Good morning, Lewiston.
Downtown Lewiston is hosting a Disney-themed celebration called A Century of Love that honors Walt Disney and local Lillian Bounds Disney, featuring a Hidden Mickey scavenger hunt running from today through Saturday, July 12.

After 72.2 million travelers hit the roads over the Fourth of July weekend, AAA reported that gas prices in Idaho held steady with regular fuel at $3.42 per gallon and Lewiston at $3.36.
Nationally, fuel prices dropped to an average of $3.14 per gallon—providing small relief for holiday drivers.
A wildfire called the Rock Fire grew to 10 acres near Winona on July 7, doubling from an initial 5-acre estimate.

Idaho Fish and Game + partner agencies will use rotenone at four high mountain lakes in the Five Lakes Butte area starting August 11 to remove invasive brook trout and protect native cutthroat and bull trout.
Visitors should avoid the treatment areas as trail crews and helicopters support the work from July through September and native trout are moved to nearby safe waters.

The American Red Cross is urging blood donors—especially those with type O blood—to donate soon to help refill critically low supplies after holiday shortfalls and summer challenges.
Donors who give by July 14 will receive a pair of limited-edition Red Cross x goodr sunglasses, and local drives in Moscow, Troy, and Viola offer more chances to help.
