summer

I can't believe it, it's almost time for the Missoula Osrey to kick off their season. Home opener is set for Wednesday, June, 24th! Even better news, you could get paid to be at the games. The Missoula Osprey are searching for very enthusiastic bat boys and girls to work this season at Ogren Park Allegiance Field...

Where are the best places to float the Clark Fork River? Where are the safe launch points to load and unload your floats or drift boats? Thanks to our friends at King Fisher Fly Shop, we have a few recommendations to help you enjoy the most of what this exciting river has to offer, including maps!

Recent warm temperatures has put Montana snowpack at some of its lowest levels ever this April.

The state summer games for Special Olympics Montana will be coming to Missoula this summer.

Staying cool in the summer is important. Getting kids to drink enough can be especially hard. It seems that every summer at least one of my boys gets a minor case of dehydration. The heat and blazing sun doesn’t seem to bother them.

Summertime in Missoula, when the river traffic is worse than the road traffic. Montanans are in the water as much as humanly possible in the summer, so it's pretty tough to avoid river and lake fails, especially during float trips.

There have been far too many stories in the news this summer about parents leaving their kids in the car while they go in and shop. This is not okay! We all know that a quick trip in the store can end up being much more than that.

The girls here at the office have some insane conversations, I'm sure the chicks at your work do the same. The other day, in one of our more innocent exchanges, we started talking about smelly flip flops and it came to my attention that girls actually wash their sandals.

My boys love sports. They play all kinds. However, we usually have a break from them in the summer and try to focus on fishing and camping. This doesn’t mean my kids still don’t want to play sports, though.

The National Weather Service Office in Missoula is looking at the summer of 2014 to be perhaps a bit warmer, and a bit wetter than last year.

Summer jobs can be great, or they can be really crappy. Not everyone gets the dream lifeguard gig, where you get to sit in the sun all day, work on your tan and chase tail around the local pool. Some people have to do actual physical labor, while sweating their balls off and hardly making any money.

Missoula Parks and Recreation will open Splash Montana, weather permitting on Saturday, May 24.
