HAVRE AREA CHAMBER of COMMERCE 130 5th Ave., HAVRE

Area Chamber of Commerce “Loving Our Treasures” is the theme for the 2014 Festival Days celebration! For 34 years, this weekend has been celebrated in September to reflect on the year, its people and the contributions which have been made to Havre. This year isn’t any different. Did you know that in the 1960s the nostalgic Music Festival was discontinued, leaving Havre without a community celebration? It was brought back in the 1980s by some local community members and a need to celebrate. A couple new events will be rolled this year. The first is our Loving Havre’s Treasures contests. What a way to capture what you love about our great community in a photo or essay! We have a lot to be proud of here in this community we call home and its surroundings, so let’s capture that moment, whether it is with a camera or in words. A l s o n ew to H av re is the Glacier Nationals Hockey team, with their first home game set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at our very own Havre Ice Dome. What a great way to welcome this team to Havre, by showing our support while enjoying a hockey game. With September and fall comes a busy calendar of activities for Havre, including this annual community celebration know as Havre Festival Days. For 34 years, the Havre Chamber has been helping to organize this fun-filled weekend of events for the whole community. And again, we have a full schedule of activities starting Friday, Sept. 19, continuing through Sunday, Sept. 21. Many hours go into the planning of Festival Days, and it also takes many community volunteers giving their time and talent to make the event successful each year. Festival Days has gone from a weekend celebration to a community tradition. The Chamber oversees the parade, the craft show, the farmers market and the publicity marketing the weekend. The rest of the schedule is made up of events and activities organized by local groups. The willingness of so many to make the weekend a success each year is very much appreciated — thank you to each of you. Activities start Friday with the quilt show, the book dale and the ever popular 48-hour softball tournament. The Kiwanis Club Pancake Breakfast is the only way to start Saturday. The parade continues to grow and to be the highlight of the weekend. Thank you to the many volunteers that help with the parade line up, and thank you to Tony Vigliotti who generals the parade. The day is filled with activities for all. And don’t forget to stop by the craft and commercial show at the Great Northern Fairgrounds. Sunday is busy as well. Thank

Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Debbie Callahan President

Some old standard by events will continue starting Friday with the book sale, quilt show and the 48-hour softball tournament. Saturday is filled with pancakes, the farmers market, the craft show and our very own Festival Days Parade. We close out our weekend with our Festival Run/ Walk event on the dike. An event that I truly enjoy running in! On behalf of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, I would like to invite you to join in the fun and help celebrate our Havre Festival Days weekend. It was once said that we live here in this great community because we are minutes from “nowhere” and “somewhere” at the same time. What a true statement!

Havre/Hill County Historic Preservation releases 2014 Christmas Ornament Proceeds will go toward community preservation projects and Fort Assinniboine In July, the Havre/Hill County Historic Preservation Commission nominated Donaldson Hall as the feature for its annual Christmas Ornament. This limited edition, 2014 ornament will be the fourth building highlighted for its historical significance to the community and MSU-Northern. Donaldson Hall was constructed in 1936, perched on a hilltop of the Northern Campus. This structure has remained an iconic building on campus for the past 85 years. Designed by Frank Bossuot, its architecture is described as Collegiate Revival Gothic; a popular style for school structures, in the 19th and 20th centuries throughout

the United States and Canada. Although the building is currently vacant, it has through the years undergone various stabilization projects, most recently this past year. The ultimate goal for Donaldson Hall is that this historic building will be preserved and once again serve an active role at MSU-Northern. To kick off the weekend of Festival Days, the 2014 Christmas ornaments will go on sale Friday Sept. 19 at the Chamber of Commerce and MSU-Northern Bookstore. The release date also coincides with MSUNorthern’s Homecoming activities which starts Sept. 22. Cost for the ornaments is $20 and proceeds will go toward community preservation projects and Fort Assinniboine. A limited number of past ornaments are also still available at the Chamber office. The preservation commission would like to thank the community for their support. This fundraiser has had great success and will continue to be an annual event!

Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Debbie Vandeberg Executive director

you to Gerry Dolven for marshalling the craft show that wraps up Sunday afternoon. And don’t forget to partake in the Festival Run/Walk. Thank you to the businesses that are there each year to sponsor the buttons and mugs. Thank you to MSU-Northern for being such a great partner by being our event sponsor this year. As we celebrate this 34th anniversary of Festival Days it is hard not to think back to fun memories this weekend has given us over the years. Thank you to everyone who helped with the organization of Festival Days. I am always amazed at the willingness of so many to help make this community event a success each year. Havre is a wonderful community for a lot of reasons, BUT the people are what make it so special. Fall seems to have come fast this year — but what a wonderful time of year. There is such excitement in the air, the harvest is coming to an end, school is back in session and sporting events abound. Plan to attend Festival Days, I hope to see you there … AND have fun.

