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

Area Chamber of Commerce Happy Festival Days!! Festival Days is upon us once again and “It’s Time to Celebrate Havre” and the 35th anniversary of this great community event. What makes Havre special to me may be different than what makes Havre special to you. But the one thing that brings us all together is the annual Festival Days parade. It’s fun watching kids gathering candy and seeing the smiles on people’s faces riding on floats as they wave at their friends, showing their pride of Havre and being involved in the parade Saturday morning. For the car lovers out there, be sure to take in the Steve Heil Memorial Car Show, CCR Burnout Competition and the E-1 Towing Demolition Derby. For all the art enthusiasts, check out the Hi-Line Quilt Guild Festival of Quilts and the Crafts and Commercial Products Show that has been moved to the Holiday Village Mall. And for all the active athletes and spectators looking for sporting events, be sure to take in some 48-Hour Softball Tournament, high school and college football and volleyball. Get your friends and family together and burn some calories with the Festival Days Run/Walk at the RC Model Flying Club Sunday. With these and many other events, there’s sure to be something on the

Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Shawn Holden President

Festival Days calendar that will interest you. Look to purchase a Festival Days button or mug from a local participating business or stop by the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce office to get one, while you thank Debbie and Shari for all that they and our local Chamber of Commerce do to make this weekend possible and so special. Be sure to partake in the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning at the Eagles Club from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and vote on artwork that will be chosen for our downtown power box covers project. On behalf of the Havre Chamber and Board of Directors, I invite you to come out and join in all the fun. If you’re not involved, get involved and enjoy Festival Days weekend — “Celebrate Havre”… take a look around folks!

Festival of crafts, art and commercial products

will gather at the Holiday Village Mall during Festival Days Crafters, artisans and commercial vendors will gather at the Holiday Village Mall for Festival Days. This is a new location for the Festival Days Crafts and Commercial Products Show, which runs Saturday and Sunday. A variety of arts and crafts will adorn the tables at this year’s Festival of arts and crafts, giving shoppers a variety of homemade items to select from during the two-day event. This is the 32nd year for the show, and it is shaping up to be another good one with vendors from the Hi-Line and across the state. While the traditional art and craft show part of the event features only hand-made items, commercial vendors joined the show a few years ago, bringing an added attraction for those looking for special items.

People exploring the craft show will see jewelry, quilts, blankets, pottery, wood crafts, dried floral arrangements, soaps, scrubbers and candles to name a few items expected to be on sale. Under the commercial banner of the show one can find educational books, knives, swords, artwork, jams and jellies. It is a fun time to get some holiday gift ideas. The show will start Saturday Sept. 19, at 10 a.m and run that evening until 5 p.m. It continues Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. There is still space available for area crafters and artisans to participate. Just call the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce at 2654383 for more information, or go to their website: http://www.havrechamber.com and click on Festival Days under the event heading.

2015 ornament features Fort and 4-H raffle drawing for Northern Ag Research Center sculpture to be Sept. 20 Proceeds will go toward community preservation efforts

T h e H av r e / H i l l C o u n t y H i s t o r i c Preservation Commission selected Fort Assinniboine and the Northern Agricultural Research Center for its annual historic Christmas ornament this year. NARC celebrated its 100th anniversary July 1. The research center, part of the Montana State University College of Agriculture, was created using part of the land and some of the buildings of Fort Assinniboine, first garrisoned in 1879 and decommissioned in 1911. Part of the annual Field Day at the research center included presenting complimentary, unnumbered ornaments to some honored guests who attended the event. NARC supplemented the cost of the ornaments on sale this year, so all proceeds are able to go toward a fund geared toward community preservation efforts. This year only 100 numbered, limited-edition orna-

ments are for sale — $20 — at the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce. The preservation commission also is offering a promotional summer special for previously issued ornaments. Previous years have featured: • The former Havre post office and federal court house • St. Mark's Episcopal Church • Donaldson Hall at Montana State University-Northern. The commission is offering a special price for the remainder of those ornaments. People can buy two of the three for $30. The regular price is $20 each. Ornaments may be purchased at the Chamber office. The $20-for-2 offer excludes the 2015 ornament.

