Kaycee Fredson, 10, has been a part of Relay For Life for eight years, when she first started as a caregiver for her grandfather. She says her favorite part of the event is meeting and being with the survivors.

Katie, a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, celebrated her first Relay For Life event as a survivor along with her handler, Kurt Stabenau of Three Forks. Katie was diagnosed two years ago and has six months of treatment left.

The first lap, or the survivors lap,was led by (L to R) Libby Nevin, Jeff Borsuk, Don Neville and Meg Sammons. According to the Relay For Life of Madison County website, seven teams and 31 participants raised over $17,000 to help the fight against cancer.

PARADE T-SHIRT ART Hot Spot

Submitted by Kenzi Clark, Ennis Chamber of Commerce Gerry Mooney won the Ennis chamber’s annual art competition for the Fourth of July rodeo and parade t-shirt art contest. Mooney is a professional photographer and photography instructor from the San Francisco Bay area who spends a good portion of his time in Madison Valley.

Resisting Change sinCe 1863!

Some folks made a fortune here... But what they left behind is priceless. All of Montana has the deepest pride and affection for Virginia City. No more colorful pioneer mining camp ever existed. Dramatic tales of the early days in this vicinity are legion. Rich placer diggings were discovered in Alder Gulch in the spring of 1863 and the stampede of gold seekers and their parasites was on! Sluices soon lined the gulch and various “cities” blossomed forth as trading and amusement centers for free-handed miners. Virginia City, the best known of these and the sole survivor, became the Capitol of the Territory. The very much alive ghost town, Virginia City, Montana, is frozen in time. It is a remarkably well-preserved Old West Victorian gold mining town just 50 miles west of Yellowstone National Park (90 miles by road). When the gold ran out, there was still enough left so that homes and businesses were occupied, but there was not enough wealth to remodel the buildings. So it froze, and now represents the whole Victorian era. Virginia City is the true and original Old West. It is a gem, held within an incredibly rich area of natural beauty, recreation and history.