HAVRE FESTIVAL DAYS

The parade, Festival Days centerpiece The parade would not be complete without the Havre High School marching band John Paul Schmidt Havre Daily News The Festival Days parade kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday from Rod's Drive-In and continues north on 5th Avenue to 4th Street, then turns east and continues to 7th Avenue. The parade will disband at Pepin Park. According to a press release from the Havre Chamber of Commerce, a color guard will lead the succession, followed by Montana State University-Northern, the 2014 Festival Days sponsor.

"The parade would not be complete without the Havre High School marching band," the press release reads. "The Havre High Blue Pony Band has participated in all past Festival Days Parades." The bagpipers from the South Alberta Pipe and Drum Band will again be gracing the streets of Havre and will take part in the parade. Drink donation to the bagpipers that night are goodwill-based. The floats in the parade will be judged to find the best commercial, best non-commercial and Mayor Tim Solomon's favorite. Last year's winners were Northern Montana Hospital, First Lutheran Church and Havre Day Activity Center. The Chamber reminds participants that no candy is allowed to be thrown from the parade, as candy may turn to projectiles aimed at children's faces. The Chamber gave the suggestion that if you must throw candy, throw it into the gutters, away from the faces of onlookers.

The Havre Chamber of Commerce announces winners The Havre Chamber of Commerce hosted two Loving Havre’s Treasures contests for Havre Festival Days. Contest #2 was to write an essay focusing

on what you love about our great community and submit the entry to the Chamber for a chance to win a $50 Chamber Gift Certificate.

Essay Contest Winner #1 ~ Jody Stortz What Do You Love About Havre? My husband Andy and I moved to Havre six years ago after having lived our entire lives in the Great Falls area. We moved here to be closer to our family — most notably, our grandchildren! After securing employment and buying a home, we quickly settled in our new community. We were understandably nervous about the move but quickly discovered what a great place Havre is. Having said that, this is our "Top Ten

List" as to why we love Havre: 10. Parking is FREE! 9. NO library fines! 8. Sounds on the Square & KIcks @ 6 in the summer. 7. Great Northern Fair including rodeo and the demo Derby. 6. Great neighbors. 5. Great hunting and fishing. 4. Great employers. 3. Love our church and church family. 2. The people of Havre. 1. Festival Days!

Essay Contest Winner #2 ~ Dona Woods Living here is relaxing with many opportunities, from schools, to churches, to organizations ... to sports and healthy living, if you just take advantage of it. Public schools to Christian schools offer diversity in learning, along with home schooling, too. Churches with accommodating schedules, plus nonchurch enti-

ties such as Alano and AA, for troubled souls. Living near ﬁshing, hunting and even a foreign country (Canada); which is not very far and adds excitement to a Sunday drive or weekend excursion. Havre has many treasures ... explore!

Havre Festival Days Celebrates "Loving our treasures" PAM BURKE Havre Daily News To celebrate the 34th annual Festival Days, Havre Daily News asked a selection of Havre residents to offer their personal thoughts on this year's theme "Havre: Loving our Treasures." When offered the opportunity to share what they treasure most about Havre — a memory, place, activity, scene, day, feeling or something else altogether — the general consensus was, like the old city slogan said: It's the people. The following is what was shared.

Sarah Manuel Sarah Manuel, 17, a senior at Havre High School, said she could only narrow down her impressions to two things she treasures about Havre. The ﬁrst of these treasures is the sense of place she has with Havre. “It’s home,” she said, “and it feels like home.” “I say that because I’ve always had the desire to travel abroad, and I want to go and see the world. I know that no matter where I go or where I end up Havre’s always going to be my home, and I can always come back here,” she said. “It just has that special feeling to me.” Beyond her sense of belonging to the town, Sarah is drawn to the underlying support for community she sees among Havre’s business people. “The size of the town makes it difﬁcult to have your own business,” she said, “ … but the people of Havre are usually so great about going and supporting school causes.” As a young entrepreneur, who makes money with her photography and by selling her homemade cheese cakes, as well as b a ke d go o d s d u r i n g t h e s u m m e r a t Saturday Market, she feels the support for her own endeavors. “There’s tons of local restaurants and they’re just spectacular, you have tons of local photographers (and) the farmer’s market, which is always such a blessing.” Sarah hasn’t pinpointed what she wants to do beyond high school graduation, but is open to future business paths and appreciates Havre business people for “how they just work together.”