A sculpture by a local artist has been on display around Havre, and everyone has the opportunity to buy tickets to win the artwork. The raffle for the metal sculpture of stalks of wheat created by local artist Willard Vaughn will be held Sunday, Sept. 20, at Holiday Village Mall during Festival Days. Vaughn donated the sculpture to raise money for Hill County 4-H's project to rebuild the Chuckwagon building at the Great Northern Fairgrounds. Since the Great Northern Fair, the sculpture has been displayed at: • Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods, Aug. 10-14; • Independence Bank, Aug. 17-21; • Tilleman Motor Co., Aug. 24-29; • Wells Fargo Bank parking lot, Aug. 31-Sept. 4; • Holden's Hot Wheels, Sept. 7-11, • McDonald's, Sept. 14-18. Havre Daily News/File Photo The wheat sculpture being raffled in a fundraiser for the Hill County 4-H Chuckwagon project stands on display. The sculpture moved through a series of displays in Havre leading up to the raffle drawing which will be held Sept. 20 during Festival Days.

Havre Daily News/Matthew Strissel The 2015 Havre/Hill County Historic Preservation Commission’s commemorative pewter ornament sits on display at the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce. The commission selected the buildings at Fort Assinniboine, south of Havre on U.S. Highway 87, used by Montana State U n i v e r s i t y C o l l e g e o f A g r i c u l t u r e ’s Northern Agricultural Research Center for this year’s ornament. NARC is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The research center was established in 1915, four years after the U.S. Army decommissioned Fort Assinniboine.

HAVRE FESTIVAL DAYS

Havre Daily News/Hi-Line Shopper

The parade, a decade long tradition John Paul Schmidt Havre Daily News The Festival Days parade is a decadeslong tradition that had entertained the citizens of the Hi-Line, has been created by the citizens, and it will be returning to the Havre streets once again this year. The parade is organized by the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce and its director, Debbie Vandeberg, said it’s typically the most well-attended event. She said Sept. 4 that they were still accepting registrations for floats in the parade, so she did not know how large it was going to be just then, but she usually sees a large number of applicants after Labor Day weekend. This is the 35th Festival Days and the parade has been a part of it since the beginning. “It’s kind of the highlight of the weekend,” Vandeberg said. “Everybody loves the parade.” The route will take the parade from Rod’s Drive-In on 5th Avenue, north down the avenue to 6th Street, where it will turn east, go two blocks past City Hall and disburse at Pepin Park. She said so far, the weather forecast looks pretty good and as long as it stays that way, it will go off without a hitch. She added that people walking or participating in the parade are not allowed to throw candy from their floats or moving vehicles. “They need to have walkers throwing that candy,” she explained. “It needs to be adhered to because we’ve had kids hit in the face in the past with candy and stuff.” The Havre High School marching band has always been a staple of the parade and they will be playing this year as well. There will be a color guard as well, and the parade

The Music Marches On is expected to be fuller due to Montana State University-Northern’s homecoming taking place that weekend as well. The floats will all be entered into a competition for three possible prizes. One float will win the mayor’s choice award, which Mayor Tim Solomon chooses. The best com-

mercial float and best noncommercial float will be chosen, also. Those who desire to be a part of the parade may go to the Chamber of Commerce office on 5th Avenue or visit their website at www.havrechamber.com to get a copy of the application and guidelines for the parade.

Line-up for the parade starts at 8 a.m. Saturday at Havre High School and the parade starts rolling at 10. Havre Daily News/file photo BNSF employees entertain folks during the 2014 Festival Days parade on 5th Avenue.

