Putting the “Great” in Great Falls

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Back in 2006, the Trib released the results of a “What Makes Great Falls So Great?” survey; I blogged about it back then, but in light of the current conversation, it might pay to re-visit some of the replies: Great People: 129 Local Parks: 52 River Running Through the City: 52 Rivers Edge Trail: 52 Arts & Culture: 51 Education/Schools: 48 Hunting/Fishing/Outdoor Activities: 47 City Size: 45 Big Blue Sky: 42 Natural Beauty/Nature: 29 So our community has some...

Father’s Day

On Father’s Day, we appreciate all of the things that dear ol’ dad has done for us: life lessons, wisdom, trips together, hunting, shared jokes, and such.

Alive @ Five Pix

Good turnout, too – the place was packed! (click ‘em to big ‘em!) And I plunked down $5 to get an official “Alive @ Five” hat!
