Holiday Season

Just a reminder that we have entered the holiday season.  The Conservation District office will be closed November 11 for Veteran's Day, the 25-27th for Thanksgiving and December 24th and 25th for Christmas.  The office will be closed January 1 for New Year's Day. The Montana Association of Conservation District's annual convention is in Missoula so the CD office will also be closed November 17-20th.  Leave a message though or email since I'll be checking in at least once daily. As always it's best to call ahead to be sure someone will be in the office if you stop in.