Through the years of Festival Days, the only consistent live-music backup for Havre High marching band has been South Alberta Pipes and Drums Pam Burke Havre Daily News Before Havre had Festival Days the third weekend of September, it had its own sound of music in the city’s May Festival, which showcased area school bands. As these school bands have succumbed to time and interest in other activities, the Havre High School marching band is beating the odds to carry on the musical tradition for parade-goers. The Havre High marching band will have a few more than 60 members this year, which is about average for a school its size in Montana, said high school band director David Johnke. Much like the fall sports teams they play music for, the marching band participates in an end of summer practice camp to jump start the school year. “To kick things off and give them a head start, they do a five-day camp the week before school starts,” Johnke said. This is a 35-hour camp with instructors brought in specifically to teach students the intricacies of playing in a marching band. Once school starts, band members attend practice for an hour each morning before classes begin. Though being in pep band, which rallies

the crowd and home team during games, is voluntary, participation in marching band is considered co-curricular with being in the school’s concert and jazz bands. For many of the kids, though, Johnke said, playing in the marching band is a highlight of the year. The band generally skips half-time show performances at the first few home football games while they are still perfecting stepping in time to the music for the public. “Some kids pick it up fast, and some struggle with it,” Johnke said about learning to march to the music they are playing. For those kids who need more work, the band goes through a lot of drills, slows the routine down and breaks into small groups to get the kids more individualized help. “The way I see it, if you can tap your foot in time, you can march. Some kids just don’t think about it, they walk along then think, ‘OK, yeah, I guess I’m supposed to march in time,” and then it starts to click, he said. Along with learning to march in time and memorizing the marching routines, the band members learn three pieces of music. One is the school song “which they play 100,000 times,” he said, and the other two are show pieces. “The parade actually helps us to continue to rehearse,” he said, and joked: “... I don’t know how many times we end up repeating (the songs) in the parade but enough times by the time they’re done they better darn well have it under their belt.”

Historic music festival In the May Festival of early Havre history, bands from area schools marched Havre Daily News/file photo Above: Havre High School marching band performs during the 2014 Festival Days parade. Right: Bagpipers play during the 2014 Festival Days parade on 5th Avenue.

through town in a parade and went to assigned locations around Havre to give free, mini, street concerts, said Debbie Vandeberg, executive director of Havre Area Chamber of Commerce, who also participated in some of the May Festivals in the mid-1960s. “I remember I was a part of some of the later May Festivals when I was in middle school,” she said, “and so I played, in fact, down in front of the Barkus Home Center place (now Havre Hardware and Home) in a street concert, because after the parade then everybody was assigned a location then there was 30-minute concerts, all day long.” She said that there are few records of those May Festivals beyond a handful of fliers and photos, and some personal recollec-

tions, but one flier shows that the inaugural event was held May 23, 1931. That event, organized by Havre Band and Orchestra Association Inc., was anticipated to have 200 musicians performing with bands from Big Sandy, GildfordHinghan, Chinook and Turner along with the city, high school and grade school bands from Havre. The day started with registration, followed by talks during the lunch break from all the musical directors in attendance and Dr. G.H. Vande Bogart, who was president of Northern Montana College at that time, and then 40 to 50 minute concerts from participating school bands. The event concluded with a parade of all

Music: Johnke: ‘We rehearse a lot so they are prepared’ ■ Continued from page 3 bands and a concert with all the bands playing together. An entry about May Festival in “Grit, Guts and Gusto: A History of Hill County” says that the following year the festival was held over two days, May 6-7, 1932, with 22 bands from 17 towns — including Shaunavon in Canada — bringing 1,000 musicians and 8,000-10,000 spectators. A photograph accompanying the writeup shows hundreds of vehicles circled around a filled stage area in an open, natural bowl west of town, as the vehicle occupants wait for the massed band concert. The writeup says that at its height, the May Festival attracted more than 100 bands. “I’m not sure when that event ended,” Vandeberg said. “All I know is that 36 years ago a group of business people tried to breathe life back into an event that kind of celebrated the community, so the new face of the event became Festival Days. And they decided to do it in the fall, as I understand, more as a celebration of harvest and the end of summer. I don’t know who those people were. They didn’t keep very good records and I didn’t come on the scene — I chaired Havre Festival Days in 1987 was the first time I got involved.” When Vandeberg came on board, organizers tried to get the bands back to town, but had no success at it.

