TFS Community Hall News

The land exchange proposed in July has been withdrawn by landowner Mark Kok.  The proposal included the TFS Community Hall board granting a 30-foot easement to Kok in exchange for a .8 acre parcel of land north of the TFS Community Hall.  Previously, the TFS Community Hall board has sought to buy the land north of the hall to expand the TFS Community Hall’s kitchen and bathrooms.

The hall board is moving forward to develop plans to renovate the kitchen and make the bathrooms ADA compliant without a building expansion.

Trego Heritage Days

The TFS Community Hall board is sponsoring Trego Heritage Days as THE major fund raiser for the TFS Community Hall.  The goal is to raise $10,000 to cover a year of the hall’s expenses. Part of the money has been raised through sponsorships. The remainer of the funding will be raised by selling  parking passes and music tickets. Parking passes are available at thehalltfs.com website for $10 per car. Music tickets and parking passes will be available the day of the event. Music tickets are separate from parking passes and are $10 per person with children 12 and under free. The goal is to sell over 500 parking passes and/or music tickets. Much of the promotional advertising is occurring in the Flathead valley.

The majority of the heritage events occur Saturday, September 7th.  The TFS fireman’s breakfast is Sunday at the hall.  On Saturday, a parking pass is required to park on the grounds adjacent to the hall (Mee field) or at Blarney Ranch.  There will be food vendors, a beer garden, talks about local history, and music at the TFS community hall. Music is expected to start at 2:30 and continue to 8 pm.   

The Trego pub is hosting educations and local agencies information booths as well as fiber demostrations and a MLA logging simulator.  Around noon Two Bears Rescue Helicopter is expected to land at the Trego pub. Much of the day’s activities will be at  Blarney Ranch including “Coffe with Cows”. Blarney Ranch is hosting  ranching, logging, and farming demonstations.  There will be a petting zoo (from Poverty Flats), a bouncy house, 3 legged races, sack races, and a pie eating contest for the kids. The ranch will have a vendor village (with local artists), food trucks and beer garden.

Volunteers for the event will receive free parking passes and tickets for the music event. Parking passes will be given out to food bank recipients before the event.  With the large crowd expected, come early.
