Welcome to the 2nd Annual Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival! Last year’s inaugural event was a greater success than ever imagined from that first casual dream. We came away many lessons learned and many new friends including Patrick Durnin of Clan Cian, the Saskatchewan Pipe & Drum Association, Scottish American Athletic Association, Garrett Middelton, Montana Gaelic Cultural Society, Elizabeth Coyle of the Spokane Valley Highland Dancers, Beth Foster of the Shining Thistles. Red McWilliams, a great many clan representatives, vendors, musicians, and athletes, who have all given such great support and their participation to make that dream become a reality.

We are grateful to Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital for their sponsorship support and pleased that Kristina Bessenyey, a paramedic with Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital and descendant of Marcus Daly, is one of our Chieftains of the Games. We also welcome Gary MacLaren, Montana State Representative for District 89 as a Chieftain of the Games. We sincerely

thank the people of the Bitterroot Valley who helped and attended last year's festival. We are pleased we can once again bring a festival of this nature to you this year.

To those of you new to gatherings such as this — enjoy your step back in time on the grounds of the Daly Mansion and take advantage of the self-guided Mansion tour that is included with your tickets. Watch the many demonstrations including the exciting medieval equestrian performances by the Order of Epona. Visit the clans to make new friends and possibly find known or unknown relatives. Get together with old friends. Thrill to the competitions of athletes, bagpipes, drums and dancers. Enjoy listening to live music and do not miss Saturday evening’s concert featuring Potcheen.

Discover the Scottish Irish spirit that dwells in all of us.

Dancing CompetitionsHighland DancingHighland dancing, one of the oldest folk dance styles may be named after legends, famous people historical events and even inspired by a piping tune. In early times, Scottish kings and chiefs would watch men compete. Those that showed great stamina and agility were chosen for the armies.

Nowadays, women also compete with the men in many categories: Solo, National dances, Twosomes and Sets. National dance may include the Sword Dance that was danced either before or after battle; the Highland Fling, which expresses the joy at the end of a victorious battle; the Seann Triubhas representing throwing off the hated trousers when a ban on wearing kilts was repealed; The Flora in honor of Flora MacDonald who saved Bonnie Prince Charlie; and the hornpipe, which tells the tale of a day in the life of a sailor.

Highland dancers are judged on three major criteria: timing, technique, and interpretation/overall deportment. Timing is judged on the dancer's ability to follow the rhythm of the music. Technique is judged on correct execution of the steps along with movements of the rest of the body, including head, arm and hands. Artistic interpretation covers that essential element of all dance and artistry in general which cannot be quantified or reduced to any set of rules or specific points, but which does concern the ability of the dancer or performer to convey a sense of feeling, understanding, and appreciation of the art form. Additionally, the dancer is judged on jumping height and their overall confidence.

There are many groups and organizations that oversee Highland dancing. These groups establish criteria for the dances and scoring systems. Each dancer starts with 100 points. Points are then subtracted for any mistakes or poor execution. Dancers are ranked from most to least points, and medals and points are given based on the number of dancers in the class.

Irish DanceIrish dance can be divided into social and performance dances. Social dances include céilí and set dancing. Irish set dances are danced by 4 couples in a square, while céilí dances are different formations of 2 to 16 people. Irish dance gained great popularity due to the world-famous show Riverdance, known for its stepdancing, with rapid leg and foot movements while the body and arms are kept largely stationary. Competitive dances are mostly solo dancers, however many stepdancers also perform and compete in céilí dances. The solo stepdance is characterized by a controlled but not rigid upper body, straight arms, and quick, precise movements of the feet. The solo dances can either be in soft shoe or hard shoe. Irish Dancing was also later influenced by dance forms from Europe, especially the Quadrille.

Irish Dance competition is judged similarly to Highland Dance. Scores tend to be in the 60-95 point range, and can vary depending upon the judge. Each competition is judged in its entirety by the same judge(s), however the relative placing of each dancer is more important. Placing is based entirely on a single judge’s subjective opinion in individual

competition. Ties are common, and can result in slightly skewed final results. For instance, a tie at 2nd place would result in the 4th best dancer receiving 3rd place thus giving 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd places instead of 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th.

