Buy Local
First, I must apologize for the l-o-n-g delay since my last post. I won't bore you with excuses or make-up a reason for this lapse. Suffice it to say that 'life' got in the way and priorities were shifted. But in the words of that famous movie.... I'm BAAAAAACK!
Talk about a way to make a comeback... have you heard about the new movement that is sweeping across NW Montana called "BUY LOCAL"?
This was started by a local businessman, the owner of Glacier Subaru, who took it upon himself to start an awareness campaign to help our community deal with this terrible economy.
His premise is simply that if we as consumers, make a conscious effort to buy local - we can literally change the economy of NW Montana. In less than one week, he has the attention of local politicians, the Chamber and scores of businesses and individuals who want to join this effort.
The idea is simple... before you buy anything - THINK - can I buy this through a local business? Be aware that spending our dollars locally means that 80% of those dollars will stay in the local economy. This helps to provide jobs for local employees and supports the communities of Northwest Montana.
I hope you will take the time to visit the Buy Local website and more importantly, make buying local a habit. It's good for Montana!

Salute to the Summer Solstice
Good morning campers!
Happy "summer solstice" and welcome to the longest day of the year.... and, I might add, the local forecast calls for this to be the warmest day of the year (so far). If your plans call for a hike in Glacier National Park or a day on the water at Flathead Lake, it looks like you'll have great weather (if not a tad hot).
According to Answers.com, on this day in history...

According to Answers.com, on this day in history...
- 524 - Godomar, King of the Burgundians defeats the Franks at the Battle of Vézeronce.
- 1665 - First soldiers of Le Régiment de Carignan-Salières arrive at Quebec to invade Iroquois territories.
- 1919 - Admiral Ludwig von Reuter scuttles the German fleet in Scapa Flow, Orkney. The nine sailors killed were the last casualties of the First World War.
- 1940 - World War II: France surrenders to Germany
And the I look at today's headlines and I think to myself... "we sure are slow learners". Okay, no personal political commentary or anything else that could ruin your day. Enjoy this longest day of the year because... soon we'll be preparing for winter! (did I really say that?... you know it did snow here last week!)
Enjoy the Flathead!
