A.J. ETHERINGTON THE COURIER The Middle of Nowhere Polar Plunge, held Dec. 1 and put on by the Glasgow Police Department and the Valley County Sheriff's Office, saw a huge crowd of over 250 people to watch 66 brave Northeast Montanans dive into a pool of frigid water to support Special Olympics Montana.

The vehicle was discovered and reported by company employees...

I think it’s great the Glasgow Chamber puts together a Christmas Stroll in order to get families together and kick off the holiday season. I have had the pleasure of attending two Christmas Strolls since moving to Glasgow and enjoyed the hayrides put on by Cornwell Ranch, the Festival of Lights parade and seeing Santa. I loved how the Chamber expanded the stroll this year to include free hot chocolate from the Durum and face painting in front of the Children’s Museum by Brianna Overbey. Unfortunately this year, I could not make the event due to...
A Christmas Confession – I really do not care for the holiday, or the extended celebration of consumerism. For years I’ve tried to follow my own rule of allowing only two Christmas-related activities prior to Thanksgiving: making travel arrangements for the holiday and bemoaning how Christmas sales have encroached into other holidays. Last week, however, I broke my own rule. I attended a Christmas-themed record release party hosted by the Glasgow High School Swing Choir. The group proved why some rules are meant to be broken. Presenting rec...

By the time you read this, we’ll have made another trip to and from Billings. There’s always a follow-up appointment after a surgical procedure. That’s a good thing. I appreciate a doctor who wants to make sure you’re healing well and following his instructions. Now that I have to be the “responsible” driver, I’m not getting any crocheting done while on the road. Dennis had always been the driver, and he’s so good that I’m able to completely relax and be creative with yarns and hooks while stuck in the vehicle. I’ve never felt the need to be hy...
