The business has served its members and customers by sharing the success of the cooperative model through its patronage dividends returned to members each year along with the reinvestment of improved facilities such as the new one in Townsend. “We will look to continue to expand our presence throughout Southwest Montana by offering more products and services to its members and customers,”, Chief Executive Officer Brad Gjermo said.

Girl Scout STEM Van Coming to Townsend, MT
2023-06-09 15:00 - 16:30 | Broadwater County Library
Billings, MT—May 31, 2023—Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming (GSMW) will be bringing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programming to Townsend, MT on Friday, June 9 from 3:00pm – 4:30pm with their Mobile STEM Learning Center. Programming will take place at the Townsend Library located at 201 N. Spruce Street. All programming is free and open to girls in grades K-12.
The Mobile STEM Learning Center is a new resource to GSMW that will provide valuable programming to girls across 78 communities across Montana and Wyoming. The cargo-style van is equipped with solar to power the myriad of technology available to youth, including 3D printers, microscopes, virtual reality headsets, drones, and more.
The Mobile STEM Learning Center will show possibilities, provide knowledge, and give hands-on STEM experience to girls at an early age. While more than half of the U.S. workforce is female, less than one quarter of STEM careers are held by women. From their initial interest in STEM as a child to majoring in a STEM subject in college to pursuing a STEM career as an adult, the gender disparity needs to change at every stage of girls’ and women’s STEM engagement.
Approximately 67% of the population in Montana and Wyoming is rural. This translates to hurdles that can include a lack of access to honors courses, high-level technology business exposure, as well as limited access to quality curriculum and vigorous and engaging math and science courses.
The Mobile STEM Learning Center will allow GSMW to create and optimize an environment where girls explore freely, expand their perspectives, and hopefully pique their interest and confidence to explore STEM even more. To view additional tour dates or to learn more about this project, you can visit www.gsmw.org or contact Rachael Bahre at rachaelb@gsmw.org or at 406-252-0488.

Historic Canton Church Presents: Helena Handbasket
2023-06-09 17:00 - 18:30 | Canton Church, 3497 Hwy 284, Townsend, MT, 59644, United States
Helena Handbasket is a local (Helena and Townsend) area band playing an “Americana” style of music. The band includes 4-5 musicians depending on the event. Jim and Terry Gunderson are local musicians and artisans that own and operate the Goose Bay Glass shop in Townsend and are 2 of the musicians in Helena Handbasket.
Helena Handbasket is an oldtime stringband from the Helena, Montana-area who met twenty years ago as members of the Helena Parlour Pickers. The members include fiddler Terry Williams, Jim Gundersen on concertina and banjo, David Payne on guitar and Candace Payne on upright bass. The gang’s first gig occurred in 2005 when they played for the Missouri River fishing lodge, and they’ve been playing for dances and parties ever since. Their repertoire spans the range of old-time Americana to Celtic traditional–and be prepared for some sweet harmony during an occasional western swing song.
