Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 11th of August.
Good morning, Kalispell.
Kalispell’s Northwest Montana Fair will open Tuesday with new rodeo technology — free dog shows and upgraded bleachers ensuring more accessible seating.
Fair Director Sam Nunnally said the 123-year-old tradition will offer modern attractions alongside its long cherished history.
Summer rains and cool temperatures helped the Flathead River basin recover from a dry spring that led to low streamflows—SKQ Dam operators maintained Flathead Lake levels at one foot below full pool, and forecasters expect near-normal flows by the end of August.
Earlier forecasts predicted much lower levels, but a jetstream shift brought extra moisture that improved conditions despite ongoing statewide drought.
