Elves Decorate
DOWNTOWN
SATURDAY, NOV. 23 | BIGFORK
Hundreds of elves converged on Electric Avenue early Sat-
urday morning to decorate Bigfork Village. Despite freezing
temperatures, volunteers spent the morning hanging lights
and tying bows on fresh garland, preparing downtown for
the afternoon art walk and evening tree lighting. The annual
tradition has been taking place for about 30 years.