Modern challenges “We were sending letters out to all the area schools. I mean, we went as far as Great Falls and into Canada,” she said. “The challenge is that with kids nowadays they’re so involved in athletics, and with women’s sports, too, that they’re having a hard time making up marching bands. We don’t even have a middle school band that marches anymore.” Johnke said that other issues also come into play to

make participation in these events difficult. “Marching band is not supported by the (Montana High School Association), so if you do have a marching band it’s on your own scheme, more or less.” Havre High’s only fellow marching band during the Festival Days parade, South Alberta Pipes and Drums, the popular bagpipe group which drops down from Canada almost every year, is having a difficult time getting enough people together this year, too, said Malcom Sissons, the group’s secretary. Pipe and drum bands have a long tradition in Canada and the British Empire, said Sissons, including as part of the daily routine in military regiments from the mid-1800s to World War I. The group, which has organized under the South Alberta Pipes and Drums name since 2004, is a few years past celebrating its 100th anniversary of pipe band tradition in the Medicine Hat, Alberta, area. Though group’s members enjoy marching in the Festival Days parade and playing around town afterward, this year might be one of the few they have missed, Sissons said. “We are a small band and if a few of our members have other commitments — work, family, etc. — we are in a tight spot,” he added. But come Sept. 19 parade-goers will still get to see and hear the local Havre High students during the parade, which is arguably the favorite single event of the weekend. “We rehearse a lot so they are prepared, so they do sound good,” Johnke said. “That’s the plan. The beginning of the year can be tough because you’re still trying to get them going but, hopefully, by the middle of September, we’re starting to lock on, starting to do pretty well. “My attempt is to try to get more of a — I don’t want to to say tradition, but more of a custom here that they can try to continue on in the future.”

Skylights host Lewis-Clark state Thursday night and face defending Frontier Conference Champions Rocky Mountain College Saturday night George Ferguson Havre Daily News When it comes to celebrations, at least in Havre, it doesn’t get much bigger or better than the annual Festival Days celebration. It’s one of Havre’s oldest and proudest traditions. And while there’s plenty of different things to do, see and participate in each year during Festival Days, one of the big attractions is local sporting events. And this year’s version of Festival Days will be jam-packed with sports. Especially football. On Friday night during Festival Days, the Havre Blue Ponies will be under the lights at Blue Pony Stadium. It’s an exciting year for Blue Pony football, and their Festival Days game against the Sidney Eagles will be a big, festive and exciting game. Saturday morning is always reserved for the annual Festival Days parade, but right after, fans should march themselves back to Blue Pony Stadium. On that Saturday, the Montana State University-Northern Lights will take the field against the UM-Western Bulldogs. And not only is it a home game for the

Lights, it’s their annual Homecoming Game, so it shouldn’t be missed. But football is only part of the Festival Days’ equation. That weekend also marks the start of the MSU-Northern volleyball team’s home schedule. Thursday night, the Skylights host Lewis-Clark State, then return to the Armory Gymnasium to face defending Frontier Conference champion Rocky Mountain College Saturday night. Both matches start at 7 p.m., and again, it’s Homecoming Weekend at Northern. 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. And if that wasn’t enough, the Glacier Nationals Tier III Junior Hockey team also has a home game against the Helena Bighorns on Saturday night at the Havre Ice Dome, and the annual E1 Towing Demolition Derby is also in town that weekend at the Great Northern Fairgrounds. So once again, local sports will be a very big part of the what is already a very festive and fun weekend in Havre.

HAVRE FESTIVAL DAYS

Havre Daily News/Hi-Line Shopper

Festival Days highlights: Saturday Market, Pancake Breakfast, Glow Run n Continued from page 9 thanks to the contributions from Shriners organizations around the country. The Havre Shriners have adopted many Hi-Line young people, providing them with transportation to and from Spokane and offering help to parents.

Saturday Market Festival Days weekend always marks the final Saturday Market of the season. Saturday Market is meant to be a “connection for community farmers, tourists and business,” said a press release from Havre Area Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the market. Vendors offering all kinds of products — crafts and produce — set up at Havre’s Town Square weekly to sell their goods. It is also a good time for both those who sell and the visitors who come to purchase items. People have the opportunity to talk to

the vendors about their products and meet up with friends and family.

