     Well, a little behind on the blog writing. Got tossed from a horse and typing is difficult with a broken thumb. Glad for the 1st class medical help we have here in the valley. Kalispell Regional got me right in the e.r. without a wait, x-rayed everything and put me back together.

     Autism fund raiser walk next Saturday at Woodland Park: Join local non-profit organization, Autism Society of America – Northwest Montana Chapter at their 3rd Annual Autism Walk at Woodland Park in Kalispell on Saturday, September 18th. Registration begins at 2pm and the walk starts at 3pm. The event is a “fun walk” around the 1.5 mile paved path at the park and is open to all participants regardless of age or ability. This is a non-competitive event where participants can walk as far or as they little as they prefer. Dozens of autism facts will be placed on signs along the walking path to raise awareness of this debilitating neurological disorder that now affects 1 in 110 children. The event is free, however participants are encouraged to raise donations to support the Northwest Montana Chapter of the Autism Society of America. All money raised stays locally to benefit families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders in Northwest Montana. For more information, call 257-8758 or visit www.MontanaASA.org.We have friends with an autistic child - those parents deserve medals!

    Sportsman Ski Haus is having the ski blowout this weekend. Good chance to get ready for the coming season and by ski passes to Whitefish Mtn Resort and Blacktail. I have mine. Don't miss the discount pass deadline for the end of Sept.!

     Feels like FALL! 60 degrees the last few days. Time to attend football games and clean out the garden.

     Sykes grocery store in Kalispell has a new buyer. This store is a favorite hang out for locals, especially farmers, who have been having coffee and eating there for years. We'll see what the new owner has in store. Supposed to have a stage for music to pursue the adult hang-out market.

     Guitar Festival in the valley last weekend was well attended. Famous guitarists from around the world made it to our corner of the USA to teach and perform. We were camping so missed it but it sounds like it was incredible.

I remember Sykes grocery store from the 70's, glad to hear that it has a buyer and that there are some plans to keep the site active, it's always been a friendly place.
