The MDA thanks the market masters, the markets’ board members, and dedicated vendors for bringing such great local flavor to our downtown each year.
Clark Fork Coalition River Cleanup – Tuesday, October 22, 4:30-6pm along the river
The Clark Fork Coalition and Poverello Center will host a fall river cleanup along the River Trail in Downtown Missoula as part of the organization’s “Walk and Talks” learning series. The cleanup provides an opportunity for citizens to remove the trash that has gathered along the river. The event is free and open to the public, and participants should meet at the Madison Street pedestrian bridge at 4:30pm. Once there, they will receive bags and gloves before proceeding to pick up trash and recycling from the river. Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn more about both CFC and the Poverello Center at outreach tables.
