BIgfork artist Jill Gotschalk is pictured at the Persimmon Gallery in downtown Bigfork on June 19. She donated her time and talents last winter to paint the Bigfork Art and Cultural Center's street piano. She used colorful acrylic paints to create a floral theme, topped by a protective coating to protect the instrument from the elements. (Mackenzie Reiss/Daily Inter Lake)

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.
