Wild & Scenic Film Festival 2017
Thanks to a generous donation from the Blue Note, we were back in our favorite venue for the 7th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival.
We usually count on horrible February weather to drive our nature loving friends inside to enjoy an afternoon of films with friends, but this year the weather was beautiful. But almost 500 people still showed up and packed the Blue Note!
Thanks to all of those great attendees, the generosity of our sponsors (check out the list on the right), the fantastic donations of silent auction items from the community, unbelievable homemade treats, our amazing Alpine Shop "box office" and the hard work of our volunteers and the Blue Note staff, the whole event raised $5000 beyond expenses for Missouri River Relief!
Plus we got to enjoy three hours of fantastic films and the truly wonderful music of Ruth Acuff and Jeff Mueller in the historic Blue Note. What a day! Scroll down for links to watch most of the films.
Thanks to all of you that made it happen!

Grants support Missouri River Education and Action
Missouri River Relief will be awarding $22,750 to eight organizations in three states through the "Missouri River Action Team Mini-Grant" program.
This mini-grant program is focused on supporting projects that will expose people to, increase knowledge about and change people's perception about the Missouri River. It's part of an Environmental Education grant that Missouri River Relief received in 2015 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The funds for the mini-grants are from the EPA.
