Love was definitely in the air, and spread throughout dozens of vendor tables at the Valentine's Day Craft Fair at the St. Regis Community Center last Saturday.
Over 20 booths offered baked goodies, sweet treats, customized woodwork, aromatic bath items, and various romantic decor and gifts. One vendor, Rita Shope, who sells her pictures of western Montana calls her business, Montana Love Photography.
She stated, "It's been a bit of a slow start today, but like an older lady that told me down at the Alberton winter market, I'm getting my name out there, and that's what counts."
The Craft Fair ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and many of the sellers appeared to have sold a great deal of Valentine's fare.

Fitting as a former Montana Highway Patrolman who gave 20 years of service to the state, followed by his current role as a county commissioner. He and his family were overwhelmed by the community's generous support during the benefit game and live auctions held to provide financial assistance as Shawn undergoes treatment for stage 4 colon cancer. Over $40,000 were raised for the Smalley family on April 4, with incredible donations such as guided hunts, firearms, fly fishing trips, a BBQ, and much more. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
