Volunteers pull together for the holiday greening of Bigfork
More than 100 volunteers, otherwise known as Bigfork Elves, gathered at Flathead Lake Lodge on a chilly Saturday morning two weeks before Thanksgiving to begin the process of decorating downtown Bigfork for the holiday season. About half of the group stayed behind to test and replace Christmas light bulbs while the remainder headed onto 20 different properties to thin out forest areas while gathering as many as 800 trees.
