Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times -

When was the last time you were excited about dirt?

Belinda Cameron, along with the other eight employees at Roundup Hardware and Ranch, are all excited about dirt, spring and all things hardware. Spring is coming and the store is getting ready for their busy season.

Belinda is the new manager at the hardware store. She is in the midst of currently overseeing a reset of the store with new shelving, new products, and eventually a remodeling of the entire space.

Belinda moved to Roundup in 2019 from Washington state. She followed her beloved Scott here, stayed for a few weeks, then went back to Washington. Times were tough, living in her truck, dealing with addiction, and six months later, Scott again came to her rescue. His defining question to her, "Are you done?"

She returned to Montana and Roundup. Belinda cleaned bars in town, then applied for, and got, a job as clerk in the hardware store. She moved up from clerk to cashier then assistant manager and now is the manager of Roundup Hardware and Ranch.

Her journey as a recovered addict is truly inspirational. She loves Roundup and the people she serves. She loves that we know our neighbors in Roundup, that Roundup cares for and helps each other. That's what makes a small town like Roundup a great place to live.

Roundup Hardware and Ranch is one of many stores owned by a Billings company. All their stores are based in Montana and are not part of a large chain. Shop local and help keep this small business alive. Stop in today and say 'hi' to Belinda and crew. They love bolts and nails, paint and pipes, and, of course, dirt!
