From ag to construction...banking, accounting, and insurance...we had a GREAT industry panel all around at the Montana Equipment Dealers Association annual meeting in Whitefish last week.

It's always a good news story when a family business gets to stay in business. And, I always enjoy hearing a great veteran entrepreneur success story- when people who served our country are able to own a business of their own.

The major renovation and construction on the Gallatin Valley Mall in Bozeman has begun. If fact, a large chunk of the Mall isn't even there anymore.
