KREM 2 Hometown Highlight | 2023
KREM 2 will visit four towns throughout October to tell the stories that make each town unique.
KREM 2 is coming to a town near you this October!
Each Friday in October, KREM 2’s Mark Hanrahan and the Hometown Highlight team will broadcast live from the town’s Friday football game and tell the stories that make each town unique.
We will be visiting four towns throughout the month.
Join us this October for Hometown Highlight during the 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts each Friday.
Reardan, Wash. Week 1
KREM 2 News is in Reardan, Wash., for the first weeks of Hometown Highlight! The small town in Lincoln County has plans for a memorial to be built honoring Joe E. Mann, a WWII paratrooper who sacrificed all to save his comrades.
We also sat down with four high school football coaches at Reardan High School over the last 50 years. Between them, they have won four state titles and have raked in more wins than losses. We asked what makes Reardan a special place to live.
It was Senior Night for the Reardan High School football team. Hear from team members, cheerleaders and the mayor about their pride in their small town.

LaCrosse, Wash. Week 2
When it comes to small towns, LaCrosse has it covered. The town is about 30 miles southwest of Colfax, surrounded by a lot of space and not much else. With a population of 300 people, on a good day, the town has had to fight to stay alive. Hear from a group working to preserve the town's history while revitalizing its Main Street.
KREM 2's Mark Hanrahan also met up with the LaCrosse & St. John High School's homecoming court to talk about what they love about their small towns.
Kellogg, Idaho Week 3
Kellogg, Idaho, home to just over 2,000 people, is at its best right now. The trees of every color line the hills, making the town look like a postcard or something from a Hallmark movie. It is also home to the Kellogg Wildcats. KREM 2 stopped by on a senior night to discuss efforts to bring a renewed sense of pride to the small town.
Chattaroy, Wash. Week 4
In our final Hometown Highlight of 2023, the KREM 2 crew went to Chattaroy, Washington, to see how the small town is recovering from the devastating Oregon Road wildfire that left hundreds displaced. Months later, community members are still coming together to support one another, and the Salvation Army is making sure residents still have care.