Greg Kegel Greg Kegel, dean of the college of technical sciences and newly appointed interim chancellor at Montana State UniversityNorthern, has been connected to the uni-

versity for more than four decades. He also has had family on Montana's northern plains for more than 100 years. “Many treasures were discovered in the land and the people,” he said about his family's time in north-central Montana, “but, in my opinion, none were as signiﬁcant as what I've found in Northern Montana College, now MSU-Northern.” The university has done a great deal of good for the students who sought their education there. “I've witnessed countless student success stories that in many cases would not have occurred had Nothern not been there for them,” he said, adding "almost every family and business in this region has somehow been touched by Nothern. The institution has a long history of providing graduates that not only possess the right skills, but also a northern plains rural work ethic that is second to nowhere else.” He also sees the positive things these students do for Northern's reputation once they graduate and move on to their careers. “As a college dean, I entertain many corporate people that arrive here on recruiting visits. I am constantly reminded by their comments that our graduates are individuals that know how to work, are dependable, get along and are loyal employees. Many of these companies return year after year and consider MSU-N to be their little gold mine. “In addition, I have witnessed MSUNorthern graduates that have successfully climbed major corporate ladders and are now in critical leadership positions as managers and vice-presidents,” he added. “Some of those graduates have commented back to me that they would never have achieved what they have in their professional lives had it not been for Northern. “For these reasons, I consider MSUNorthern to be one of Montana's greatest treasures,” he said.

Kati Purkett Kati Purkett is the third generation to take the helm of her family’s business, Northern Home Essentials After starting out in 1962 as Northern Electronics in Kati's grandfather Frank DeRosa's garage, the business gradually evolved through the years to include a wider variety of products and the name changed with it. “One of Havre's greatest treasures is the people,” Kati said, joking that she hoped people wouldn't stop reading after seeing that statement.

“We have been blessed many times over by people who give time, talents, energy, financial blessing and so much more to make Havre a community, not just a place to live,” she said. With her years of experience in retail — which she said began when she was 11 or 12 years old, when she started out helping clean the store — she has interacted with a wide variety of Havre's community members, organizations and businesses. She said she has seen the differece the people of Havre make in developing the city's quality of life. “Individuals, business people, students, teachers, coaches, farmers, ranchers, volunteers, you name it, these are the people that make Havre what it is," she said. “Without these treasures, Havre would not have many wonderful places, events and attractions. “Havre,” she added, “really does have, and has had, some truly great treasures in its people.”

Darrin Boss Darrin Boss is the superintendent and animal scientist at Montana State U n i ve r s i t y ' s N o r t h e r n A g r i c u l t u r a l Research Center. He said he ﬁrst came to work at NARC for a twom o n t h research gig, but those couple of months have now extended to 20 years — in large part, he said, because of the people. “I originally came to Havre for a job, but it is the people who made me want to stay and make it my home,” he said. “I appreciate all of the friends I h ave m a d e a n d the support I have received from the agricultural community.” Working with the ag community, Boss said, has been personally and professionally fulﬁlling.

“I cannot really explain the rewarding experiences I have had while employed at NARC while interacting with (everyone) from 4-H to individual producers out on their farm or ranch,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to help the most wonderful people make ends meet while in production agriculture." In a letter of thanks to the Havre Chamber after receiving the 2006 Agriculture Advocate award, he said, "I want to say ‘Thank you’ to the people of Havre for accepting me as one of their own.”

Toni Hagener After her many years of living in, working in and giving service to Havre, Toni Hagener said she treasures most of all the city's opportunities. Toni and her husband, the late Lou Hagener, came to Havre in 1949 when Lou went to work at Northern Montana College, which became Montana State UniversityNorthern, and they raised their family here. While Lou worked at Northern for many decades, Toni worked in Havre, volunteered, supported causes, became a county commissioner and eventually was elected a state legislator, a n d i s s t i l l ve r y active volunteering in the community. While she has been a tireless champion for the city, she sees this not as a trait unique to herself but rather part of a what is unique and special about Havre. “Havre is a friendly, vital community which offers opportunities for both men a n d wo m e n to be meaningfully involved in community a f fa i rs a n d activities,” she said. “You can get involved and do many things,” she added, “and these add to the experience of your family and life in general.”

