Falling Back Into The Swing

Summer flew by, school is back in session, and visitors to our beautiful state of Montana, for the most part, have returned to their homes. Fall is nipping at our heels as we settle back into a routine and prepare ourselves for the winter ahead. As everything around us seems to be slowly winding down, WhitefishRadio.com is full-speed ahead.

Getting back to school is a very positive change for most, but with it comes many challenges for our kids. Mac Bledsoe, features an all new series titled Back to School right here on The Big Fish. This series is full of wonderful advice for parents, students, and teachers on subjects like homework, better grades, following the rules and the importance of kids getting involved with school activities.

More often than not, school activities include a heavy emphasis on sports, which led The Big Fish to fulfill a community request by adding an all new Flathead Valley Sports Page. Here you can keep up with all the latest scores on our sports ticker, view game schedules in one convenient location, hear coach and player interviews, news and more.

Because you can get the hard-hitting news anywhere, WhitefishRadio.com is committed to maintaining a news page that brings positive, community interest stories to the forefront. If you have a story of interest that you would like to see on our site, please contact us here.

It was another great week with our local celebrities, David Ackroyd, John Dunnigan, and Jungle Jack Hanna. The week started off on Tuesday with Lights! Camera! Ackroyd! where Jungle Jack made a special appearance to talk television with David about his upcoming new series Into the Wild. This week David delved into "Bad Career Moves," and Jack was up to his usual animal antics while also discussing his "bad career moves." Back by popular demand, Jerry Clemmens was John Dunnigan's guest on Thursday. During the show an old friend called in, all the way from Austin, Texas to say "hi" to his friend Jerry. Jerry was in prime form with great tunes, crazy jokes and commentary. David, John, and Jack are all available 24/7, on demand.

The Big Fish will be out and about in Whitefish this weekend as Ross Strauser MC's the Two Bear Marathon. Come out and cheer on over 120 runners from all over the world as they participate in this 26.2 mile run. For more on this story, visit our news page where you can hear an interview with Brad Seaman, Co-Director of the event. Hope to see you at the race!
