Montana’s 5th Annual Winter Gathering and Fundraiser Planned
I think there’s something exciting going on in my neighborhood every weekend! Here’s an event coming up downtown that sounds like a hoot. It mixes my love for the wilderness and my downtown social life, which is always a great combination for a fun time.

Downtown Dance Collective
121 W. Main St., Missoula
Join us in downtown Missoula for our 5th Annual Winter Gathering and Fundraiser. Come bid on some items in one of the best wilderness-oriented silent auctions around while filling yourself up on wine, beer and hors d’ouvres. Don’t forget to pick up some raffle tickets while enjoying live music. Downtown Dance Collective
For our keynote address, we are honored to welcome Bill Moore, who will present a tribute to his late father, Bud Moore. One of the fathers of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Bud’s impact on the protection of the Selway-Bitterroot was incalculable. Few knew the Selway country as well as Bud, who grew up exploring and trapping in these mountains. Bud’s progressive wilderness management during his Forest Service career set the stage for many of the management techniques that we use today. Please come on down February 24 to hear the story of one of the Selway-Bitterroot’s greatest champions. We’ll also be honoring John McBride, one of the founders of the National Smokejumper Association’s trails maintenance program.
