Good morning, Helena.

Montana bars will donate a portion of sales on July 11 to support the family and staff of the late Carmel’s Sports Bar owner—fatally shot on June 20 in Anaconda—as organizers work to help heal the community.

Helena hosts a rare display of 1930s Chrysler Airflow cars as the Airflow Club of America brings its 60-year tradition to town this week.

The club selects a new host city each year (last year in Springfield and next in Auburn) to celebrate automotive history and a family reunion atmosphere.

B.Yellowtail, founded by designer Bethany Yellowtail, has unveiled its second collaboration with Carhartt; the collection is available now at Shipton's + Scheels.

Helena’s historic trolley no.

3 has been in an old MOT (Montana Department of Transportation) truck shop for 20 years after running until the 1920s and restoration began in 2006 but slowed after volunteer George Hoff died. The Heritage Preservation Office invites community help to reassemble scattered parts.

Helena businesses and advocates are raising Alzheimer’s and dementia awareness in June through the Paint the Town Purple campaign, with local spots painting windows, offering purple drinks, and showcasing purple décor.

Donations will support Alzheimer’s research + memory care resources, and residents are encouraged to join the effort.
