With a high of 44 degrees expected today, be sure to bundle up when heading out to Camp Richardson for the annual Oktoberfest or to the Kokanee Festival at Taylor Creek.

Oktoberfest has plenty of beer and food to consume. Artists are ready to sell you some of their work. Hay rides are part of the fun, as is a pumpkin patch and dancing.

Farther north on Highway 89 are the salmon, which are making their annual spawning migration.

Expect traffic delays along Highway 89. Cycling might be a better option to reach your destination. But be forewarned that there’s a 50 percent chance of rain-snow showers today.
