It's always fun to see the Bigfork Village transformed for Christmas
Edd Blackler | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 9 years, 1 month AGO
What fun it is to see our small town become a “Christmas Village” each year. Once again volunteer “Bigfork Elves”, veterans and newbies, turned out in good numbers to do their magic.
We all should give Michele Shapero a great big “Thank You” for bravely stepping up to be the Chief Decorating Elf this year. Only those who have previously served in a Bigfork Elf Force leadership role really understand how many loose ends must be connected in order to make the annual decoration effort successful.
I was pleased to see how well everyone found ways to work together up and down the street in order to get the job done, even when small variations from the past occurred. The 2015 Fleet of the Bigfork Elf Force should give themselves a hardy pat on the back for their performance. Hopefully, a good number of area residents will find time to visit our Village during the Holiday Season to enjoy the atmosphere.

Taking the partisan out of local elections
On this 22nd day of July, I have some wonderments about the upcoming elections. In the recent primary election, there were a number of cases where all of the candidates were from the same political party. This presented a dilemma for a voter who had a favorite candidate for a county office, but who also wished to vote for state or federal office candidates who didn’t appear on the same ballot.
Forum an opportunity to meet candidates
On Monday, Oct 6th, It was my privilege to attend the Bigfork Candidate Forum at the Bigfork Elementary School cafeteria which was co-hosted by the Bigfork Eagle and three Bigfork High School students. This was an excellent chance for me to learn about the candidates for Senate District five and the Flathead County Commission.
