Seems that the Rounduo post office is having settling issues. The north side had some repairs recently to help with that corner of the building. Postmistress SandySchrumpf stated that the entire building is settling. The search for a new location was not successful, so repairs will be done as needed.

In this case, the "Lock Down" lasted for less than half an hour. During...
A fisherman off the bridge by the fairgrounds on a sultry day of early Fall. And on a hot day, what's better than hanging on a rope then dropping into the Musselshell river? Food trucks - why do we love them? Think back to chuck wagons, they were perhaps the original food trucks. But research claims the first food truck was in Los Angeles with a taco truck. Now it seems they're everywhere. Including Roundup on a Sunday afternoon. With cooler temperatures coming, it's time to start thinking of...
Master gardeners live on Second Street West. Just look at their yard! Max and Pat work hard at it, you can tell. Lovers of the land, lovers of dirt, lovers of plants and it shows. If some of the greenery looks familiar, Max and Pat for a time placed flowers nd greenery outdoors at the Emmanuel Baptist Church. Now those same flowers are still blooming on their porch, a testament to the loving care of this couple. Max told of driving a farm truck at the age or 4, barely able to see over the...

World War II Disaster in Our County On Dec 30, 1942 a B17 bomber, commonly known as the 'Flying Fortress', crashed about 10 miles south of Musselshell. There were eleven men that perished, according to one report. Another report mentions twelve. This plane was on a training flight out of the Great Falls Army Air Corps base. While flying over Melstone, the aircraft caught fire for an undetermined reason. Shortly thereafter, it went out of control, dove into the ground, and crashed on the slope...

That old bank building on Main Street got new windows recently. Come to the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum and read about the history of this old...
As we finally get some good weather and get out into nature, are you aware of this new requirement? Last year's Montana Legislative Session saw many bills signed by Governor Gianforte. One bill was House Bill #521. Beginning July of 2023, everyone and anyone who recreates on state lands will be required to purchase a Montana Conservation License to access many sites previously open with few restrictions to the public. That includes people launching a boat, enjoying a hike, bird watching,...

Parades are common on this day. Since 1868, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, has held annual Memorial Day parades which it claims to be the nation's oldest continuously running. The annual "Pig-Nic" is...
The Senior Kitchen MCCOA underwent some changes recently. I sat down with Tracy Moody and Natalie Hazleton to discuss what's been going on over there. Tracy came onto the scene in December, 2023. Natalie has been working at MCCOA for some years. Now Ashley Blackcrow Craig recently became the kitchen's cook. Musselshell County Council on Aging is separate from the Golden Thimble and the Food Bank. Although all three share common areas, they are really separate services. MCCOA concentrates on...
1.When hiring teachers, some administrators consistently prioritize athletic coaching over teaching ability. How would you react if our school superintendent did that? We hire teachers if they can coach, great. I don’t hire someone to coach if perhaps they can teach. We have a hard enough time hiring teachers. 2. Relative to other schools, does our public school have trouble hiring and retaining good teachers? This is an endemic problem throughout the state. People are getting out of the education field, and perhaps the lower salary schedule d...
Two more new signs sprouted up lately. 1st Security Bank and Big Sky Motel are both sporting new signs. 1st Security updated their reader board sign to a new color model. Per Shawn Dutton, the old sign had been in place for over 20 years, and parts to fix it were impossible to find. At the same time, the sign on the building face was updated to LED lighting and a newer brighter color. LED lights also were installed in the parking lot. A nice upgrade! Another good look on Main Street came to the...

Roundup's First Welcome Center! This is a big deal everyone. Our new kiosk will help visitors find their way around our little part of Montana. So if you think that welcome kiosk is not important, think again. We should love tourists and the money they bring to our beautiful part of Montana. Tourism in Montana generated $5.45 billion last year. Tourism also brought down your average tax burden by an estimated $930. Thanks to all who helped make this welcome center project a success!

Those Wayfinding Signs! Wayfinding signs - another joint effort of the Montana Main Street project as designed by Roundup resident Morgan Belveal.

Seen Around Town New Shopping on Main That vacant space at the corner of 2nd Avenue and Main Street? It's now filled. Tonia and Urban Bencomo opened 'Chanel's Little Bit of Everything' just the other day. The front window is an eye-catcher. Tonia will be selling her refurbished furniture. Then together with Urban, and other family members, will offer new and gently used items for sale. They are not taking donations of used items, as they do not consider this a thrift store. Store hours are in...
When the notice came out about an upcoming June election, I felt a need to understand a little more about what this election was about, and why an election is necessary. Mayor Sandra Jones recently took some time out of her busy day to explain a few facts to me about the election. As per the Montana Constitution, every ten years municipalities must vote on the type of government they wish for their town or city. There are choices and, as the Mayor pointed out, change is good and sometimes...
