Letter to the Editor - Thanks to all for a great Festival Days

Editor,

What a great Festival Days celebration we just had!

This town never ceases to amaze me, and that’s why we live here!

My list of people and organizations to thank is long. Thanks to everyone who participated in any way, large or small in Havre Pride Town Wide in an effort to make Havre look tidy before Festival Days.

Thanks to the city of Havre and Mayor Tim Solomon for all they do. Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped with the parade and all the other activities that went on this weekend. The police department always handles their share and the lineup of all the local fire departments in the parade was spectacular. The parade onlookers gave them the respect they deserved this year, for sure.

Our veterans are always well represented with the color guard and float. Special every year is the South Alberta Pipes and Drums band sponsored by our Havre Lions Club. They played around town as per usual. They told me that the Havre trip is the highlight of their year!

Thanks to Rod’s Drive-In for letting us congregate there again.

Huge thanks to Montana State University-Northern for being the sponsor of the parade along with Bearly Square, Crystal City Casino and Hi Line Gold Casino for sponsoring the flyers.

Forgive me if I have forgotten anyone. Our whole town deserves a pat on the back for this great weekend of fun. It took all of us including the spectators to make this happen and I thank you.

Jody Olson

Executive director Havre Area Chamber of Commerce
