TOGETHER WITH
Howdy, Bozeman!
Congrats to our Farmers’ Market giveaway winner — Whitney Metzger! 🎉 We just sent you an email with details on how to claim your market bucks.
A quick thanks to everyone who replied last week with community members who had a positive impact on them! One of my biggest goals with Howdy Bozeman is to bring more positivity and joy to our community, and this feels like a great way to add to that. I appreciate every one of you reading 💛
In today’s edition:
🗓️ The Bozeman Half Marathon, Gold Rush, and a community walk
🤠 Top local events this weekend
🍻 A MAP Brewing giveaway
— Sam Buenrostro
P.S. For free entry into this week’s giveaway, reply to this email with the word “MAP”.
And for a BONUS entry, reply with a shoutout to someone who made your week better 🙂 Include their name and what you appreciate about them, and we’ll share some of the top answers in next week’s newsletter (your answers will be anonymous!)
Here are some of last week’s responses:
“Jolie F brightened my day, showing me her garden!”
“My friend Austin Shattuck is a master day brightener! We run together and workout a couple times a week and he is fantastic at being a good friend. He shows interest in your life, is happy to talk about his life, asks good questions that help you deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation and is very comfortable to be around. There are many more qualities he has that make him a good friend, but that would make this post way too long. All in all, men in this valley are isolated and detached from quality community, so I feel very fortunate to have a person like Austin Shattuck that knows how to be a solid friend!”
“Shoutout to Breanne Hutchens (coworker) who told me about Pine Creek Lodge having a music festival this past weekend. My family went and we had a blast!”
“My shoutout is for Jason Baide at the Gem Gallery. He worked with my schedule on a project and it turned out beautifully.”
“I want to appreciate The Gathering Place child care center in Bozeman, as they are sadly facing a closure. They have provided great care to the families in Bozeman for years. I am heart broken to see them go.”
“Someone who always amazes me is Sue Kaul and Heather Reeves who are over the Love Inc. clothes closet in Belgrade. They spend countless hours a week stocking and the entire store, helping shop for those in need and scheduling people to help serve and work when the store is open. They are a mom and daughter duo who help this community in tremendous ways.”
TOGETHER WITH MAP BREWING
