CHOUTEAU COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS
The long-waited Pub Night is upon us. Preparations are falling into place and the Chouteau County Performing Arts Board will be ready and waiting.
I was able to travel to Chinook last Thursday and visit with the Chinook newspaper office. Randy Morger (my stepson) made the trip to proof read the performing arts booklet that you receive when you attend a performance. You can keep it to refer to at home or you can just pick up one each show.
It was amazing watching Randy go over the booklet. I always knew what went into the booklet but never would I have guessed the work. I would like all of you show-goers to study the booklet carefully. Note all the sponsors that support C.C.P.A. When you frequent their businesses, be sure to thank them. Without them, there would be no C.C.P.A. They are the backbone of our community. They are so generous whenever called on with donations for every event that goes on. (Only in a small town!)
GOLDEN AGE CENTER
Last Sunday the Golden Age Senior Center resumed Sunday dinners. It was great news for many Senior’s although there were conflicting events going on. The Center was up against “What-the-Jay,” a Church event, and the Rocky Highfill fund raiser in Great Falls.
So spread the word around about the Sunday dinners and I’ll see you there next Sunday.
A welcome note from Mary Lee reminds everyone about the Tuesday night dinner next week the 18th. She asks that you not forget the date and the time is 5:00 p.m. The HEADS-UP about this dinner is that there will be a presentation by the owners of the new assisted living complex in Fort Benton Young and old should be interested in this subject.
Call in your reservations @ 622-3601 or stop by the Center. The cost is $7.00 for a delicious full meal. See you there.
BUS/VAN NEWS
Actually, there isn’t any news. The Commissioners are still looking for VOLUNTEERS to drive the vehicle. They would like four volunteers to they would drive only once a month.
The newly painted bus is sitting somewhere around the Court House just waiting to be filled with those who need a ride to Great Falls. Being in that position myself, I know how valuable a service like that would be. I have twice a year appointment with my dentist and even more often with my hearing tech. I have friends in nursing homes that I would like to visit. I am sure that there are many more of you readers that have errands that can only be taken care of in Great Falls. I hope we do not have to wait too long.
ROCKY FUND RAISER
A small world story happened to me on Sunday. I sat at a table with two couples from Canada and another woman. I asked the women from Canada how they happened to come to Rocky’s fund raiser. One of the husbands knew Rocky from a trail ride that they do every year. The two couples also knew the other woman who told me she was from Big Sandy and told her Canadian friends about the afternoon event. She directed her comments to me saying that she is a good friend of Valerie’s. She also said that she reads the View every week. Now who could not like a person like that? So I would like to say hello to Thelma and the next time she comes to Fort Benton to call me and we can have coffee and conversation.
FRONT STREET
I have very little news about the hard-topping of Front Street. It has been ready for that process for several weeks. What little I could check on was that the company who was hired to do the work have been very busy. (So what else is new? Everybody is busy.) I have learned I just have to be patient.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR TROOPS, POLICE OFFICERS, FIRE FIGHTERS, and EMT’S.
WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS.
