  • Wonderful Experience

    Aug 17, 2022

    Dear Editor, Hello, I felt it was necessary to take the time to say that as we passed through your town on our way back from Minnesota to Alberta my buddies and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful, well kept, and welcoming your town was.

  • Nursing Home

    Aug 17, 2022

    Dear Editor, I had hoped that this letter would not have to [be] written but the problem at the nursing home does not seem to be going away. The need to spend county money is all caused by one man, Governor Gianforte. Jan. 20, 2022 I met with the Governor's people and asked for help since Medicaid was only paying about 60 percent of the cost of keeping residents in the nursing home. The normal rate was 95 percent. Almost all the department heads are from out of state, and I thought they had...

  • Fair Memories

    Gwen Cornwell, For the Courier|Aug 17, 2022

    Remember the days when you went to the night show at the NE MT Fair with a jacket and maybe a blanket. That definitely was not the case this year. Maybe you remember when they held the Fair in Sept. I think about 4-H and FFA exhibitors and wondered how they handled their livestock projects when school was in session. The Fair must have been a very well supported by the community. Remember the Open Class livestock exhibits. I was told that one year there was a raffle held on a Tennessee Walker horse. The best part is that it apparently was won...