Preliminary and Open Championship competitions are judged by at least 3 judges. Regional, National and World (Oireachtas) competitions can have 5 or more judges. The scores of 3 dances are combined to determine overall placing with an additional method of scoring used. Each judge derives a final placing from their own scoring. Ties are discouraged but do happen. Each placing from 1st to 50th are assigned an Irish Point Value and when combined with the other judges, determines final placing. The Irish Points per individually judged place are vaguely logarithmic giving higher marks by single judges more weight than average marks by more judges.

The Festival welcomes the Missoula Irish Dancers, Grooves Irish Zumba Dancers, and the many students of Miss Elizabeth’s Highland Dance School.

Dance CoordinatorThe Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival welcomes back Elizabeth Coyle as its dance judge again this year. Elizabeth moved to the United States from Renfrew, Scotland in 1982. She owns a small Scottish Highland Dance school in Spokane. Elizabeth's students have won many championships including Northwest Regional and US Inter-Regional. Highland and Irish Dance take many hours of practice and a lot of dedication on the part of the dancer, parents and teacher to become a successful competitor. Many such talented dancers will be competing at the Bitterroot Games.

Highland GamesThe origins of Scottish Highland Games are vague, but they have been in existence for thousands of years. One belief is that Kings and Clan Chiefs used the games to select and recruit staff for their entourages and armies. Having competitions helped to keep men-at-arms and camp followers out of trouble as well as impress rivals with the strength and skill of one’s men. Another belief stems from the various invader occupations of Scotland, when anything Scottish was banned, including kilts, tartans and weapons, to prevent further uprisings. The games imitated farm life while disguising the fact that men were training for war. These continued as trials of strength, speed, agility and

skill at the various religious fairs, military musters and cattle fairs from medieval through early modern Scotland. Memories of these gatherings were brought to America by our Scottish ancestors. It wasn’t long before games sprang up in our own country.

Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival competitions are sanctioned by the Scottish American Athletic Association. Local and out of town athletes alike are encouraged to participate. Each event is scored individually (much like Track and Field), and the athletes can sometimes win medals or other prizes in multiple events. For more information, please go to www.SAAAIdaho.org

Hammers — The Scots’ hammer has a shaft made of cane or PVC pipe, an overall length of 50 inches and comes in 16 pound and 22 pound weights. They

are thrown standing, with the athlete winding them several times around the head, and releasing them straight behind the thrower.

Weight for Distance — This graceful athletic event uses a weight consisting of a ball on a chain thrown with one hand in a combination of balance, rhythm and power.

Weight Over Bar — The Athletes throw a 56, 28, or 42 pound weight, usually with a ring attached. Each athlete is allowed three attempts to clear a height before the bar is raised. The victor is the thrower who clears the highest bar.

Stone Throws — There are two categories. Braemar competitor throw a 24-28 pound stone from a stationary position. Open Stone, competitors throw a 16-20 pound stone with an approach similar to the Olympic shot put.

Cabers — The caber is a long pole held at the narrower end, while its thicker, more unwieldy end points skyward. Once the athlete lifts it, they run forward, stop and heave it end over end. The competitors strive for accuracy, trying for the perfect “twelve o’clock” toss where the caber lands dead straight ahead with its narrow end pointing away from the athlete.

Competition Classes:

Women — Our talented women athletes

Novice — Anyone new to the sport

Amateur A, B, and C — Each based on skill level

Pipes & Drums CompetitionsBagpipes are a strong image of Scottish culture both playing solemn laments and leading armies to war.

