Letter to the editor: an amazing front page

The front page of the October 12 issue of the Bigfork Eagle was truly amazing. It is mind-boggling that all three of the stories — “Bigfork makes list of top towns for youth,” “Server training required” and “Swan Lakers ramp up efforts to clean area waters, land” — deal with Bigfork area residents’ continuing successful efforts to improve our quality of life. We live in a very special place.

Thank you LEAP, FOBS, Bigfork Summer Playhouse, Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce, CFBB and Bigfork teachers for providing the information for America’s Promise Alliance’s selection of Bigfork as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People. These organizations, along with many of their volunteers, accomplish so many successful improvements to our community and deserve our heartfelt thanks.

Regarding the article “Server Training Required” — thanks to all who helped get DUI Senate Bill 29 passed. Also, kudos to the Bigfork downtown business proprietor’s  and the Flathead County Sherriff’s Office for their work in making Bigfork more beautiful, safer and quieter. Your efforts are noticed and appreciated.
