Very excited for the International Fly Fishing Film Festival return to Bigfork this Friday April 24 at Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts.

The International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4) brings together stunning short films from professional filmmakers around the world, capturing the passion, culture, and stories that define fly fishing. This event is more than a screening — it’s a gathering place for anglers, outdoor enthusiasts, and friends who share a love for water, wild places, and good stories.

Proceeds from the event support Cast Hope, a local nonprofit that provides free fly fishing and outdoor experiences for kids and their mentors. Through fly fishing, Cast Hope helps build strong mentoring relationships, outdoor skills, confidence, and lasting personal values. Learn more at https://casthope.org/.

I don’t often include a personal tone on the Chamber’s page, but my heart grew three sizes tonight at the Community Caroling with Rylee Mix at Lakeview Rehab & Nursing. I’m so incredibly grateful of Rylee Mix (and proud to have her as a part of Bigfork) for sharing her time and talent with the residents, thankful to Bigfork ACES for showing up, and thankful to every community member who came and raised their voice.

It was a special evening, sharing a little holiday spirit with some of our most deserving neighbors. Now go grow your hearts: shop local, support our nonprofits, and be kind to one another.

Merry Christmas,
Rebekah