For centuries pipe bands were considered instruments of war and an essential element in many military regiments. Their sound cut through the din of battle and was heard for miles, intimidating enemies, and inspiring comrades. The music of the pipes tells tales of glorious battles, lost love, and sad defeats. To this day they are still an integral part of many military parade traditions. The traditional Scottish pipe band consists of a section of pipers playing the Great Highland Bagpipes, a section of snare drummers, several tenor drummers, and one or possibly two bass drummers. The music is usually from the Scottish, Irish and Breton traditions and consists of folk tunes and dances. In recent times new and more contemporary compositions have become part of the mix. The pipes provide haunting melody and harmonies while the drum corps’ snare drums provides support to the pipes in the form of a solid foundation of rhythm and pulse as well as adding their own counterpoint. The bass or mid section, consisting of the tenor and bass drummers, provide rhythmic support to the whole ensemble. s.Every year, from spring through fall, pipe bands compete at various venues throughout the world, often at highland festivals. The BSIF’s Competition is sanctioned by the Saskatchewan Pipe Band Association. Bands are judged individually against other bands as well as the pipers and drummers being judged individually.

Our JudgesRichard Wilson took chanter lessons in Scotland from the late Pipe Major Charlie O’Brien BEM (Seaforths). He competed at all the major solo events in the North of Scotland for eight years. He received his level 5 Piping Certificate after immigrating to Canada and took lessons with Pipe

Major Alec Cupples (Gordon’s). Richard won the PPBAM Grade 1 Champion Supreme Award every year while in Manitoba, and was the Pipe Sergeant of the RCHA Pipes and drums. While in Ontario he took lessons from Michael Grey and played with the Toronto Police P.B. Richard is now a Professional solo piper and competes with the City of Regina Pipe Band.

Tim Boan, originally from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, began with the White Hackle Optimist Pipe Band in 1979. After high school he joined the Victoria Park Pipe Band, a grade one band. Tim had the opportunity to play with some excellent drummers, Roland Reid, Rob Gardner, Dave Bihun, Bruce Lutz, and Rob Waugh. While attending University of Saskatchewan, he played with the Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band and led the drum corps for thirteen years. As lead drummer, Tim guided the band to a 7th place finish in the 2001 World Championships. He has earned drumming awards and championships across Western Canada and is currently a consultant for the Edmonton Public School District.

Alex Macintyre of Sherwood Park, Alberta has competed successfully as a solo piper and member of several pipe bands. He was pipe major of Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band for 10 years. He was instructed by many renowned pipers over the years in both light music and preaching. Alex also taught for 7 years at Coeur d 'Alene, Idaho’s piping school. He has judged solo and band competitions throughout Canada and the United States over the last 25 years.

He travels far and wide to sing, play and share his love of Scottish and Irish culture and history, keeping his calendar full. Always ready to play at the drop of a hat (with some loose change in it) Red moves from ballads to bawdy, from patriotic to parody, historical to hysterical — punctuating his performance with off-the-wall comments, jokes, ribald humor and snide remarks caused by something in his nature that drives him to entertain his audiences. Red strongly encourages participation and has been known to get people from the crowd to sing a song, tell a story, dance, or just sing along. Basically, whatever entertains them.

We are delighted to have Red back as Master of Ceremonies for our second annual Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival. His breadth and depth of knowledge simply cannot be matched. He has become a wonderful friend to all involved in the festival as his affable nature and laid-back demeanor are a natural fit in the Bitterroot Valley.

The Bisceglia Family The Bisceglia Family sings a delightful mix of Scottish songs and patriotic ballads, Irish melodies, country music favorites, contemporary American folk, and, of course, the title piece of their debut album, Journey Through the Highlands, an award-winning instrumental written by Krista Bisceglia. Sisters Sarah, Janna, Krista, and Kathrina (known as the Whispering Roses) form the core of the band with a beautiful fusion of piano, harp, recorders, violin, and voice. The rest of the family rounds out the sound with added voices, guitar and even a limberjack!

TraTraTraTraTraTraTraTraTraTra le GaelWestern Montana fans of Celtic music will recognize the sounds of Tra le Gael from the Flathead Valley. The group members met through a Celtic music class at North Valley Music School in Whitefish, Montana. They’ve been busy ever since, performing at folk and Irish music festivals, private parties and weddings and giving local shows. Each member plays a number of instruments and share vocal duties to make the Celtic genre their own. Their harmonies carry through traditional and contemporary Irish tunes, as well as some original music.

