The Firewood Bank of the Ruby Valley (FBRV) meets every Thursday morning. just outside of Sheridan to cut, split and stack wood for their charitable cause.

Dr. Robert Marks has only lived in Ennis for thirteen years but based on the impact he has left on its hospital, patients, and community, the honor of Grand Marshal could have come a long time ago. When given the news Marks joked “I didn’t think I was old enough, the miles must count.”

Over memorial Day weekend a group of five ennis volunteers helped to run the montana state track and field finals for Class AA and Class A. Although this group varies in age and background they share one thing in common, a love for track and field.
