Helena Montana

Here's what stood out to me with all of these games, and all of these victories. You notice it wasn't simply about getting a trophy. It wasn't about simply being declared a winner. It was about having the chance to EARN IT.

You might not know that Montana also has a thriving distillery scene. We found 20 that you can visit.

"What did you do this weekend?" That's a good water cooler question many of us ask at the office on a Monday, right? It's also the question posed by the Montana Army National Guard.

Well, we're about a month in to the legislative session. So I figured it might be a good time to throw out a question. Have we seen a massive spike in COVID-19 case numbers in Lewis & Clark County, the home county of our state's capitol in Helena?

"COVID starts fires and kills Christmas trees now? Holey moley." That was one reaction to the news that Montana won't have a Christmas tree in the state capitol in Helena this year. Another commenter called it Bullock's "final little FU on the way out the door."

Hundreds of peaceful demonstrators turned out in front of Montana's State Capitol calling for the governor to end the shutdown of small businesses across the state.

Donald Trump, Jr. is coming back to Montana later this week, according to sources I spoke with inside the gubernatorial campaign of Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT). The president's son is planning a hunting trip in state along with attending a fundraiser in support of Gianforte's gubernatorial bid.

A group of Montana soldiers will soon be headed overseas on a military deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, and Operation Spartan Shield.

Helena author Joan Bird wants to believe. She spoke to a crowd of about 45 people Wednesday at the Western Heritage Center about her book, “Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials.” The zoologist and biologist with a doctorate degree is scheduled to speak again at noon Thursday at the same location, in a talk sponsored by Humanities Montana....
