A group of Montana photographers is getting together to benefit Headwaters Montana, a non-profit organization working to protect the Flathead and Elk Valley watersheds, the Glacier and Waterton Parks and the Crown of the Continent ecosystem.

This fund raiser, titled “Wild Places — A Celebration of Montana’s Wilderness Heritage,” features the work of some 13 photographers by my count and has an interesting hook: Each photogrpher has donated a piece to be raffled off. There will also be a slide show of their collected works.

The big event is Friday, March 11, at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. Admission is $10. Raffle tickets are $5 for one, $20 for five or $50 for 20. There will also be an artists’ reception, appetizers, adult beverages and the above-mentioned slide show. Call 837-0783 or 862-0438 for more information.
