BIG SKY – When you donate at Moonlight Basin’s upcoming food drive, you can help support the community and ski for free.
During the sixth annual Turkey for a Ticket food drive, individuals, businesses and season pass holders can earn free lift tickets by donating a frozen turkey or 20 cans of food. The drive will be held Friday, Dec. 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Madison Village base area.
In one day, Turkey for a Ticket generates more donations than any other single event for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Last year it raised more than 18,000 pounds of food, and organizers hope to raise at least 20,000 pounds this year.
Since the inaugural year in 2007, Turkey for a Ticket has collected a cumulative total of 77,893 pounds for the food bank, which serves the greater Gallatin Valley.
This year’s donations will be shared with the new Big Sky Community Food Bank, a satellite office of the GVFB, making it easier to serve the needs of Big Sky locals, according to Tim Trzinski, program director for GVFB.
Everyone who donates will receive a discount at the Moonlight Mercantile on the day of the event and will also be eligible to win a 2012-13 Moonlight Basin midweek season pass. The drawing will be held at Headwaters Grille at 1:30 p.m. the day of the food drive.
Non-pass holders making donations will receive a free lift ticket valid on Dec. 14 only. Moonlight Basin or Biggest Skiing in America pass holders will receive a transferable voucher redeemable for a full-day adult lift ticket valid through Jan. 31, 2013. Holiday blackout dates apply.
Moonlight and GVFB encourage employees to make donations on behalf of their workplace. Transferable vouchers will be given for every turkey or 20 pounds of food donated. Businesses must make one-time bulk donations equaling no less than 80 pounds and no more than 800 pounds to receive vouchers.
Pass holders and businesses can also donate to the food drive at Albertsons in Bozeman, from 7 to 11 a.m. on Dec. 14.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