Skylights face Rocky Mountain College Friday night and will host rival Carroll College Saturday afternoon George Ferguson Havre Daily News Depending on the year, one of the big highlights of Havre’s annual Festival Days Weekend is football. Whether it’s the Havre B l u e Po n i e s o r t h e M o n ta n a S ta t e University-Northern Lights, or both, a Festival Days football game is always special. In 2014, there won’t be any football at Blue Pony Stadium during Festival Days. But that won’t make the weekend any less special, and sports will be a big reason why. Both the Blue Ponies and Lights football teams will be on the road for Festival Days weekend, but there’s still a little something for everyone.

Of course, the annual 48-Hour Softball Tournament will return to Festival Days. The event starts at 6 p.m. Friday and runs through the championship game Sunday. The tournament is played nonstop, and attracts teams from all over Montana, as well as Canada. The tourney is a huge fan favorite, and each year, softball fans can be seen viewing games under the lights at times like 1 and 3 a.m. at the famed Sixth Avenue Memorial Field. There will be plenty of exciting sporting events indoors, too, Festival Days weekend, including the home debut of the Glacier Nationals at the Havre Ice Dome. Saturday night, the Nationals, who relocated to Havre from Whitefish, will play their first-ever Havre home game when they take on the Great Falls Americans at 7:30 p.m. Festival Days also marks this season’s home debut of the MSU-Northern volleyball team, as the Skylights play two huge Frontier Conference matches. Friday night, Northern battles defending Frontier Conference champion Rocky Mountain College in a rematch of the 2013 Frontier championship match. Northern will be back in the Armory Gymnasium Saturday afternoon to host rival Carroll College. So, while football might not be taking center stage during the 2014 Festival Days Weekend, as always, there’s still plenty for sports fans to see and do.

Festival Days highlights: E-1 Demo Derby, Run/Walk and Shriners' Beef Raffle n Continued from page 9

E-1 Towing Demolition Derby The 19th Annual E-1 Towing Demolition Derby is going to be have the largest payout in Montana history, co-organizer Kenny Erickson said. At 3 p.m. Saturday, more than 25 competitors will take part in the demolition derby at the Great Northern Fairgrounds. Erickson said first prize will get $4,000, second will get $2,000, third $1,000, fourth $500, fifth $250, sixth $150 and 7th to eleventh places $100. The top 11 competitors will also receive a jacket. The most aggressive driver in the main heat will receive a stripped bubble Lincoln Town Car courtesy of Pacific Steel and Recycling. If a competitor gets a flat tire during any heat, that driver's name will be entered into a drawing once for each flat tire. The winner gets a pair of tires and there are two pairs being given away, courtesy of Havre Tire Factory. If a competitor does not make it into the main heat, their name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a new 8D battery courtesy of Car Quest, a pair of Speedway mechanic gloves or a magnetic mechanic tray from Speedway.

Evening entertainment will include Metallica tribute band, Blistered Earth, playing during downtimes of the derby and then for two hours afterward. “We’re really excited because we think we’re going to have the biggest turnout of cars we’ve had in a long time,” Erickson said. The Skylights will also be selling concessions and beer. Tickets to the derby are $12 and kids 5 and under get in free. “We’d like to thank all our local sponsors for making this payout possible,” Erickson said. “Without them, this would not be possible.”

Festival Run/Walk raises funds for the Havre High School Boys Cross Country team The Festival Days Run/Walk raises funds for the Havre High School boys cross country team. The team is not funded by the school because it breaks Title IX policies. Debi Rhines said the parents of the boys on the team got together many years ago and created the walk as a way to finance the

team. “It helps fund the season for the boys,” Rhines said. The run/walk is either a one-mile or 5K and starts at the Bullhook Drainage flood control dike south of Havre near the U.S. Border Patrol Station. Rhines said they used to do drawings for participants, but this year, they will have participation bags, donated by community organizations and businesses, for everyone. Registration ends at 11:50 a.m. Sunday and costs $25 if the participant wants a long sleeve shirt and $10 without the shirt. Children 8 and under are free but must be accompanied with a registered adult. Last year, they had 85 runners come out, Rhines said. Those interested can preregister at the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce office or call Rhines at 945-2833.

