flathead valley: Flathead Valley Update: September 29, 2008
- 09/29/08 01:57 PM
Changes and restorations in old town Kalispell. Fawn Boutique opened last Friday in a lovely restored building on Main Street. This is a much anticipated women's clothing store with a Blue Jean Bar. Apparently you just tell the clerk what style and fit of jeans you are desiring and she can pull them from the stacks without digging through and reading all the labels yourself. Plan on visiting this store tomorrow to check it out. Alternate Root opened a couple of weeks ago in the historic KM Building. Courtney Townley and Jamie Anderson are using a lovely space … (0 comments)

Weather couldn't be better! Covering tomatoes at night but clear sunny and warm days. Winter may be around the corner but we are enjoying every bit of outdoor activities we can squeeze in. I showed my Swan Hill Drive listing in Bigfork yesterday, incredible day to enjoy the views of the Swan Range. I feel so blessed to be able to share the Flathead Valley with locals and out of state buyers alike. North Valley School of Music had a fund raising concert a couple of nights ago in Whitefish. The school brought in a famous cowboy singer … (0 comments)

- 09/07/08 08:30 AM
Montana is a contested state for the Democratic part presidential nominee in November's election. Obama has visited our valley and Senator Biden is visiting today. Our state is traditionally Republican but we do have a Democrat for governor currently. We'll see which way the state goes in November. Farmers Market in Kalispell yesterday morning was great! Purchased some local melons, spaghetti squash, flowers, onions and other produce. Always a fun social event, running into friends. Followed the shopping with a bike ride down the rails to trails bike path. The path wanders through countryside and along Ashley Creek before … (1 comments)

The City of Whitefish had their third strike against the city keeping control of the "donut" area within 2 miles of the city limits. The courts again sided with Flathead County. The city is pursuing the matter in the higher courts. I am including a photo I took last week on a day long horse ride in the Great Bear Wilderness. It was a great day and we were very thankful our friend brought his saw since a tree blew down while we were in the wilderness and blocked the trail going out. A little excitement with the horses … (0 comments)

Wow! 400+ at the Event at Rebecca Farms this weekend. 4 former competitors from the US and Canada are competing in horse events at the Olympics this year. I am volunteering to be a jump judge at the cross country event. Horse trailers have been pulling through town all week heading to this big qualifying 3 day event. It is free to attend and you are allowed to sit near the jumps to watch. Dressage is today and then 2 days of cross country and Sunday is stadium jumping. Very exciting! Whitefish is hosting a major fly fishing expo this … (0 comments)
flathead valley: Flathead Valley Update: July 10, 2008
- 07/10/08 02:12 AM
It was a scenic ride along the east-side of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. We had an elk walk out of the woods and stand in the trail in front of our horses. Have never seen an elk on a trail ride before! The reservoir was beautiful down below us. We seemed to be the first on this trail for the season. Many large trees were down from winter storms across the trail, in fact one was so large we turned back. Did another ride with a friend this week at Herron Park. We climbed up the hill (or the horses did) … (0 comments)
flathead valley: July 4th Week in the Flathead Valley
- 07/02/08 08:57 AM
Wow, what a storm blew through the valley last night! Sheet lightening, LOTS of rain and some blustery winds. Hope the bad stuff is over and we can enjoy July 4th. Got our hay crop in earlier so it was in safe and dry for the winter. Other folks weren't so lucky. I still see a lot of baled hay sitting around in fields in the Flathead. Going to the Sun highway is finally plowed and open for the summer. Latest year that I can remember. Shuttles will be the main mode of transportation as the highway through … (0 comments)
flathead valley: An Active Weekend In all the Wonders of Flathead Valley
- 06/23/08 06:46 AM
Wow, what a difference a week makes! Bikes, kayaks, boats, camping trailers, horse trailers, you name the outdoor recreation activity and the Flahhead Valley was doing it this weekend! Personally I rode horses, went on the bike trail, and went sailing. Lots of sunscreen and lots of fun. Glacier National Park celebrates its 75th Anniversary this weekend at Lake McDonald. The events were scheduled for Logan's Pass but the Going to the Sun Road is still not plowed through for the summer. The snow 2 weeks ago did not do the pass any favors, even burying equipment in slides … (0 comments)
flathead valley: Interesting Weather Marks Another Week in the Flathead Valley!
- 06/16/08 10:42 AM
Boy did we have an interesting week last week. Higher areas in the valley got 5" of snow, while we on the valley floor got enough wet stuff to bend over the lilacs and tree branches. It was gone very quickly but even though it disappeared, there was a lot of grumbling about the weather and potential garden damage as well as the cherry crops being effected. By Friday we were in the high 60's to 70's and it just gets nicer everyday. Makes us all want to run out and enjoy the sun in case it doesn't last. … (0 comments)
flathead valley: Flathead Valley: Weekly Update for May 24, 2008
- 05/25/08 02:15 AM
Horseback season has arrived! I have been getting the horses back in shape which entails diets for most. Riding in the outdoor arena to work out any bugs before hitting the trail. My 3 year old gelding has gone off for more under saddle training. Former President Clinton recently stopped at Flathead Valley Community College to campaign for his wife. He was characteristically late but the crowd was elated to have a former president visit our valley anyway. Our record snowpack had a quick melt when the temps were in the 80's last weekend. Rivers rose with some … (0 comments)
flathead valley: Flathead County - What's New For April 10, 2008
- 04/10/08 06:50 AM
The weather is as always a topic of conversation this week. Rumors of 70 degrees by Sunday are flying around the valley. We are ALL ready for Spring/Summer to arrive. Too bad that Whitefish Mountain ski area closed last weekend. The conditions were superb and snow was falling for those that were still on the mountain. Usually by this time it is sunny and mushy, but not this year! My husband tells me that he had a great day skiing last Friday at Blacktail. Blacktail in Lakeside will remain open as long as the conditions are good. The task force … (0 comments)
flathead valley: Activity Picking Up?
- 11/02/07 09:54 AM
Well, it seems that things are picking up. More showings and Hilary wrote 2 offers last week, 1 for an out of state family and 1 for a local first time home buyer. We have had rumors of possible offers on 3 of our listings, waiting to see if they happen. It is an unusual time of year for activity to pick up, but there is pent up demand. Interest rates are great and it is a good time to buy. Glad that buyers are starting to realize that. Jennifer, our new client care manager, is already an invalueable part of … (1 comments)
