I like bluegrass music.

Maybe it was from going to bluegrass festivals with my Arkansas-born-and-raised father, or maybe it's just a general appreciation for talented musicians. Whatever the reason, I love the fiddle, guitar, banjo, stand-up bass, twang...you name it.

So, I know there's a lot of snow piling up out there, but I'd like to let you know about some meetings coming up regarding Spring and trees. Specifically, caring for and choosing trees.

Yes, I realize it requires a little bit of energy to muster the mental shift necessary to consider Spring tree care when all of our deciduous trees are naked and the conifers make convincing snow ghosts.

Hi, Flathead Valley. I hope you're all enjoying this warm weather!

Happy New Year, Flathead Valley! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season and that your wallets, waistlines and collective sanity survived in tact.

While you're getting back into a regular routine (it's difficult, I know), here's something important to consider: Now that the holidays are over, local food banks enter into their toughest season.

Happy holidays, Flathead Valley. Looking for something to do on Thursday night?

Well, take this into consideration: Local entertainment company The Nightlife Events is hosting a giant Christmas party at the Outlaw Inn in Kalispell on Dec. 23.

Dec. 14 marks roughly the eighth year that the Columbia Falls Police Association hosts the "Shop with a Cop" event. Each year, members of the Columbia Falls Police Department take a few lucky kids to Target to let them pick out whatever they want for Christmas.

My goodness, what a great sunny day we're having today, Flathead Valley. Nice and slushy.

For those of you who maybe weren't sure what you were going to do tonight, consider the Art Walk and Holiday Stroll, happening in downtown Kalispell and Evergreen tonight (Friday) at 5 p.m.
