WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Does anyone recognize this hat??? We would love to know who it belonged to and why it was signed by so many Fromberg people.

We were unpacking some donated items the other day and this signed & pin laden cowboy hat was one of the items. I called one of the signers & she thought maybe this was from Fromberg's Diamond Jubilee celebration about Sept 1986 or 1987 but wasn't sure. It was in a box with Nonie Nile's father's Army uniform.

With a grant and matching museum funds the Museum was able to update the out-dated 40 year old electric baseboard heat with a duo-unit that has air conditioning as well as heat. A big Thank You to all the patrons who buy from the bake sales & Sam Coulimor for installing the new unit.

Hey Fromberg Neighbors!

We’ve got some super exciting news that we just *can’t wait* to share with all of you! Get ready, because Fromberg has been chosen as one of only eighteen communities across our whole state of Montana to be part of an awesome program called the "Reimagining Rural" initiative. Isn't that fantastic?! This really shows just how special, full of potential, and unique our little town is!

This isn't just a fancy title; it's a huge opportunity for us! This program is all about helping us team up, get creative, and spark new growth. It means Fromberg gets an amazing chance to connect with and learn from other towns around Montana. We'll be soaking up all sorts of great ideas on how to boost our local economy and make sure Fromberg thrives for years to come.

And guess what else? Just by being selected, we’re immediately getting a $2,000 grant! This money is specifically for making some real improvements right here in Fromberg, and there's a good chance for even more support down the road. Think of it as a wonderful investment in our shared future!

But here's the *really* important part: this whole thing only works if *you* get involved! Your ideas, your thoughts, your voices – they're what will make Fromberg shine even brighter. We want *everyone* – all our neighbors, young and old, families and friends – to be a part of this amazing adventure.

To get the ball rolling and brainstorm all these awesome ideas, we're hosting three super fun community workshops in February. We figure the best ideas happen when folks are relaxed, enjoying some good food, and chatting with friends! So mark your calendars for these dates:

* **February 4th**
* **Where:** Fromberg Gym Commons
* **5:00 PM - 6:00 PM:** "Eat & Greet" Social Hour (come mingle and grab a bite!)
* **6:00 PM - 8:00 PM:** Community Workshop
* **Special Event:** **Soup Cook-off!** Got a killer soup recipe? Bring your favorite homemade soup in a crockpot to enter! We're giving away cash prizes for the top two culinary creations: $50 for first place, and $25 for second place! Please have your soup ready at the Gym Commons by 5:00 PM. Yum!

* **February 11th**
* **Where:** Fromberg Gym Commons
* **5:00 PM - 6:00 PM:** "Eat & Greet" Social Hour
* **6:00 PM - 8:00 PM:** Community Workshop

* **February 18th**
* **Where:** Gebo Saloon Backroom
* **5:00 PM - 6:00 PM:** "Eat & Greet" Social Hour
* **6:00 PM - 8:00 PM:** Community Workshop

We truly need your presence and insights at these workshops! We'll be chatting, dreaming big, and figuring out the best ways to make Fromberg an even better place to live, work, and play for everyone.

We really can't wait to see you there and build an amazing future for Fromberg, together!
