As hard as it is to believe, springtime is upon us in Havre, and it’s beautiful. The warm temperatures and sunny blue skies have been a nice change of pace from the cold, wet and murky weather. Yet, there is more to look forward to in Havre right now than the change in temperature, especially this weekend as springs sports are in full swing and another busy sports day is on tap.
