Streets to close for 2 downtown festivals

Havre City Council Tuesday gave its OK to two street closings for community festivals in coming months.

The Hill County Health Department will hold its annual Lil’ Shots Carnival Friday, Aug. 12, and asked that 4th Avenue from 3rd to 4th streets be blocked off so the activities can be held.

The program is aimed at encouraging young people to get their immunizations before school reopens.

There will be activities including games, art projects and an obstacle course.

Council also approved a proposal from Bullhook Community Health Center to hold a color fun run or walk event Sunday, Aug. 7.

In a letter to council, Bullhook CEO Cindy Smith said the the event is to enhance the profile of the facility and to generate community pride.

The event would require that several downtown Havre streets be blocked off temporarily.