The ShamrockersThe ShamRockers of Polson have become more than just a vocally-driven Irish quintet. Their particular brand of high-spritied entertainment has made them renowned goodwill ambassadors for Montana. The band includes Liam O’Leary -vocals, guitar, bizouki; Robby Flynn – vocals, guitar; Mick Houlihan- vocals, whistle, guitar, harmonica; Nels O’Connell – vocals, guitar, banjo; and Paddy Doyle – vocals, fiddle, mandolin, bodhran. These men lend rich vocal harmonies to a varied repertoire of ballads, sea shanties, rebel anthems and comic songs accompanied by a wide range of traditional instruments. Their shows have been called “too much fun!”

PotcheenPotcheen (pronounced Poishin), Colorado’s Premiere Celtic Pirate Folk-Punk Rock Band, will provide musical entertainment on the main stage throughout the festival and will be Saturday evening’s featured after hours concert.

Saturday NightPotcheen Concert

Potcheen (pronounced Poishin), Colorado’s Premiere Celtic Pirate Folk-Punk Rock Band, will be Saturday evening’s featured concert. Potcheen is the Irish word for illegal moonshine, the raw whiskey that comes from an illicit still, and this music is as raw and real as it gets. The band plays pub standards, favored by every Irish band to hoist a pint, but they play them with energy, enthusiasm, and expertise. Formed in 2003, Potcheen has been touring nationally, fusing Irish music with bluegrass, rock and punk into pirate and drinking songs. They have been listed in the Denver Post underground music poll “Top 100 Bands in Colorado” from 2005 – 2011. Members Christian Blochinger on drums, Manuel Nuñez on bouzouki, Laura Quam on fiddle, Melissa Ivey on guitar, and Ryan Waller on bass deliver some of the finest Celtic rock you’re ever likely to encounter.

Just like the moonshine whiskey they are named after, with its impurities and occasional dangerous levels of toxic alcohols, these Colorado Celtic pirates have scorched the throats of crowds from New York to San Francisco with one helluva’ kick. Since 2003 their success has continued unabated, even surviving a near fatal bus crash in 2009. They have produced five albums and performed over two thousand shows. Potcheen delivers rapid high energy shows mixing Celtic Traditional with flavors of Bluegrass, Zydeco, Punk, Jam, Blues, and Rock all rolled up with a Pirate Sensibility. What doesn't kill em just makes em stronger!

They perform live, costumed, medieval period skits and stunts on horseback including jousting and live steel sword fighting.

Come ye lords and ladies, knights and knaves, witches and warlocks to a place where imagination comes alive. See fair damsels rescued by brave heroes. Listen to the enchanting music while being enthralled by fairies. Perhaps if one believes you may even find a dragon or unicorn around the bend.

Flowers of the ForestDuring Saturday’s 12 PM Opening Ceremonies, we will remember the Flowers of the Forest (individuals and loved ones who have passed away during the last year) while the massed bagpipe bands play Amazing Grace. All are invited to add a name of a loved one at the Admissions Tent.

CéilidhIn Irish, it is céilí, in Scottish Gaelic it is céilidh, both prounounced “Kay-lee.” It means a party with music, dancing, and often storytelling. The Old Irish word céilide (from céile servant, companion, neighbor) meant visit. Early céilidhs were places young people could court in rural parts of Ireland and Scotland. Now these gatherings can be held at a home, pub, or during a festival. They mix modern music and dance with Celtic. Attire ranges from formal highland to informal. Dances are usually set dances or couple dances and alternate with songs, poetry recitals, story telling and other types of party pieces. Musicians gather to jam, playing an assortment of guitar, fiddle, flute, tin whistle, accordion, bodhrán and drums. Basic dance steps can be learned from a short instructional session before the dances. Entertainment will be emceed

by America’s Celt, Red McWilliams and includes local favorites the Celtic Knots, Irish storyteller Nanny O’Reilly, and the Missoula Contra Dancers. A Ceilidh always has surprises and anyone wishing to tell a tale or sing is encouraged to join the fun. Welcome our honored dignitaries, returning clansmen and new arrivals! It is guaranteed to be a relaxed, fun, enjoyable, and entertaining evening for all!