Pancake Breakfast A tradition that predates Festival Days will take place again this Festival Days weekend. The Kiwanis Club pancake feed will take place Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Havre Eagles Club. Kiwanians, as in previous years, will be at the Eagles Club long before daybreak to get things ready. The breakfasts started in 1955 and have been going on every year since then. It later became part of the Festival Days weekend. A variety of community groups help out in making and serving the pancakes.

Glow Run The public can take part in an after-dark fun run/walk that celebrates both MSUNorthern homecoming and Festivals Days, Friday, Sept. 18. Registration for the 3rd Annual Glow Run starts at 7 p.m. at the SUB on the Northern campus and the race/walk starts at 8 p.m. Cost is $10 for adults, $5 for K-8 and free for Northern students. All participants get a free T-shirt.

Welcome to Havre for the 35th celebration of Havre Festival Days, Sept. 18-20 Festival Days has gone from a weekend celebration to a community tradition. Festival Days this year plainly celebrates Havre! We have so many reasons to celebrate this great community in which we live and work — from our incredible history and culture, to the many wonderful treasures we have and enjoy daily to our community spirit and the people who make up this great community we call home. What a great place to call home. For 35 years, many individuals have volunteered to make the Havre Festival Days weekend happen and this year is no different. Because of their commitment to this community event, we again have a full weekend of events for all to enjoy. The Chamber oversees the parade, the craft show and 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 so very much to each of you. Some of the old favorites taking place will be the Chamber’s Festival of Crafts and Commercial Show, the Library Book Sale, the final Saturday Market, the Festival of Quilts show, the Festival Days Fun Run/ Walk, the 48-Hour Softball Tournament and the ever-popular parade, as well as Kiwanis pancakes on Saturday morning before the parade! The parade is always the highlight of the weekend. What a great feeling to see the empty chairs lining the parade route, early on Saturday morning holding viewing places for those eagerly anticipating what is to come!

September’s crisp air, Havre Festival Days and football just mean fall has arrived. Football fever will abound this weekend as our Havre High School Blue Ponies will meet Sidney Friday evening and Montana State University-Northern celebrates homecoming in a gridiron clash with Dillon Saturday afternoon, also at Blue Pony Stadium.

I would like to thank every business that contributed to the 35th celebration of Havre Festival Days through the purchase of buttons and mugs and through sponsorships for events, promotions and prizes and the many volunteers who will be helping to make the weekend a reality. A very special thank-you goes to MSUNorthern for being the Chamber’s event sponsor partner. Also, a big thank-you goes to Bearly Square, Crystal City and Hi-Line Gold Casinos for sponsoring the event flier. This is hoping the weather forecast holds for a sunny and warm weekend so everyone can enjoy the events. I thank you in advance for attending Havre Festival Days and for helping us to make this a successful weekend.

HAVRE FESTIVAL DAYS

Event highlights for Havre Festival Days 2015 Quilt Festival The 2015 Hi-Line Quilt Guild Festival of Quilts is showcasing numerous quilt entries at the Mat Corner Building at 135 2nd St. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Festival Days weekend. The show will open noon to 6 pm. Friday, continue Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and conclude noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. There is no admission. The public will have a chance to view and 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. Vendors will display items, quilting products for sale and present demonstrations. One of the highlights of the event is the quilt raffle. This year’s raffle quilt is an original queen-sized quilt called “Star Sampler.” The tickets are $1 each or $5 for six tickets. The drawing will be Sunday. There also will be a second quilt raffle. Proceeds from this quilt will go to support Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen. The public will have a chance at winning other entries, too, by buying tickets for items on the mini-raffle table. The Hi-Line Quilt Guild uses the proceeds to support their community projects. Some recipients have been Havre Food Bank and Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen. The guild donates quilts to families or individual catastrophic situations such as extreme medical conditions or a house fire. The guild made weighted blankets for Quality Life Concepts. Funds are used to purchase the supplies needed for these donations.

