| Stumptown Ice Den in Whitefish. - Lido Vizzutti/Flathead Beacon |
The Stumptown Ice Den in Whitefish is the perfect place to glide across the ice no matter what the weather outside is doing.
The NHL regulation rink offers opportunities for open skating under a protective pavilion roof on well-groomed ice. Open skating times earlier in the day draw fewer people, giving youngsters and beginners more space to practice. Friday and Saturday evenings are much more popular.

| John Brakefield, left, and Roger Smith run through their scene – one in a series of vignettes – at the Christian Center in Kalispell while rehearsing “One Bethlehem Night,” this year’s Christmas musical production. - Lido Vizzutti/Flathead Beacon |
The Kalispell Christian Center will feature the infamous story about the birth of Jesus Christ in its annual Christmas play, but the cast of characters may come as a surprise to the audience.
The production – “One Bethlehem Night” – follows the events in the days leading up to Jesus’ birth as written in the Bible. The play centers on the personal journey of Simeon, the innkeeper whose “No Vacancy” sign led Mary and Joseph to take refuge in a nearby stable where Jesus would eventually be born.

There’s one dish mom used to make that my brothers and sisters still speak of in hushed, reverential tones: Sunday gravy.
Actually, we never called it gravy. Around our house it was either spaghetti and meatballs, or “all-day spaghetti.” Gravy or not, it was a dish always served on Sundays, as that was the only day of the week mom had time to start cooking in the morning, and fuss with a simmering pot until dinner time.

Riley Freeman rehearses her part as the Snow Queen at the Dance Arts Center in Kalispell. The Northwest Ballet Company will be performing the Nutcracker on Thanksgiving weekend at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts. - Lido Vizzutti/Flathead Beacon |
As a winter wind whipped outside, Marisa Roth and Mackenzie Heaton stood alone in the Northwest Ballet School dance studio in Kalispell. For the most part, other than when the Nutcracker soundtrack vibrated the room or Roth yelled encouragement over the music, things were calm.
Nothing compared to what the backstage of the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts will look like this weekend when the Northwest Ballet Company presents its 18th annual showing of the Nutcracker.

| Tina Bertram, Steve Stafford, Alex Hogle, Jason Revis and Erich Jonas rock the jam session at The Boiler Room. - Lido Vizzutti/Flathead Beacon |
Shortly before 7 p.m. on a Thursday night, The Boiler Room in Kalispell is nearly empty. A few people mull around, ordering coffee, but for the most part no one notices the five people moving chairs and tuning banjos, guitars and mandolins.
But when they finish their final tweaks and sit down to play, people begin to take up seats and more wander in as songs of long forgotten battles and overlooked outcasts waft out the door. Together they’re forming a community and that is just what Alex Hogle hoped for when he helped organize a twice-monthly bluegrass session at The Boiler Room, every other Thursday night throughout the winter.
