If GlacierFest were a house party, then the full-time and part-time residents of Alice and St. Mary’s would be the hosts. And even with Saturday’s continual rain, their spirit of hospitality didn’t diminish.
“It’s for the whole county — not necessarily for us (locals),” organizer Alicia Walsh said. “… This is to bring the community together to have a nice day out.”
The festival returned to Silver Lake this year, complete with food stands, local vendors and exhibits, musical acts, the second annual Ore Cart Races and a pet/owner look-alike contest. The community had hosted GlacierFest for many years until the late 1980s, and then held it in 2013 through 2015. It returned last year after a two-year hiatus.
