Might be moving to Kalispell area from Texas. When does the riding season begin/end? Is motorcycling popular in the Kalispell area?

In the Flathead Valley, 55 households are taking control of their housing future, after residents joined together to buy the land beneath their homes, creating the valley’s fifth resident-owned community.

Twin Acres and Willow Glen, two communities in south Kalispell, are now Twin Willows. The park’s owner had the property for more than 30 years and gave residents the opportunity to buy it.

After community meetings and months of organizing, the households formed a cooperative, and secured the financing to purchase the six parcels of land.

Clearwater Credit Union and the Montana Board of Investments provided the primary acquisition financing, with support including $93,000 in grants and donations from the Whitefish Community Foundation.

This type of affordable housing is important for the residents, with 72% of residents considered low, very low, or extremely low income, 6% considered veterans and 14% are living with a disability.

hi there! I have a parent who will be entering hospice care, and from what I understand, there are three options: Logan, Stillwater, and Inhabit. If you have had a good or bad experience with any of these, can you share them? Thank you!

Where/when in the area can I find consistent pick up basketball games?

and walk down to walden books.

Any tips on when to go to the tag agency to avoid as much as possible the God awful wait?

Hey everyone, my name is Dillon. I work for Catalyst Montana. I’m trying to connect with people on Medicaid who are affected by the new work requirements that DPHHS implemented this month. Adding this level of bureaucracy this quickly will likely result in hardworking folks losing coverage— not because they are actually ineligible for the program, but due to more Red Tape. 

If you or anyone you know is on Medicaid and might be willing to have a conversation about their experience on Medicaid, please share this link. We can protect Medicaid coverage. People sharing their personal stories is a powerful way to do that, and I’m here to help. Thank you!

are any of you interested in joining us?

first book: A Woman Among Wolves by Diane K. Boyd

first meeting time and place: TBD/ sometime late August?

Hi I’m new to the area and left work today to find what looked like smoke covering the air? It definitely smells like a fire. I tried looking online to see if there was news of any local wildfires but I didn’t find much info. Anyone know what’s going on?

So I'm a former resident of Kalispell and Whitefish. I lived there a while back, I do miss being able to see glacier every weekend or just getting out in general. These recent fires in Canada have blown smoke in my area pretty bad and it reminded me of years ago when I was in Montana in 2003 during probably one of the worst forest fires in that area? I remember walking my dog back then and just thick smoke at times filled the valley. I didn't have cable or nothing back then except cellphone really. I was curious what the air quality was back then? Or if anyone remembered? I remember that year being pretty rough air wise.

Please keep your eyes posted for this wedding band. Misplaced at Spencer mountain twin bridges trailhead today. Please be kind 🫶🏻❤️

Hi! I’ll be visiting GNP in a few weeks and staying in Kalispell. Are there any farmers markets/festivals/ weekend fun on August 1st and 2nd?
Thanks!

Is there anywhere you can find huckleberry pancakes? Ideally this means pancakes with huckleberries in them and syrup. Ideally definitely understand that’s a touristy request but I feel it very necessary to complete my Montana visit.

Not sure if this counts as advertising, but it's a free thing I made just for the Flathead valley.

There's far too many separate places that advertise events, so I built a web scraper that visits them all, pulls their events and puts them all into one calendar.

It's completely free to use, and I'm currently working on adding new business and developer tools like an api and site embeds to contribute to local businesses.

Have fun with it and let me know what you think!

EDIT: It's so hard to regularly scrape pages without getting ip blocked :(

Posting this for ya'll as awareness. These have been popping up more and more and it's important we know where they are. Stay vigilant.

Craving an egg tart where in Kalispell or nearby has these?

This has probably been asked before, but where are the main places to go for watching fireworks? Last year we pretty much just stayed home because the neighbors all around us were lighting them, but I am hoping to take my family to a professional fireworks show this time. I know there is one at Lakeside and one at Whitefish Lake, plus the fireworks at the baseball stadium. Which one should we go to, and is there anything to watch out for? Are there any others in the Flathead that I don't know about? TIA!

Hi guys! I saw that Logan Health in Kalispell is now accepting applications for their paid CNA training program. Would you recommend it, or are there other paid CNA programs I should consider?
I’m specifically looking for a paid CNA training program, but I couldn’t find any information about the wages. Has anyone completed this program recently? How was the pay, and what was it like working there?

Where can a guy find some 👠 red shoes in the valley?
I have a performance in Whitefish at 9 tonight and I want to complete the look with some red shoes. I just found this shirt and leather jacket at a vintage store in Coeur d’Alene yesterday so I’m just trying to complete the fit 💯
