Heritage Days Celebrates Glacier's Centennial
Yesterday, Monday, July 19, Hertiage Days 2010 kicked-off with the Opening Ceremonies held at Marantette Park. The day included games, vendors, a BBQ and some very fitting and unique speakers, who joined us to deliver their addresses to the public and most especially to our guests of honor, the Montana Veterans. The ceremonies came to a close with an unscheduled and unexpected fly-over. Watch the video slideshow below to see some highlights from the day.

The 2010 Heritage Days celebration is being developed to coincide with the Glacier National Park Centennial and is being planned as a week long event, running from July 19 through July 25. The kick-off meeting of the Heritage Days Committee for 2010 planning was held Monday, August 31, 2009 at Marantette Park. Some very good ideas were submitted for consideration. If you would like to participate on the planning committee or events staff please contact the Heritage Days Committee - volunteers are needed and most welcome.
As details for the 2010 celebration are confirmed they will be posted on the Events page. 2010 should be a very exciting year. Please check back from time to time and we hope to see you all again in 2010.
