Spring break for college students is typically mid to late March. For the most part, it’s the disreputable week of jet-setting to warm weather locations, for young adults to decompress from their bookwork by engaging in some risky and questionable behavior.
Most of these activities take place in locations like Florida. So, it came as quite a surprise when one undergraduate from the Sunshine State opted to spend her spring break traveling to Montana instead with very a generous load of winter clothing for the Women in Timber Thrift Store in Superior.
Lauren Widman attends Northwest Florida State College, and though she may be a resident down near the sandy beaches, her heart has always found a home in Montana.
“I live in Destin, Florida, but my family lives in Montana and Washington. We love the area, so we try to fly up to Montana as often as possible. My grandparents live in St. Regis, so we love rafting, having bonfires and going on scenic drives.”
The other thing she enjoys most is thrifting with her grandma, Penny Fish, from St. Regis.