Kirkin’ o’ the TartanSunday morning, under the big tent, local Pastors Nathan Saunders and Eric Campbell will deliver the Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan service. Nathan stepped up to the challenge last year and we are blessed to have him join us again. The Kirkin’ is a Scottish American service steeped in Scottish heritage. It was first created by Peter Marshall (1935 - 1949), famed pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and delivered on Sunday evening, April 27, 1941, in Washington, D.C. Rev. Marshall later served as Chaplain to the United States Senate from 1947 to 1949. His Kirkin’ service sought to raise funds to both aid Scottish churches during the early days of World War II, and provide a mobile kitchen for the British war effort. This initial, simple Kirkin’ service later evolved into what is today many Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan services held throughout the USA, including an annual service that has been held at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC since 1954.

Award Winning Meads and Wines from local Ingredients

Stop by our booth at the festival and sample our wines!

The King’s MeadKnown in Greek mythology as nectar of the gods, mead became the exclusive drink of royalty. Our King’s Mead captures the qualities that inspired centuries of poetry, legend, and song. $12.95

The King’s PymentWith the advent of white sugar after 1500 AD, honey became scarce in Europe so grapes were added to the mead to stretch the honey. Pyment was born! Enjoy the rich traditional flavors of grape and honey in our King’s Pyment. $12.95

Dark MeadA direct descendant of our most popular mead, this robust yet semi-dry wine is made from a darkened honey that produces rich tones and clearly defined layers of flavor. Hidden Legend Dark Mead complements heartier meat dishes, wild game, rich ethnic meals, spicy foods, and chocolate. Best served either slightly chilled or at room temperature. $13.95

Wild Elderberry MeadThis delicious elderberry mead has a subtle port-like quality that makes it perfect for sipping and for complementing chocolate or sharp cheese. Elderberry wine was said to be the favorite of Hippocrates (father of medicine) and the early pioneers of Montana. Best served slightly chilled. $15.95

Pure Honey MeadHidden Legend Pure Honey Mead is a tastefully contemporary version of man’s oldest wine. Crafted in the style of a semi-dry table wine, it captures the flavor of honey without being too sweet. Enjoy it by itself or as a complement to grilled fish, roast pork, and spicy Asian or Mexican. Made exclusively from pure Montana honey. Best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. $12.95

Spiced MeadSpiced Mead has a special place in the history of many cultures. The coveted recipes were carefully guarded by vintners who were

members of the clergy. Our winemaker has taken this festive favorite and created a delightfully modern version that can be heated with a stick of cinnamon, poured over ice, with a sprig of mint, or enjoyed by itself. This wine complements turkey or pork, and is best served slightly chilled. $13.95

Maple MeadHoney and Maple, bees and trees. Nature simply meant some things to go together. That is why we have blended 100% pure maple syrup with thick, smooth Montana honey. The result is a dark enchanting flavor with distinctive maple flourishes in the finish. Enjoy our Maple Mead by itself or experiment with meals. $14.95

The Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival committee is pleased to announce that the chief of Clan Cian, Chief Frederick A. J. O'Carroll, the O'Carroll of Eile O'Carroll, Ard Tiarna, Prince and High Chief Eile, will be in attendance this year. The Honored Clan for 2011 is the Irish Clan Cian (Kee-yan).

Clan Cian was founded and recognized by the late F. J. O'Carroll, of Éile O'Carroll, Chief of the Name. Fredrick Arthur O'Carroll, has since assumed the mantle of Chief of the Name with the backing of his Council of Chieftains. Chief Fred, descends from the ancient Kings and Princes of Éile O'Carroll. The Kingdom

of Éile (Ely) resides in the heart of south-central Ireland. The O'Carroll is a recognized member of the Standing Council of Irish Chiefs and Chieftains. Not all of the current recognized Chiefs on the Standing Council live in Ireland, The O'Carroll, the Chief of Clan Cian, currently resides in the United States.

