Correction - Foundation purchase amount of Deer Country Quilts building higher than $50,000
SEELEY LAKE - The Pathfinder erroneously reported that the Seeley Lake Community Foundation will purchase the building that previously housed Deer Country Quilts from Pam and Loren Rose for $50,000. According to SLCF Vice President Kevin Wetherell, the Foundation will be purchasing the building with a combination of $215,000 and a charitable contribution of equity from the Roses equivalent to $200,000.
The $50,000 dollar fundraising goal set last Sunday night’s banquet will be applied as additional equity in order to secure the necessary financing to complete the $215,000 bargain sale purchase price.

Swan Valley Community Library Highlights
Swan Valley - Summer is winding down but there is still cooler weather to look forward to and a chance to hike in the valley and learn about the flora and fauna of the area. There are many books available in the library that describe hikes in the Swan and nearby areas. There is also a whole section of books covering local history along with Montana biographies, historical and geological books.
The monthly book chat will meet Friday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. to talk about “Proof of Heaven” by Eben Alexander, M.D. Come in to the Swan Valley Library for your copy.
A work of nonfiction, “Proof of Heaven” was written by a neurosurgeon whose rare illness attacked his brain and completely shut it down. Alexander was in a coma for seven days and then came back which was touted as a medical miracle. He is able to tell of his spiritual journey which in many ways matches the many before him who reported their “near death experiences.” Before his journey he denied any belief in heaven, God or the soul partly because of his knowledge of neuroscience. After his experience and writing his book he relates that all is real and that death is not the end but a transition.
Swan Valley Library is open Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. The library is located next to the Swan Valley Community Hall in Condon.
