Public piano builds community in Bigfork

Three children discovered the piano one afternoon. The lot of them squeezed onto a solitary bench, pounding out songs of their own creation. The eclectic melody bounced down Electric Avenue accented with their laughter. Nearby shopkeepers propped their doors open to listen and tourists paused their meandering to take in an idyllic slice of small-town life.