Friends of the Library Book Sale Wednesday of Festival Days weekend, members of the Friends of the Havre-Hill County Library will gather to set up for the annual used book sale. The sale is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Friends, which support all kinds of projects for the library during the year. People donate books for the sale and some unneeded and duplicated books from the library shelves are put up for sale. As in past years, said Jean Scofield of the Friends, the books will be sold for a buck for bag of books. People scoop up the books they want and place them in a bag, she said. The Friends only ask that the donated books be at the library before Wednesday, she said. On Sunday, there will be an auction for a basket of books. Each basket will have a theme — one might be a basket of children's book or a basket of Ivan Doig books, she said.

pretty unique in these parts. This is the 24th Festival Days weekend that the tournament has been held, she said. The tourney starts at 4:30 p.m. Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon. “It opens with the Guns and Hoses game,” said Tammy Boles who has been running the tourney for several years. That’s the game between the Havre Police Department and Havre firefighters. That’s always a great rivalry, she said. Once the games start, there is no stopping them through the weekend, she said. “The only time we stop is to watch the parade go by on Saturday morning,” she said. But while the crowd is gathering for the parade, the games go on, she said. While people are waiting for the parade, she said, it might be a good idea to keep eyes skyward in case of wayward foul balls, she said laughing. People who show up during the weekend might still be able to join up in a team if there are any openings. And certainly everyone is encouraged to come and watch a game, she said. People will enjoy cheering on their friends. “It will be a great time to come down, watch the parade and take in a game,” she said. Havre Daily News/File Photo Barbara Larsen of Creative Needle in Shelby sets up for her fourth year in a row at the annual Hi-Line Quilt Guild Festival of Quilts Show during the 2014 Festival Days. Sets of encyclopedias will also be for sale. New novels may go for a buck a book, she said. Over the four days, thousands of books will change hands, she said. “And people can come every day if they want,” she said. “We will put out new books every day.” “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “People look forward to it.” Last year, the Friends raised $1,709, she said. The money raised helps the library pay for the license for its movie program and for the summer and winter reading programs and prizes for children programs. The other fundraiser the Friends hold is the annual pie festival in February. The schedule for the sale: Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.

24-Hour Softball Tournament Twenty-one teams are already signed up to take part in the annual 48-Hour Softball Tournament. Teams will be coming from around Montana to take part in the event that is

The business is at 7110 1st St. NW, and the street in the area will cordoned off to most traffic except for vehicles that participate in the shop’s car show. There will also be also be a “burn out” in which participants keep the vehicle in one spot while spinning its wheels until they produce smoke. Those wishing to enter either event can sign up at the celebration. John Davison of Wolfer's Diner will be there grilling up food free for the public Custom Collision will announce the winner of their giveaway of a free renovated 2003 Dodge Caravan during the celebration. Those who wish to enter the contest can still do so by submitting an essay describing their current economic condition and why they are deserving of the van. The deadline for submissions will be the Wednesday before Festival Day. Essays can be dropped off either at Custom Collision or the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce. The fun will start at about noon when the parade ends. The public will be able to mill around the shop and check out the shop and garage, and get a first-hand look at the equipment used to repair their cars. Havre Daily News/File Photo Austin Moore competees at the demolition derby during the 2014 Festival Days at the Great Northern Fairgrounds.

Steve Heil Memorial Car Show Last year Cassie and Ryan Albertson held the first Steve Heil Memorial Car Show. It was such a success they decided to give it another try. People interested in classic cars are urged to come by again this year. The show is in honor of Cassie’s father, Steve Heil, who was a classic car buff to beat all. The car show was for many years a Festival Days tradition, but it was discontinued several years ago, and the Albertsons thought it was time to revive it. “People liked it last year, and they asked us if we were interested in doing it again,” she said. Cars of all kinds will be on display, she said. The show will start at 6 p.m. Friday night at Independence Bank. People who want to display their cars can call the Albertsons at 262-7898 or just show up, she said.

