events and activities in southwest montana
DESCRIPTION
This powerpoint will be about the events and activities in the summers under the Big Sky state. As an athlete and a person who enjoys the outdoors, I have the opportunity to live in the small town of Anaconda, MT, and experience some of the most fun and interesting tournaments, events and activities. The summers of Anaconda, MT have made many people’s memories a lifetime of unforgettable stories and laughter and you could share these stories and memories too! These slides will provide information about these activities. The events first start out with Independence Day (fireworks, parades, and celebrating America’s freedom). The tournaments and events include the Goosetown Softball tournament, Art in Washoe Park in Anaconda, as well as Evel Kneivel Days in Butte (~24 miles away). It will contain many pictures and the history of the events. The powerpoint will also include information on the booths, and will guarantee your excitement to join the fun.TRANSCRIPT
