Heritage Museum Holiday Bazaar Nov. 1 & 2 (posted 10/28/2024)
Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. For well over twenty years that means The Heritage Museum will start things rolling with the Holiday Bazaar. Get an early start on Christmas shopping or perhaps some lovely Thanksgiving table décor. An array of handcrafted items will be featured throughout the Museum the first Friday and Saturday in November. For each purchase from a vendor inside the Museum, attendees will earn a chance to win the Museum’s Customer Appreciation drawing.

The Holiday Bazaar takes place Friday, November 1st from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, November 2nd from 10AM to 4PM. Shop for woodcrafts, needlecrafts, soaps, lotions, jewelry, Christmas decor, baked goods, locally authored books and more. In addition to the handcrafted items, the Museum’s table will offer merchandise and gift certificates that have been generously donated for this fundraiser by local merchants and friends of the Museum. 100% of the money earned at this table goes directly to the Museum.

The Kootenai Valley Quilt Guild will have a beautiful display of their seasonal quilts in the Tower Gallery.

A Silent Auction will be held during the Bazaar, ending at 4PM on Nov. 2nd. Prizes include:
- a float trip on the Kootenai
- a two-night stay at the Heron’s Roost cabin
- a wine flask & $50 Gift Certificate to High Spirits Wine & Liquor
- a quilt; a framed panoramic historic photo of Libby
- and more!

On Friday evening, RaeAnne Canavan will be serving hot soups with a roll in the cookhouse located at the end of the parking lot. Come and warm up before shopping or relax and enjoy hot soup after. Saturday, she’ll be set up in the parking lot serving delicious burgers and hotdogs from her catering trailer. Take it to go or enjoy it in the cookhouse with fellow shoppers. Save room for dessert; there will be a selection of homemade pies being sold by the slice both Friday and Saturday in the cookhouse. Proceeds from this pie sale go to The Heritage Museum, so please enjoy a piece of pie before or after shopping.

The Holiday Bazaar is a major fundraiser for the Museum. The Museum depends on it to cover the yearly insurance premium and winter heating bills.

A portion of the profit will come from the Holiday Raffle.
1st prize is $500 cash donated by Edward Jones Investments
2nd prize is Two $100 Gift Cards donated by Libby Empire Foods
3rd prize is Brunch for Two donated by The Venture Inn & Restaurant
4th prize is a basketful of handcrafted/homemade goods donated by various Holiday Bazaar vendors.

Tickets will be available at the Holiday Bazaar, Winter Expo (Dec. 13 & 14 at the Museum) and Alphapets, 34294 U.S. Hwy 2. The drawing will take place during the Winter Expo at the Museum, 3 PM on Saturday, December 14th. Need not be present to win.

Wardens investigating elk, moose shot and left to waste in northwest Montana (posted 10/6/2024)
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
Game wardens are investigating a pair of cases involving game animals shot and left to waste in early October, 2024.

On Oct. 4, wardens responded to a report of an elk that was killed and left to waste on private property off the upper Thompson River Road. The head was removed from the elk and the rest was left.

Anyone with possible information is asked to visit tipmont.mt.gov or call the local game warden at 406-250-9498 to provide details.

In another local incident, wardens are seeking information on a cow moose that was shot and left to waste on Clark-Hinchwood (USFS 1027) road outside Plains sometime between Sept. 27 and Oct. 4.

Anyone with possible information is asked to visit tipmont.mt.gov or call the local game warden at 406-240-2271.

Callers may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.


Libby lies in the northwest corner of Montana and is nestled in a valley carved by the Kootenai River on the flank of the majestic Cabinet Mountain Range and Wilderness Area. Today about 2,800 people live within Libby proper. The main industries are lumber and wood products, mining, tourism and recreation. The movies "The River Wild" and "Always" were filmed here. Contact the Libby Chamber of Commerce for brochures, info on lodging and events, general area information, and contact information for local businesses and services.

SUMMER
When the weather warms and the mountain snows melt away, the Kootenai National Forest comes alive with over 2.2 million acres of public land as a playground. Mountain trails and lakes open up, beautiful wildflowers come in bloom, and wildlife have their young. Libby is the basecamp for the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area, 90-mile long Lake Koocanusa, the Northwest Peaks Scenic Area, and the Ten Lakes Scenic Area. There is good access to most of the Forest and plenty of room to get away from it all!

WINTER
Winter in Montana means snow, and lots of it! For those who love to play in the deep powder, the Libby area offers tremendous winter fun. Turner Mountain Ski Area, located just 22 miles from Libby, offers challenging downhill skiing with a beautiful view. Their slogan is "steep, deep and cheap", and Turner definitely lives up to that. It's still fairly undiscovered, so you can escape the crowds and get the cheapest lift tickets around. For those who love snowmobiling, there are hundreds of miles of backcountry roads to sled on in the Kootenai National Forest. Cross-country skiers and ice fishermen also can find solitude on a lake and miles of quiet forest trails to enjoy the outdoors. Those who are a bit on the wild and crazy side will love the antics of the Libby Polar Bear Club. Members take winter-time "swims" in frigid Libby Creek every Sunday from October to April. Plungers have ranged in age from 3 to 61. As long as the ice can be broken on the creek, if it has formed, the group will take their plunge, no matter the temperature.
