Backroads of Montana

(No. 125) Two Dot to Fishtail

Special | 28m 48s

In this episode we stop at one of Montana's legendary night-clubs, The Sip & Dip in Great Falls, with the piano stylings of Pat Sponheim. We also visit a knife maker in Missoula; Montana's oldest general store in Fishtail; and the Wheatland Senior Citizen's Center in Harlowton - which has been a source of strength for its director Irene Schuchcard. The program originates from Two Dot, Montana.
