| October 15, 2019 5:50 PM

Bigfork’s 31st annual Tamarack Time! Fall Festival drew hundreds of people to Electric Avenue to sample hundreds of special offerings from top local chefs. Approximately 395 visitors stopped to sample up to 13 categories of cuisine, ranging from cookies and pies to pickles and potatoes. The celebration of community fare brought in $1,975. The net proceeds will be donated to the Community Foundation for a Better Bigfork to aid in the upkeep of the Swan River Nature Trail. Next year’s Tamarack Time! will be held in downtown Bigfork on Oct. 10, 2020.
