variety of occasions from everyday life to a formal affair. The most popular halo jewelry now is a color gemstone surrounded by diamonds. The different colored gemstones evoke different feelings and emotions, and make each ring unique. Lorraine Fine Jewelry features a large variety of halo jewelry as well as loose stones to customize jewelry of all kinds.

Wow factor
The diamonds encircling the center stone really makes the center stone pop. That’s because when light hits the small circular diamonds the diamonds forward that light back to the center stone. Halo-styled jewelry traces all the way back to the Georgian Era, which lasted from 1714 to 1837.

The team at Lorraine Fine Jewelry specializes in jewelry of all kinds, including customized pieces they design in-house. They also do repair, appraisals and watch battery replacements.

Ignore these tips at your golf cart battery’s peril

Mike Tolley has been selling and servicing golf carts in Spokane for 30 years. The owner and general manager of Ott Knott Golf Carts will tell you the secret to golf cart performance and durability has more to do with a properly maintained battery than anything else.

Here are Tolley’s top five battery tips.

1. Get what you pay for.

“The cheapest batteries are just that — the cheapest,” Tolley said, adding the correct algorithm battery for your cart from U.S. Battery Manufacturing Co. will enjoy 10 times the life of a cheaper brand, negating any upfront savings.

2. Water your batteries.

Fill the batteries to the fill line (one inch below cap) with distilled or filtered water every 30 days. Battery lead plates exposed to air are ruined.

3. Keep it clean.

“Keep batteries clean enough to eat off of at all times,” Tolley said. “Dirt, debris and moisture suck voltage out of your batteries when you are not even using them.”

4. Schedule a shine.

Tolley recommends pulling the battery cables off the terminal every 90 days and clean everything until it looks like “shiny new metal” before resealing. As this is often overlooked (hint: a turquoise colored corrosion at the end of the cable means you’re too late), he recommends adding it to your calendar so you don’t forget.

5. Congratulate yourself.

If you follow the above tips and keep things properly maintained, your battery will not only hold a longer charge, but it will last years longer.

“A well-maintained quality battery will last eight to 10 years, non-maintained one year,” Tolley said.
