Looking forward to a new year!
January was also when 1st Bank of Montana opened in place of Wells Fargo.
Sights of a Grizzly Bear in Chouteau County was a hot topic in June.
February , the word was out that the CHS elevator would be closing in Big Sandy.
Big Sandy High School Seniors throwing their caps in celebration of the end of their wacky senior year. They were thankful to be able to have a graduation ceremony when so many didn't get to have one.
February the Pioneer boys basketball won 3rd place at Districts and headed to Divisionals.
In April, with the school being shut down through the end of the year, the teachers did a parade to see their students.
September, school is back in class and sports are a little different, above shows what 6-man football was like with limited fans.
August brought the grasshoppers, and how it made harvest a tough one.
Editor's Note
Usually, on the first week of the new year, the Big Sandy Mountaineer covers a brief review of the following year's news. Since I have been involved with the paper for the last two years, we went back and covered all the events the Mountaineer wrote articles over the year. I have decided not to repeat that pattern, as so many of the regular yearly events have been canceled;
Schools went to remote learning, and all sports were canceled, Senior trip canceled, and graduation outside. Homecoming was canceled. And although there was no July 4th celebration the year before, because of COVID, there was no chance to revive it. No Chili feed. No Big Sandy Guild rummage sale. No Christmas stroll.
It is my hope you will enjoy this photographic review of the year 2020.
