Big Fork, Montana August 18
Another beautiful day! We decided to explore a couple of areas around Columbia Falls today. First was the small town of Big Fork which we heard was a cute place and we agree. Kind of an artsy enclave with restaurants and galleries galore located in a beautiful setting. A local nursery promoted a beautification project which included hanging huge flowering baskets which they just happened to make. Pretty smart! The town does look great. We took the historic walking tour and checked out a few galleries before going on to our next stop. We drove to Whitefish and went to Big Mountain. Our plan was to ride the chair lift up to the top for views of Flathead Valley but there was so much haze we decided to skip it. Tom and Jean arrived this afternoon and it was fun catching up with them.
We really enjoyed a performance in Whitefish Tuesday evening. There is a nice performing arts center there where they put on shows with Broadway performers; pretty amazing for a town of 5000. The show was a musical revue of Rogers and Hammerstein called “A Grand Night for Singing”. Top notch!
