A community movement to help the businesses that make the Mission Valley not just survive, but thrive.
Love Local Lake County is a community initiative highlighting the local businesses, events, and organizations across the valley.
Through seasonal campaigns like the Shop Hop, community highlights, and shared promotion, we turn online engagement into real-world visits, one stamp, one shop, one neighbor at a time.
Shine a light on the shops that make the valley worth exploring.
Keep our dollars, jobs, and character right here at home.
Build a year-round movement, not just a once-a-season event.
The Shop Hop is the big, exciting event, but the work doesn't stop there. Year-round, Love Local features a business of the month, shares the shops worth knowing, and grows a community of locals who put their dollars where their heart is.
Love Local is a project of Positively Unabashed Events & Creations, Jessica Dauterive's Polson-based community marketing and creative studio. Helping Montana shops, nonprofits, and neighbors get seen is her everyday work, and Love Local is where it goes community-wide. Same belief behind all of it: when we lift local, we all rise.