The Shriners' beef raffle is one of the oldest traditions of Festival Days About 5,000 people around Havre will be buying what Shriners called "the best deal in town." For just $1, people can buy a raffle ticket for a side of beef.

Second place is a hind quarter, and third place is a front quarter. The Shriners' beef raffle is one of the oldest traditions of Festival Days. Just about every year, said Hank Tweeten, a long time Shriner, the raffle tickets sell out. Tweeten said the tickets are $1 singly, but the Shriners offer a deal. "You can get 10 for $10," he quipped. Some families enjoy the meat, others donate it to local charities. Groups ranging from soup kitchens to senior citizen groups have received donations over the years. Winning tickets will be drawn Sunday night, Tweeten said. People do not need to be present to win. Shriners all over town will have tickets and be more than happy to sell them, he said. The money raised will help pay for getting children to and from Shriners Hospitals for Children of Spokane. Shriners operate a series of hospitals throughout the country, Tweeten said. But most children from this area go to the Spokane hospital. The hospital treats all kinds of ailments, and services are offered free of charge. But, it is very expensive to provide transportation to the hospital for the sick children and their parents, he said, so the local Shriners help people out as much as they

Friends of the Library Book Sale

Festival of Quilts: At new location

The annual Friends of the Library Book Sale starts the day before Festival Days, and it has become a Festival Days tradition. The doors open at 8 a.m. Thursday for the sale. All kinds of books are for sale. Many are duplicate books or books no longer needed by the library, said Jean Scofield, a Friend of the Library membe who has a been working at the sale for about 10 years. Others are books that are donated by members of the public. "You get a bag of books for a buck," she said, pointing to the $1 price. The sale goes on 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Havre-Hill County Library, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. When the sales begin each morning, she said, a fresh supply of books is added. More books are added all day as space opens up. It is operated cafe style, she said. People can pick the books they want, stuff them in a bag and pay their $1. People enjoy themselves and come back each year, she said. The hardest part is setting up on Wednesday, she said. After that, volunteers from the Friends take turns working at the sale. The Friends encourage donations of gifts from patrons Wednesday and before, she said. But once the sale begins no new donations are accepted, she said. Every year, up to $1,200 is raised at the sale. The money is used to buy equipment for the library that is not included in the city and county budgets.

The 2014 Hi-Line Quilt Guild Festival of Quilts is showcasing its numerous quilt entries at a new venue this year at the Mat Corner building at 135 2nd St. The show will open Friday, noon to 6 p.m., continue Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and conclude Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free and the viewing public will have a chance to vote on their favorite quilts and participate in the “I Spy” game. The show will have on display a large number of quilts and quilted home decor items, from quilters all along the Hi-Line and the surrounding area. At the same time, vendors will have display items and products for sale and presenters are set to give demonstrations. One of the highlights of the event is the quilt raffle. Every few years the Hi-Line Quilt Guild members finishes an intricate quilt to raffle off to the public. The guild donates the raffle ticket proceeds to a local charity, generally the Havre Food Bank which uses the funds to buy food through some of the months with generally low donation numbers. This year’s raffle quilt, called “Welcome Home,” is a 105-inch by 105-inch floral wreath sampler. tickets are $3 each or two for $5. The drawing will be Sunday. People will have a chance at winning other entries, too, by buying tickets to a number of other mini raffles.

Democratic side of the aisle will be stumping during Havre Festival Days at the annual Pasma-Peck Dinner fundraiser. Hill County Democrats are holding their fundraiser Friday, with a no-host social starting at 5 p.m. at the Havre Eagles Club followed by a prime rib dinner starting at 6 p.m. Local legislative candidates Sen. Greg Jergeson and Havre City Council member Janet Trethewey are confirmed speakers, and Hill County Democratic Party Chair Brenda Skornogoski said other local Democratic candidates and federal candidates were invited but had not been able to confirm by the time this article was written.

The event is $25 per person.

Steve Heil Memorial Car Show The first-ever Steve Heil Memorial Car Show will come to the Independence Bank parking lot Saturday at 6 p.m. Cassie Albertson and her husband Ryan are organizing the show. She said the car show is named after her father, who was an automobile enthusiast. “My dad was a huge car-nut, so we decided, seeing as he died six years ago, we would put on a car show in his memory,” Albertson said. She said she has no idea how many cars are coming to the show, but she hopes that there will be a decent turnout so they can organize the second annual Steve Heil Memorial Car Show.

