The Miles City Historic Preservation Office regrets that we must cancel the Luncheon Event: A Business Perspective: The Role of Historic Preservation in Downtown Miles City, scheduled for the Country Club at noon tomorrow, November 8th. Please let any of your colleagues that were considering joining us know of the cancellation as well.

Please accept our apologies, and we will keep you posted on new plans and events as they occur.

Mother Nature has intervened with a forecast for a major snowstorm crossing the state over the next few days. Our presenters are all from the Bozeman and Helena area. After much discussion, we agreed that as much as we would enjoy their presentations, we did not feel that traveling in severe weather was warranted.

The Community Conversation Event, scheduled for Thursday evening at the Eagles Rainbow Room will go on as planned at 7:00pm. Please join us at this kick-off event for the Downtown Project and share your insights and ideas in that venue. We will tailor that event to accomodate a discussion about business challenges faced in the Historic Downtown District as well.

The Community Conversation is sponsored by Hometown Humanities on behalf of the Miles City Historic Preservation Office, the Miles City Area Chamber of Commerce, Miles City Housing Authority, Miles City Area Economic Development Council and the Fort Keogh Livestock Research Station.
