The highlight for many people this weekend will be the Malmstrom Open House and Air Show, featuring the return of the Canadian Snowbirds aerial demonstration team. Welcome back, Snowbirds. You’ve been in our collective thoughts since last year, and it is great to have you back in Great Falls to amaze and thrill our community.
On a more terrestrial note, don’t forget that the annual “Spay-ghetti” dinner will be held tomorrow night to raise money for The Animal Foundation’s spay & neuter programs. For more details, call 454-1720. And in related news, don’t forget that the newly-formed “Diamonds In The Ruff” will be conducting an “adopt-a-thon” on Saturday at PetCo.
MORE: got an e-mail from Alan, a local racing fan:
“…there will be Sprint cars at the local track tonight and tomorrow night. Sprints are the fastest cars on the track, they hit a top speed of over 100mph on the straight stretch. There will be cars from Canada and the USA; the race is called the ‘Can Am Challenge’.”
More details at the Electric City Speedway site. Thanks Alan!
For fans of a more literary bent, Mary Strachan Scriver (also know as prairiemary) will be at Barnes and Noble at 2 pm Saturday to sign her new biographical memoir of her former husband, sculptor Bob Scriver. Titled “Bronze: Inside and Out,” it is a wonderful book, whether you are a fan of sculpture or not. Great insights into Montana and art history. I recommend it.
As we all head out for a day of fun remember your sunscreen! it’s going to be HOT!!!