Clan Cheiftain Attending

The name Cianachta in Irish means "of the Race of Cian," and so, Clan Cian in modern English. The Cianachta were recognized as a racial group in ancient Ireland and now called again to assemble

as a clan in these modern times. Clan Cian is dedicated to the preservation of the Éile O'Carroll Territory including the Kingdom of Éile and the O'Carroll family and all related families histories. The

clan represents the O'Carroll/Carroll families and also includes all of the related family septs and dependent family septs of Éile O'Carroll, other parts of Ireland, and worldwide. Clan Cian has an appointed Council of Chieftains and Clan Officers that preside over certain designated regional areas appointed by The O'Carroll, Chief of Éile O'Carroll and Clan Cian.

Historically according to Edward McLysaght the first Chief Herald of the newly formed Republic of Ireland,

the term "clan" or "clanne" in Ireland refers to the people living within a certain territory, whereas in Scotland a clan is comprised of people of a specific family. In ancient Ireland, the old kingdom of Éile O'Carroll (Éile Ui Cearbhaill) included many family surnames that you find today. Of those families, the powerful O'Carrolls were kings, overlords, and later chiefs of their people. A few of the major families related by blood to the O'Carrolls, which lived within the Kingdom of Éile O'Carroll were the O'Meaghers, O'Caseys, O'Haras, and O'Garas including Hamilton, Montana’s, founder, Copper King Marcus Daly, and his descendants. All of these family surnames and other related septs, are members of the Clan of Cian — the Cianachta.

CommunityCommunityCleaning Up the ‘RootThe Bitterroot Valley is one big community when it comes taking care of their valley. All of the ‘Clean up the Root” sponsors and From River to Ridge magazine invite you to Join your fellow Bitterrooters for the Annual Bitterroot River Clean Up. It is time to get out and make a day of it. Clean the ‘Root on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011 from 10 am – 4 pm.

From Sula and Painted Rocks Lake all the way to Missoula, everyone is welcome and encouraged to help. Put September 10th on your calendar, sign up by calling Don at 363-3146, Choose your favorite stretch of the river and be part of this community effort to restore and enhance the value of the valley’s greatest asset, the Bitterroot River.

When working on the river banks, remember to respect private property – Stay below the high water line. Bring your garbage bags, wear good

gloves, and work together to collect as much debris and trash as fast as you can. There will be conveniently placed receptacles along the way for depositing your “treasure.” Those walking the banks seem to always win the “most collected award” and find the most interesting stuff. Walk or raft, kayak or canoe, the more bodies, the better the river will look at the end of the day and the more fun everyone will have.

At 4:30 pm, the hardworking crew will gather at Angler’s Roost, just south of Hamilton where 93 crosses the Bitterroot River, and become the party crew with a free barbecue and celebration of a job well done.

Contact Don McGourty for more information and to sign up at 363-3146 or [email protected]

From River to Ridge would like to thank the sponsors for making the job more enjoyable.

Flavor to “DRIVE” For!

COWBOY (or GIRL) UP! – Just took on a whole new meaning, not to mention flavor. If you haven’t stopped in Victor for dinner you should. Cowboy Troy’s is going to surprise you. A lot more than just the sign changed when Troy, Renee and Clayton created this restaurant and bar on Highway 93 in Victor.

If you live in the Bitterroot not only will you find your friends enjoying dinner in the restaurant, warming up from the warmth of the wood-fired oven, or having a drink with friends at the bar and listening to live music and dancing, but you will also find locally grown, fresh veggies and produce on your pizza and in your salad. At this time Cowboy Troy’s is proudly using Ayres’ Angus (Stevensville, MT) dry aged beef for the burgers.

The “to drive for” pizzas are baked in their custom designed wood-fired brick oven in authentic Neapolitan fashion. Choose from 15 different specialty pizzas, with 7 different sauce selections or try each of the ten different flavors of chicken wings. Delightful salads, with house-made dressings, and delicious burgers are among the many other specialties the kitchen creates on a whim.

