The downtown merchants open their doors to all the little ghouls and goblins who come dressed up to trick or treat in a safe and friendly environment. The Big Fish Trailer will be there playing classic Halloween music, passing out candy, Big Fish bumper stickers and magnets. Come see us at the south end of Main Street. Then, for more frightful Halloween fun, log on to WhitefishRadio.com's live stream for the return of 'DRACULA' at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM MST.

Thank You's All Around!

WhitefishRadio.com would like to thank everyone involved in the P.TA. tailgate fundraiser at last Friday's Whitefish Bulldogs homecoming game. I discovered years ago that one of my greatest strengths is serving others. I truly believe in investing myself in the community that I live in. Never do I feel better about how I have spent my time than at the end of a day of service. I know that the contributors to this P.T.A. fundraiser share these feelings. I would like to personally thank Mike's Conoco, Luizanne's Fine Catering, Whitefish Pizza Hut, Alpine Market, and Whitefish Care for their food and beverage contributions. We grilled a lot of bratts, and sold lots of pizza by the slice and freshly baked cookies to the hungry football fans. We also made a lot of new friends. All of the money raised goes to the Whitefish P.T.A.

Speaking of fundraisers! WhitefishRadio.com is back at it again this Saturday October 4th from 6:00 to 10:00pm. It's "OCTOBERFISH" A fundraiser for the Stumptown Art Studio. The Big Fish will be hosting the event. Right after the OOM PAH PAH polka band...we will be playing some good ol Rock n Roll and giving away raffle prizes. I've had a chance to view some of the items in the silent auction and I was very impressed. Tickets are $50.00 per person and include: A souvenier beerstein or wine glass, complimentary food, drinks, cigar bar, bee garten, raffle prizes and more. Come on out and support our local non-profit community art center. Call 862-5929 for on line at http://www.stumptownartstudio.org/ See you there!

ROB QUIST LIVE!

WhitefishRadio.com, The Big Fish celebrates one year of web casting live from our hometown studios in beautiful Whitefish, Montana, USA, by introducing a new program with a familiar Montana voice.

Rob Quist, known to many as Montana’s Musical Ambassador, and a founding member of the Mission Mountain Wood Band, has joined The Big Fish to bring a new exciting musical show to Montana and the World via the world-wide web. Beginning on March 6, 2008, Rob Quist will be on live every Thursday at 10AM MST at http://www.whitefishradio.com/, and each show will be available on demand the following day. What’s the show all about? Rob Quist describes it this way, “This show is going to be a reflection of the music I’ve played over the course of my career. I’ve really made my musical journey about writing songs about the people of the west and the history of this country and the people that live here, which, to me is infinitely more interesting than writing commercial songs. We’re going to be playing songs from some of the groups I’ve been in, such as the Mission Mountain Wood Band and the Montana Band, as well as other more eclectic groups.” Rob will be inviting many of his musical friends to join him on the show; friends whom he considers to be “some of the greatest musicians and songwriters in America.” He adds, “We also plan to do a lot of jamming on Whitefish Radio, with new songs that are just being born and maybe some that aren’t quite ready for show time yet, but are in the process of being made.”

“I am very excited about the new Rob Quist Live radio show here on The Big Fish. He is one of Montana's best known and most loved singers, songwriters, and storytellers. His music spans nearly 4 decades. Rob also has a love for Montana history and I'm really looking forward to hearing some great stories that will take us back in time. Rob is very knowledgeable about the world of internet broadcasting and uses the latest technology to stay connected with friends and fans. So, this new collaboration with Rob and WhitefishRadio.com is just a natural. What a way to celebrate our first year on the world-wide web,” said Ross Strauser, owner of WhitefishRadio.com.

Named by the Missoulian as “One of Montana’s Notable Musicians of the Twentieth Century,” Rob has released 9 CD’s, placing songs on Billboard and Independent Charts as well as receiving radio airplay in United States, Europe and Japan. Rob’s songs have been recorded by Michael Martin Murphey and Loretta Lynn, and he was recently inducted in the University of Montana School of Fine Arts Hall of Honors recognizing him as “One of its greats,” saluting him as “a celebrated Montana musician and composer who has captured the spirit of the West in his music, an eloquent proponent of the history and beauty of the West whose legacy in song will be embraced by generations to follow.”

Catch the premiere of Rob Quist Live, Thursday, March 6, at 10AM MST exclusively on Montana’s only all internet station, http://www.whitefishradio.com/. Click on the Live Stream button to listen.
