Students have returned to classes after Bigfork High School received a bomb threat Monday morning that, upon further investigation, turned out to be unfounded, according to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office. The school received a call at 7:30 a.m. from an unknown individual, stating there was a bomb inside the building. School officials relocated students from the high school to the cafeteria in the middle school and elementary building and called parents to notify them of the incident.

“Sheriff’s officers worked to clear the school to make sure there were no devices,” Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino told the Daily Inter Lake. “They didn’t find any other indications of a device in the school and students were back in the building at 9 a.m.”

The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigation the threat.

This story will be updated as additional information becomes available.

This weekend, Martin City will awake from its winter slumber for a raucous weekend of racing, socializing and perhaps, more than a little imbibing. The 40th annual Cabin Fever Days includes events like the mountain man competition, arm wrestling tournament, snowshoe softball and even a kids pool tournament. But an account of the three-day mountain festival would be incomplete without mention of the barstool ski races, where contestants fly down a groomed hill on home-engineered contraptions affixed to a pair of skis.