Cowboy Troy’s Catering will bring all of these wonderful flavors and much more to your event. No event is too small or too large, they excell at anything from small office parties or lavish weddings to major events like the Elite Bull Competition in Darby or the U of M Rodeo Finals in Missoula.

Once you have relaxed to a fine, very reasonably priced, dinner or lunch you will feel so good you will want to make your way to the bar for some dancing, singing, and good times with good friends.

$3.00 Margaritas

Trapper Peak Forge, Inc.www.trapperpeakforge.com

406-777-2201

The artists and craftsmen at Trapper Peak Forge have created hand wrought distinctive hardware in Montana since 1994. Originally produced as Hacienda Iron, Trapper Peak Forge now produces a wide range of hardware products and design styles from their Bitterroot Valley Montana forge.

Trapper Peak Forge hardware is available in ten beautiful finishes. Color is attained through a chemical reaction or the application of heat — never painted. It takes a few more steps to achieve color in this way, but Trapper Peak Forge believes it’s worth it. One look at the Fire Blue, Rust, Pewter, Black, Forged Natural, Forged Rust, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Dark Bronze, Forged Oil Rubbed Bronze or Beeswax finish and you’ll feel the same way.

Feel the artistry of the craftsman in every piece of Trapper Peak Forge hardware. From the smallest cabinet knob to full size exterior door pulls, every piece is hand-wrought of mild steel, never molded or cast.

On a cool autumn day in 1841, a small band of travelers made their way along an ancient Indian trail through a valley, now known as the Bitterroot, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. They had come by invitation from the Salish and Nez Perce people: six men in black robes, accompanied by an escort of Indians and guided by frontiersman, Thomas Fitzpatrick. At a signal from their leaders the little band stopped beside the river that traversed the valley. There, on September 24, 1841, Jesuit Father Pierre Jean DeSmet planted a rough-hewn wooden cross on the east bank of the Bitterroot River, thus, establishing the mission which he named St. Mary. Over the years a community, St. Mary Village, developed around the little mission, later the Fort Owen trading post and finally the town we now know as Stevensville. On that day Jesuit Father Nicolas Point observed,

It makes you feel special! Refreshed, rejuvenated, energized, and calming describe the results of using Udderly Fresh Soap products. They are all natural, good for everyone, but loved most by people with dry itchy skin, allergies, or eczema because of the moisturizing qualities which sooth and heal skin. Goat milk contains emollients, vitamins and triglycerides as well as the highly effective and well known moisturizer called capric-capryllic triglyceride. The founders, Charise and Bonnie, needed to create natural healthy products for their families and to find relief for one of their daughters who was suffering from eczema. Perfecting the special blend of goat milk soap and natural lotions changed her life. With each use her skin improved and become amazingly clear. Udderly Fresh grew from this endeavor and they believe their natural products can do the same for you. The specifically chosen pure essential oils in Udderly Fresh herbal soaps will make you feel ready to take on the day. Once you try it, you will simply not want to go back to name brand soaps, lotions and balms. Udderly Fresh creates and sells numerous natural bath and body care products including goat milk soap, shampoo, lotions, laundry soap, lip balm, salt scrub, insect repellent and dryer sachets. Find Udderly Fresh Soap online, at the Hamilton Farmers Market, or at this year’s Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival.

Kris Prather, a native of Stevensville, Montana, had set her goals at a very young age to become a jockey and race at the notorious tracks of Kentucky. She had the good fortune to be mentored by two of the greatest women jockeys in history, Donna Brothers and Julie Krone, the Racing Hall of Fame rider. They offered her guidance and encouraged her to pursue her dream of becoming a jockey. By 2000 Kris was setting records at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky. Kris set high goals and went after them with vigor, she wanted to be the best and was well on her way when her dream was ended by severe injuries in 2004. Fortunately Kris is equally adept in writing and painting. She now funnels her boundless creative energy into these talents. Kris has a wonderful artistic style that mixes both impressionism and realism. She has prints of her work available and also does commissions. Prather also published her first young adult novel, The Horse Tamer’s Niece, that centers around the fast-paced, colorful world of racing and has completed both a mystery and a literary novel which have not yet been published.
