Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over some of the week’s biggest headlines for Northwest Montana.

Starting off with news about the Columbia Falls Community Market, whose organizers shared with the public this week that it has until Sept. 7th to raise about $1 million to purchase its current location.

We’ll hear what architectural firm was selected by Flathead County to reconstruct the covered grandstands at the fairground, which are nearly 120 years old. 

We’ll get the latest on the capping of an old oil well that remained near Kintla Lake in Glacier National Park.

Then we’ll hear from irrigation operators in Lake County about how the end of the season is faring for water used in the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project.

And we'll hear about which organizations received the latest grants from Flathead Electric Co-op's Round up for Safety program.
