Days of '85 parade nears

This year’s Days of ‘85 parade is quickly approaching. With the fair only four weeks away, now is the time for businesses, ranches, churches, organizations and classes to start brainstorming float ideas.

“Hometown Heroes” is this year’s fair and parade theme. The parade is scheduled for Sunday, August 15 at 11 a.m. Entries for the parade are due by Friday, August 13. Late entries may be accepted, but will not be judged.

Floats can start to line up at 9:30 a.m. at Fruit Service and Repair and should be in place by 10:15 a.m. Entries can be submitted over the phone by calling 406-853-2117, or by emailing mjfruit@midrivers.com. An entry form with return address will also be printed in the Eagle in the coming weeks.
