Browns committed to the town they love

Congratulations to Harry and Nancy Brown, this year’s Whitefish Winter Carnival King and Queen. They like so many others have devoted their life to making Whitefish a truly unique and wonderful community.  

I have had the pleasure of knowing Harry and Nancy since 1981 when I first came to Whitefish. Harry was active in many businesses and was instrumental in adding the flowers on Central Avenue in the mid-1980s. He and many others helped found the Whitefish Downtown Association to keep the community together when the mall opened.  

Nancy was the smiling face as you entered the First National Bank (Glacier Bank.) She was the Clint Eastwood of Whitefish because she just made everyone’s day. Just like the Abells, the Akeys, the Atkinsons, the Dowalibys, the Heilmans, the Strausers, Jim Trout, John Kramer, the Nelson brothers, Gary Stephens and so many others, Harry and Nancy have worked to keep the many traditions, including the Winter Carnival, alive in Whitefish.

It is because of this commitment to a community that they love that Whitefish is such a wonderful community to live and raise a family.
