GREAT FALLS â 2020 was the year of COVID-19, but the far-reaching impacts of the pandemic went beyond case numbers and mask mandates. Western Art Week events, rodeos and concerts at the MontanaFair, St. Patrickâs Day parades and more fell by the wayside as health officials cautioned against large gatherings.
While the pandemic is not over, health officials and the general public certainly know much more about the virus that causes COVID-19. Thatâs led us to where we are now: event planners are beginning to devise plans and work with local health officials to revive the events that were lost in 2020.
Between 1,000 and 1,500 COVID-19 vaccine appointments will be available to Cascade County residents age 70 and older on Thursday at 9 a.m.
The appointments will be scheduled for Monday, Wednesday or Friday at Montana ExpoPark s Family Living Center (400 3rd St. NW).
