What I love about this Community is the people. 

Attend an old fashioned 4th of July, or any high school sports activity and you will see what I mean. Fundraisers for events or families who had a catastrophic event happen usually results in a spectacular turnout from the many kind people of the Clark Fork area. 
I am proud to be a participant in the continued progress to keep Clark Fork as friendly as it's been for the past 100+ years, a place where my grand-kids and their grand-kids can call home.
