Folks, this year's fundraiser is made possible by everyone that showed up to Cabin Fever Days despite the lack of snow, our sponsors and vendors and one very special member of our community.

Mary Robertson of Hungry Horse Montana passed away on February 19, 2023 shortly after a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic cancer. Mary was a cherished member of our community and absolutely LOVED Cabin Fever Days. On a year we were shaking in our boots hoping to just break even Mary's donation fell into our laps and honestly our team was brought to tears when we realized we would still be able to achieve our goal of donating back to our community.

This year we are donating more than we ever have before thanks to Mary, and we are even adding a new Fire Department to our roster, the Blankenship Volunteer Fire Department!

Total Donation to the community for 2026 is $25,000!

Donation Amounts:
Martin City Fire Department $7,000
Hungry Horse Volunteer Fire Department $7,000
Coram- West Glacier Fire Department $7,000
Blankenship Volunteer Fire Department $1,500
Canyon Community Dinner $1,000
Canyon Clean-up $500
Flathead Sheriff Posse $1,000

These folks are why we do what we do. (Okay, it's also sometimes fun). Stay tuned next week as we finally get to share YOUR donations with all 4 area fire departments!

🚒 Three million visitors pass through Badrock Canyon every summer — and when something goes wrong, it's local volunteers who show up first.

The Coram-West Glacier, Martin City and Hungry Horse volunteer fire departments have joined forces to expand their medical response capabilities, pooling 12 new EMT-trained volunteers for the Canyon QRU.

We have been nominated in a few categories for Best of Columbia Falls to Essex!

Vote for us for Best Columbia Falls Event and Best Non-profit.
Since we aren't TECHNICALLY in Columbia Falls we are also super happy to ask for best non-profit. Winning helps spread the word that we are so much more than just a winter festival, we are a non-profit raising money for the volunteer firefighters of Hungry Horse, Martin-City and Coram-West Glacier!

We are honored for the nomination!

PS: Our President, Ben Shafer, has been nominated for Best Volunteer. 😉

To everyone who showed up for Cabin Fever Days — snow or no snow — thank you.

The true lovers of Cabin Fever Days aren’t fair-weather attendees. You show up, support, and celebrate with us no matter the conditions, and that means more than we can say.

When we realized the snow wasn’t coming and pivoted to the No Snow Barstoool Ski Show, we had no idea what to expect. But once again, our community showed up in the biggest way. The crowds lining Central Avenue and the bars filled to the brim reminded us what this event is really about — coming together, having fun, and raising funds for the volunteer fire departments of Bad Rock Canyon.

A huge thank you as well to our incredible sponsors and vendors whose support, time, and energy help make this event possible year after year.

We couldn’t do it without you, and we’re so grateful to celebrate this incredible community together.
