Missoula Ready for ‘Out to Lunch’ and ‘Downtown Tonight’
Kristen Sackett, Marketing and Events Director shared the information with KGVO.
“Both events are absolutely on,” said Sackett. “They are taking off Wednesday and Thursday and for the most part will look relatively like it would have in 2019. We do have fewer food vendors than usual, although part of that is because people have just such amazing trucks are they ve kind of expanded and grown their businesses so we only have space for about 13 food trucks at this point.”
Sackett said masks are recommended, but not required for both events.
“Masks are not required, as we re in a public open space,” she said. “However, they are certainly highly recommended if you re in line for the food vendors are under the pavilion just to increase that safety, but if you find yourself on the hill enjoying your lunch, please feel free to take it off and walk around and we will also have hand sanitizing stations available

Murao wins with textbook uchi-mata
Murao Sanshiro shone in the -90kg final. The young japanese judoka faced Germany’s Eduard Trippel and won it with a textbook uchi-mata for ippon. It was a timely reminder for the Olympics selectors.
Not only did my coach, Kosei Inoue, travel here just for me, but he is a teacher at my university, and he is an athlete I really look up to. So it is a great honour to be here with him, and fight together.
