Thanks for the winefest

On behalf of the board of the Big Mountain Commercial Association, thank you to those who helped out with and attended our inaugural Big Mountain Winter Winefest on February 19.

Fun Beverage and Rocky Mountain Wine sponsored the main event and got together over 40 different kinds of wine. We had great music by Jeff Arcel and his band and lots of fun.

The Winefest was also a fundraising success due to the generosity of those who made bids during our silent auction.

The funds raised will support the SNOW bus. We are very lucky to have such support.

Thanks to these generous sponsors American Bank, Coldwell Banker Wacholz and Co., Flathead Living Magazine, Slopeside Development, the Sportsman and Ski Haus and Big Mountain Resort. Thank-you also to the following businesses that donated auction items: Daley McDaniel, Laura Lackey, Linda Christensen, Sue Beardsley, Sherry Wells, John Rose, Alpinglow Inn, Backdoor General Store, Decorator Warehouse, Dog Sled Adventures, Glacier Raft Company, Good Medicine Lodge, Hidden Moose Lodge, J & L RV Rentals, La Provence, Lakestream Fly Fishing Shop, Loula's Cafe, Montana Coffee Traders, Mountain Photography, Pollo Grill, Purple Pomegranate, Remedies Day Spa, Simply Sweet Baking Co., Stumptown Snowboard, Truby's Pizza, and the Whitefish Lake Restaurant.

Thanks again and cheers!
