Message from our host Jim Smith:

“The summer, no sweeter was ever….”  From The Spell of the Yukon, by Robert W. Service. 

With those haunting words in mind, I’m off to the deep woods of the Lolo National Forest in Mineral county for a few days of camping & hiking & with my brother and a couple of dear friends, one from Arizona and the other from Texas.  The week is going to be warm but the forest will be cool.  The best news of the summer so far is that it has been fire-free in western Montana.  How nice it would be to have a summer without the smoke and fires of the last several years!  ‘FC'…I just learned that stands for ‘fingers crossed.’ 
 
Emily McVey, Executive Director of the United Way for the Lewis and Clark Area, will be your Hometown Hostess this week.  And, we have another fun and fact filled hour planned for you (see below).  We’ve long anticipated the return of the Grandstreet Theater cast to Hometown Helena.  This is the week!  
 
We talk a lot about politics and economics at Hometown, but arts and culture are an equally important part of our life here in Helena.  Does anyone recall the cry of the striking textile  workers, the vast majority of whom were young women, in 1912 in Lawrence, MA?  “Give us bread, but give us roses too.”  In labor history it’s called ‘The Bread and Roses Strike”  
 
Please join us in person or via the zoom this Thursday for another great Hometown Helena.
