Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts - Saturday September 24th, 2011 7:30 PmChildren’s Theatre performing  - Annie  This play is set in New York City during the Depression.


Annie lives in an orphanage run by the ill-tempered, heavy drinking Miss Hannigan.

Like the rest of the children, Annie doesn't like the orphanage and hates Miss Hannigan. When Annie is chosen to spend the Christmas holidays with the wealthy industrialist Oliver Warbucks, Miss Hannigan is infuriated that Annie will be spending the holidays in the lap of luxury. Warbucks is charmed by Annie's spunk and good spirits and is eager to adopt her, but Annie is convinced that one day her real parents will come back to claim her. Warbucks loves her enough to offer a fifty thousand dollar reward in the search for her folks. That's when Miss Hannigan's con-artist brother Rooster and his floozy girlfriend Lily, concoct a scheme to pose as Annie's long lost parents. Along the way Annie befriends a mutt named Sandy and even President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Going to the Sun Road Scenic Drive

Now is the time to drive the scenic Going to the Sun Road.

Going to the Sun Road is one of the most amazing highlights of Glacier National Park. Going to the Sun is an engineering marvel that spans 48.7 miles through Glacier National Park's wild interior, winding around mountainsides and treating visitors to some of the best sights in northwest Montana.

Currently all of the Going-to-the-Sun Road is open for travel.

Starting at 12:01 am on Monday, September 19th, 2011 the fall road closure on the Westside of Going to the Sun Road for construction will begin.

Why is there road Construction???  The Going-to-the-Sun Road is now 75 years old and is in need of comprehensive rehabilitation to ensure that this National Historic Landmark is preserved for generations to come.
The Going to the Sun Road officially received its name, “The Going-to-the-Sun Road,” during the 1933 dedication at Logan Pass.

The road borrowed its name from nearby Going-to-the-Sun Mountain. The local legend, and 1933 press release issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, tells the story of the deity, Sour Spirit, who came down from the Sun to teach the Blackfeet braves the rudiments of the hunt and on his way back to the sun, Sour Spirit had his image reproduced on the top of the mountain as an inspiration for the Blackfeet.

Without stopping, it usually takes approximately two hours to travel the Going to the Sun Road. The actual time depends on how often you stop to visit the points of interests along the way, as well as road construction (delays for construction can be as long as 40 minutes), and wildlife sighting delays.

Logan Pass is 32 miles from the west entrance at West Glacier and 18 miles from the east entrance at St Mary’s. The parking lot at Logan Pass usually fills up between the hours of 9:30 am to 4 pm daily.

To help reduce congestion on Going to the Sun Road vehicle size restrictions are enforced:
   Vehicles no longer than 21 feet including bumpers
   Vehicles no wider than 8 feet including mirrors
   Vehicle and vehicle combinations over 10 feet in height
between Avalanche Campground and the Rising Sun picnic area parking area on Going to the Sun Raod.
