Citizens for a Better Flathead will be celebrating 31 years and hosting its annual Great Place Raffle Party on Aug. 4 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Northwest Montana History Museum (Museum at Central School) in downtown Kalispell.

This will be an outdoor event under the trees at the museum with seating to enjoy reconnecting with many good friends, a homemade pie feast, a no-host bar, and entertainment by Sweet Beats. The event is open to the public, and Citizens for a Better Flathead looks forward to celebrating wonderful community support that makes their work possible.

Raffle tickets will be available for sale at the start of the evening, but you can also go online at https://www.flatheadcitizens.org to see the list of 31 great prizes and to purchase your raffle tickets before the event. Tickets are $25 each or five for $100.

Citizens for a Better Flathead (CBF) works to foster informed and active citizen participation in the decisions shaping the Flathead's future, and to champion the democratic principles, sustainable solutions and shared vision necessary to keep the Flathead special forever. Since 1992, CBF has been working to secure policies that will keep the Flathead the place we love as it changes and grows.

Since 1992 the population of the Flathead Valley has almost doubled from 62,949 to over 110,000 today, which has brought a lot of change. How the Flathead grows is important to all of us. This event is an informal opportunity to gather, celebrate, and learn a bit more about the work CBF does.
