Editor,
On Saturday, July 30, the Big Arm Association held its very successful annual Family Fun Day. We thank everyone who attended. It was a very special joy to watch the kids play the carnival games and soak each other in the famous Water Wars as grownups ate lots of barbecue, while some danced to great local music. Your generous support will allow us to complete more restoration work on the Big Arm Historic School; thank you.
This year, with the help from local businesses, we were able to complete a couple of major projects. Just days before the event, we laid a 20x30 foot concrete pad, graded the ground, and installed a 250-foot water line — all of which added tremendously to the success of the Family Fun Day and will improve future upcoming events.
In these tough economic times we truly appreciate and thank the local businesses that gave us such incredible support.
Also thanks to Super One for working with our group to provide excellent produce and meat and a huge thanks to Tim Bruner and his crew for making the most mouth watering barbecue.
A special thanks to Wilfred Kenmille and Friends and Gil and Erma Prier of the Westernaires, who donated their time to create wonderful music for the event. A big thank-you to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and the Polson School District #23 for continuing to support our efforts to restore the historic school and turn it into a community center.
Many thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to put on this fun community event. There are far too many of you to list, but you are greatly appreciated.
Next Big Arm community events will be a giant yard sale and pancake breakfast on Aug. 20, followed on Sept. 3 by the fifth annual Barn Dance held at the historic school this year. For more information, please call Alison at 849-6628.
