Good morning, Helena.

One year after a fire damaged a structure at the Lewis and Clark County fairgrounds and caused over $280,000 in property loss, the site has replaced about 95% of its lost tools, equipment, and vehicles — and the fairgrounds manager plans to install a pre-fabricated building on the stable foundation by summer.

Family Promise of Greater Helena will open its 16-room shelter in June.

The facility, formerly known as Ruth's Place, is set to support local families in need.
