Bigfork to be the site of lots of activities
The snow is falling, the trees are cut,
the bows are tied and more than 10,000 lights have been checked and
double-checked.
Community volunteers known as the
Bigfork Elves will gather at 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, to decorate
the village with fresh garlands and trees, red bows and colored
lights. (See article below.)Their efforts will create a colorful
background for an old-fashioned Christmas celebration known for
good food, great music, art and of course, Santa Claus.
After the decorations are hung the
party progresses from 3 to 7 p.m. as visitors stroll through
galleries and shops during Bigfork’s annual Holiday Art Walk.
The walk will conclude with the
Christmas tree lighting at 7 p.m. in front of the Bigfork Inn.
While the rest of the village is decked out in colored lights and
red bows, the village tree will shine with gold bows and crystal
lights.
Every Saturday until Christmas, many
Bigfork merchants will stay open until 8 p.m.
Classic carriage rides through Bigfork
will be offered from 2 to 5 p.m. every Saturday through
December.
During the art walk, shops and
galleries will feature refreshments along with the opportunity to
sign up for the $100 gift certificate offered by participating
galleries.
Those that aren’t sure of an exact item
to pick up for a friend or family member are encouraged to “give
the gift of Bigfork.” More than 50 businesses are participating in
the Bigfork gift certificate program, making it very easy to give
the perfect gift to everyone on your list.
