Have you strolled through the Columbia Falls Farmer’s Market, visited Discovery Square, or hiked the Kreck Riverwalk Trail? Have you ever wondered what makes these things possible? 
Wonder no more! Introducing First Best Place membership: now you can help make Columbia Falls the amazing place it is by becoming a member of the First Best Place. Supporters like you make it possible for us to do things like build trails, promote local business, and develop a community center in downtown Columbia Falls. Now you can contribute to our support base while enjoying a variety of membership perks. Individuals or businesses can choose from four different levels of support, starting at $25.00 annually for individuals and $250.00 annually for businesses.
“Many people have asked why we don’t have a membership program,” said Hilary Hutcheson, First Best Place President. “We have been working behind the scenes to fundraise for key projects, but we haven’t ever come right out to the community and asked for a consistent commitment to help fund all the programs we offer for free. So, we realize that as we grow, we need to build that small-but-steady and stable funding base rather than rely on the larger donations. We are extending an invitation to the entire community to join the effort. For as little as $25/year, you can make a difference and show your pride for this great community.”
