Can you believe July is coming to an end?!
The City of Whitefish is once again grappling with Hwy 93 retail expansion. The merchants downtown are fighting it. The flip side is that if Whitefish does not allow such growth, it pushes retail shoppers 15 min. south into Kalispell. Whitefish also charges a very minor resort sales tax on retail that does not assist generating shoppers in that town.
We attended a Flathead County planning meeting with the West Valley advisory board last week. 2 brothers want to get a permit for a motorcross track which they have been operating until too many neighbors complained about the noise. We are all for property rights and applaud the young men for their ambitious plan, but the noise is pretty disturbing when outside on a summer evening. Where is a good location for such a course? Hard to say.
Since it looks like rain, might take a drive up the North Fork road out of Columbia Falls. This road goes all the way to Canada and for the most part is gravel and rough. There are campgrounds and incrediblescenery on this west side of Glacier Park however.
Rebecca Farms last weekend was awesome! Sunday was the stadium jumping event. All the past Olympians wore red jackets, it was incredible here in this small valley. See photo below of us volunteering as x-country jump judges on Friday.
