EUREKA â After being bumped by the pandemic, one of the longest-running community festivals in Northwest Montana makes its return this weekend and Eureka community leaders are anxious and excited over the return of Rendezvous Days .
Business leaders like Blanche Flanagan say Rendezvous was already a big event when she moved to town more than 30-years ago, and it will be nice to have it back. At that time they were doing Rendezvous in February. And it s like I m not going out in the cold in February. But we moved it to April because nine times out of ten it s a lot nicer. And we just have a lot of fun.

EUREKA â With the imminent arrival of another travel season, Montana s border communities face more COVID uncertainty. But they re also pulling together to keep business going.
âWe went from being a middle of the road community, to being two end of the road communities.â
Lincoln County Commissioner Josh Letcher says that separation between counties is especially acute in the Tobacco Valley, where the mix of people from Eureka, and the small towns north of the border remains on full stop by Canadian border restrictions. Coupled with local lockdowns, it s been a rough year.
