The Clark Fork Valley Hospital provided free testing and information concerning Diabetes and representatives from St. Pat's hospital, and Health Care Plus travelled from Missoula and Polson to share what they know about Diabetes care.

The Cub Scouts, U.S. Forest Service, Take Off Pounds Safely (TOPS), Curves, Back Country Horsemen, McGowans, Lions Club and Kathy Legard presented information about fun ways to stay active for all age groups and dietary needs.

The Fair Grounds looked great too. Thanks to Kim McNeil and the gang who help him.

Diabetes can be a challenge, but it sure is nice to know we live a great place to take care of it.

Thank you very much,
