I spent a lot of time working in the I'D panhandle. Most of these towns don't have 2 nickels to rub together. Taxes are low and basic services cost a fortune due to crazy roads and tough winters. We could all throw a $100 together and make a huge (for them) donation to the McCall food bank or senior center. We could round up a bunch of seniors and give them rides and probably learn some history. Bring a couple hundred $ worth of school supplies and give to the school. (I had to put that in, my wife's a teacher). They will love us forever if we show up and give back a little. Just some thoughts...
here is another way to look at a group, like the snow catters
these traveling road shows come to town and they rent hotel rooms, eat out at restaurants and almost always leave pretty good tips, buy gas, lift tickets and rent skis at the ski area, lots of beer, tires, winter clothing, shop at the local stores, pay user fees, and buy art work, all this, is a good way to help the community at large, spend money that stays in the local economy.
I am for doing good for others, that does take organization to make that happen, so, maybe, if the party that organizes mccall, follows through and sets up a one fee to pay for all the events, then they could add an extra 25 dollars per package to make a donation to a worthy cause
