Buy Local Flathead organizers Tom Heatherington, owner of MontanaSky Internet, and Sam Ayala, Glacier Subaru co-owner, pose for a portrait Thursday. Ayala came up with the idea of Buy Local Flathead to help support the local community. "When you spend locally about 80 percent of that stays in the community benefiting merchants, their families, everything," Ayala said. As Heatherington put it: "We just want people to 'Think before you buy' and try to spend locally if they can." Allison Money/Daily Inter Lake
