Last year was a great success and we cannot wait to see what the community brings out this year!!
We will be having crafting for the kids at the Legion Hall at 4:30, parade starts at 5:30 and dinner following. In 2021 the event brought 20 entries and over $1,400 from local sponsors for the winning baskets! AND a really cool trophy!
Leader: Brett Novik & Kate Bailey
This event was great fun and a wonderful turnout of folks from the Greater Swan Valley area.
Good food, great music and fun times were had by all.
The event was held at the Hansen Guest Ranch on September 24th! We look forward to next year!
Each month a different member's business will be spotlighted on our website, social media and throughout the valley. This will run from the meeting one month to the meeting the following month, when a new business will be randomly selected from attending members at the meeting.
Leader: Robyn Snyder
In an effort to keep our valley as beautiful as possible, we have started an initiative to offer assistance for property clean up. We started with the Irwin Park on 4/9/22, it was a great turnout with folks helping rake up the old leaves and pull overgrown weeds around the children's park toys. On 6/12/22, we did another clean up with mostly trimming up the bottom of the pines. Thank you everyone for your continued support in this project!
Next, we are planning on painting the outbuilding and continue to work on the years of leaves around the fence.
If you know someone in the area that could use a helping hand, please let us know.
Leader: Mike Wilson
The Nordic Ski Trail has acquired a new machine from generous local sponsors for maintaining the trail. We have taken ownership of the club and look forward to providing this great winter activity for many years to come.
Leader: Robyn Snyder
We have put together a booklet for the area visitors and residents. This will include local businesses, yearly calendar of events, history, attractions and much more.
Distribution of these will begin on March 1, 2022.
If you have content for our next booklet email Kate or Robyn.

The last highway cleanup had more volunteers than ever before. Let’s keep up the good work and try to find even more volunteers next time! The Spring clean up this year will be 5/14 at 10am.
Leader: Kate Bailey
We have distributed the new local directory around the valley. If you would like to be included on the next printing please email Kate with the information so that we can record this information into the directory and get it printed next time!
In 2021... we were asked to take over the reins on a past event. Kids had fun decorating cookies and ornaments. Light parade was a great success with many entries along with over $1000 from local sponsors for the winning baskets! Bill and Shannon Steffes took 1st prize with a light extravaganza on their entry. Dinner was gobbled up with chili and baked potatoes for all!!
We look forward to planning next year's event!
Next year's event will be on 12-3-22