Run of the Special Trains

Havre Daily News/File Photo The championship team from Havre, which came out on top at the annual 2014 Festival Days 48-Hour Softball Tournament, poses for a team photo at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Softball Field. The Havre team beat a team from Billings on a threerun homerun for their second straight 48-Hour Softball championship. Included in the photo are Billy Evans, Holly Cartwright, Paige Henderson, Chelsea Nottingham, Karly Evans, Erika Briese, Shane Kemmer, Dustin Heath, Brett Patrick, Shawn Keely and Ricky Brown. Not pictured were Dan Danielson and Jennifer Keller.

Havre Beneath the Street and the Frank DeRosa Railroad Museum will end the summer season with a bang as they present a special display of the trains Festival Days weekend. An extra set of trains will be set up in the basement, which is far more than visitors usually get to see said Christy Owns of the museum. The railroad museum offers a brief history of the railroad in Havre with complete model railroad trains running daily. An original hand cart and working block signal is on display. There is no charge to visit the railroad museum. And people are free to stay and see

Havre Beneath the Streets. The museum will be open 9 a,.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday on Festival Days weekend.

E-1 Towing Demolition Derby Jessica Erickson says her family enjoys sponsoring the Festival Days Demolition Derby because people enjoy the excitement of watching it. This is the third year E-1 Towing, the business owned by her and her husband, Ken. The popularity continues to grow, she said. The event will be 3 p.m. Saturday at the Great Northern Fairgrounds, she said. There will be the main event and a herby derby for smaller cars. Drivers get T-shirts and people can buy a limited number of sweatershirts, she said. The first-place winner gets $4,000, she said, with descending amounts for runnersup. Rules and sign-up forms are on the E-1 Towing Facebook page, she said.

Run/Walk If you want to take a leisurely walk with the family or compete in a 5K running race, the Festival Run/Walk is for you. “We take anybody,” said Debbie Callahan, co-chair of the annual event. Registration starts at noon at the RC Model Flying Club’ air field off 5th Avenue south of town. Callahan said the run/walk is a family affair. Registration is $10, but if you want a long-sleeve T-shirt, it costs $25. The run/walk begins at 1 p.m., while signup starts at noon, she said. “It’s for everybody of all ages,” she said.

Havre Daily News/Hi-Line Shopper “And the weather is going to be great,” she promised. The money raised will go to the Havre High School cross country team, she said. When the cross country team was established, she said, the budget-strapped school district stipulated that the team would have to raise much of its own funds. The money helps with the many incidental expenses, she said. HHS cross country coach Josh Holt will take part in the festivities as well as team members, she said. Chad Spangler, coach of Montana State University-Northern newly former cross country team, will also be there with his runners, she said. You can register at the scene or sign up ahead of time at the Havre area Chamber of Commerce, Independence Bank or the Havre Daily News.

Shriners Beef Raffle You can help donate to the children served by the Shriners Hospitals and take a chance at a winter’s supply of beef. Shriners will be around town selling the raffle tickets that have become a Festival Days tradition. A change this year, said Shriner Kevin Tweeten, is that the tickets will be $5 with a limit of 1,000 tickets. In the past, he said, the tickets were $1 each and five for $6. The winner will be drawn at Saturday’s Demolition Derby. First-place winner gets a half a beef, while the second and third-place winners get a quarter beef. The Shriners have hospitals around the country, but most local people take advantage of the Spokane, Washington, hospital. Young people with all kinds of maladies get free medical care from the Shriners

Customer Appreciation Day Custom Collision Repair wants to give customers and the public a view of its facilities and treat them to some free food during Festival Days weekend, with their annual Customer Appreciation Day. Chris Preputin, owner of Custom Collision Repair, said the event is about showing his customers gratitude for their support over the course of his eight years in business. He is opening up his shop to the public, and those in attendance will be able to tour the shop and see the garage and the technologies used to repair vehicles.

Havre Daily News/Alex Ross Chris Preputin stands in front of the 2003 Dodge Caravan restored by his business, Custom Collision Repair, which Preputin is donating to be given to someone in the area who is in need of a vehicle.