She said they also began the car show because there hadn’t been one for the Festival Days celebrations in years. The show will probably last until 8 or 9 p.m. and anyone who wants to enter their vehicle in the show can just come to the event without preregistering. Albertson said that many of her father’s vehicles will also be at the show. Independence Bank is located at 435 3rd St. If anyone has any questions, they may contact Albertson at 262-7898.

Parking lot dance to be held Saturday during Festival Days Saturday of Festival Days, Atrium Mall is set to hold a fun day featuring a flea market/swap and parking lot dance. People are invited to bring their wares and set up a table or booth at the flea market/swap, which will start at 2 p.m. Cost for a space is $5 and people can sell all manner of merchandise and food. Some food vendors have already committed to being there. Preregistration, by calling Lois Gilge at 390-0303, is advised in case rain requires the festivities to be held inside the mall where space is limited, but sellers can show up that day. Along with the market/swap, street artists will be performing, including a juggler and mime, a living statue, a quick-draw artists who does caricature portraits and musicians to entertain the crowd. Starting at 4 p.m. participants can join in the street dance with live music by The Other Brothers and Sista band. The dance is free and open to the public.

The final Saturday market is Festival Days weekend. Havre's farmers market brings many types of vendors to town square every weekend. From homemade crafts, food vendors, farmers selling their wares and others, the market brings the community to shop locally for many items. "Saturday Market creates a great connection for the community bringing together farmers, crafters and artists, tourists and businesses," Debbie Vandeberg, executive director of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce, wrote in a press release. "In just a few hours, you support local vendors, entertain your family and get to buy tasty food for some fabulous fall meals." The market will be from 8 a.m. to noon.

Erv Hamblock, the range officer, said the shooting range is open all year from sunup to sundown, but the attendants for Sight-In Days will be there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The only time the range is not open is when there is a high fire warning for the county.

The shooting range is 5 miles west of Havre on River Road.

The Hill County Republican Central Committee is providing a chance to meet candidates during Festival Days, with a meet-and-greet scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in Pepin Park. Hill County committee Chair Andrew Brekke said all of the local candidates plan to attend, and statewide candidates have been invited but had not been able to confirm by the time this article was written.

Handy shopping with hand-crafters The Commercial Products and Crafts Show and Sale is set to bring in plenty of vendors again at this year’s Festival Days.

Car show, burnout and barbecue set after Saturday parade After Saturday’s Festival Days Parade, people can go look at some cars, have some barbecue lunch, listen to some music and watch some tires burn or even burn their own. Custom Collision Repair of Havre is again hosting a free meal, car show and alcohol dragster burnout during Festival Days. “It’s kind of a customer appreciation car show, band and burnout,” Chris Preputin of Custom Collision said. The event will start at Custom Collision’s lot at 1750 1st St. N.E. shortly after the parade is over. Preputin said he expects about 20 cars in the car show, with burgers and hot dogs served while local band Section 8 plays acoustic renditions of some country and contemporary rock songs. The burnout — in which local people are invited to participate with their own cars — will feature top alcohol-fueled funny car dragsters burning rubber. “To see how big a cloud of smoke they can make from burning the rear tires out,” Preputin said. The event will go on until about 4 p.m., Preputin said.

Death by Chocolate set in new locale for Festival Days With a few changes — including location and what’s for supper — the annual dinner theater murder mystery fundraiser of the local acting troupe is again set during Havre Festival Days. Montana Actors’ Theatre founder and artistic director Jay Pyette said that becuase the event has been overflowing at the Montana State University-Northern Student Union Building Ballroom, this year’s Death By Chocolate will be in the Havre Central Gymnasium at St. Jude Thaddeus School Saturday starting at 5:30 p.m. The event this year also will include a meal served by the St. Jude school booster club. Much of the rest will remain the same, including people sampling then bidding on locally made chocolate desserts, along with participating in other fundraising events and entertainment, while they watch — and guess who did it — in the annual play. Pyette said this year’s play is a Havrebased version of the game Clue, including local figures and local settings for the characters and location. “The audience members will need to decide who did it, where, with what — again, not the usual weapons — and very importantly, who was the victim, although the ‘deceased’ is also the narrator for the night.” The upcoming season for MAT, along with other announcements, will be presented during the event. Tickets are $35 each or $50 for a couple, and are available at Angie’s Wildflowers at 205 3rd Ave. in Havre or online at http:// www.mtactors.com.
