Dig Rotary Day

Let’s Play with the Big Toys and Build a Splash Pad!

Have you ever wanted to ride a big Dozer? Well here’s your chance at Dig Rotary Day!

The Kalispell Rotary Noon and Daybreak Clubs are excited to bring back to our community “Dig Rotary Day” – a fun-filled event the whole community will “dig.” The date will be Saturday, June 11, 2022, from 10 – 3 at Hwy 93 and Rose Crossing. Get ready to pack up the family for a great day! Participants will have the thrill of exploring and getting hands-on with heavy construction equipment such as excavators, graders, and bulldozers.

Dig Rotary Day Details

Price:

Entrance fee for the event is $5 per person and $20 for a family of 5 or more.

The Benefit:

Your generosity will have double benefits, as all event proceeds will go to the design and construction of a community splash pad along the new Parkline Trail in Kalispell.

So what’s a splash pad? A splash pad is a recreation area, often in a public park, for water play that has little or no standing water. This is said to eliminate the need for lifeguards or other supervision, as there is little risk of drowning. Typically, there are ground nozzles that spray water upwards out of the splash pad’s rain deck and above ground water features such as a rainbow (semicircular pipe shower), or mushroom or tree-shaped showers.

The Daybreak and Noon Rotary Clubs of Kalispell intend to work closely with the City of Kalispell and the residents of Kalispell to design and build a splash pad along the new proposed Kalispell Trail through downtown.

Becoming a Sponsor:

The Flathead Valley business community has always provided generous support for local events and causes. Rotary’s mission is Service Above Self. We make a difference together through our charitable donations and volunteer service. Kalispell Rotary Clubs would be honored to have your support as a Dig Rotary Day Sponsor. Learn more – HERE.

About the Bigfork Summer Playhouse

The Bigfork Summer Playhouse was founded in 1960 by Dr. Firman ‘Bo’ Brown and his wife Margery Hunter Brown as a place for University of Montana theatre students to perform in the summer. In 1964, Brown hired Don Thomson as a technician and the following season, Don encouraged Jude (Judy) Irvin to join the BSP crew as the piano player. Don and Jude were married in the fall of 1965 and later acquired the theatre in 1968. While both of Don and Jude’s sons earned degrees in the entertainment business and have worked at BSP in past summers, the eldest, Brach, joined Don and Jude as one of the owners and producers of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse in 2001.
