News from the Northside/Westside neighborhood:
It’s hard to believe that August is here and kids are getting ready for school. There’s been a buzz of activity in college rentals, which is a sure sign of fall around the corner.
Every August one of the best parties in Missoula happens in the Northside-Westside neighborhood. We are so looking forward to this year’s annual MUD Garden Party.
MUD stands for The Missoula Urban Demonstration Project. It is a nonprofit organization that envisions an engaged community of empowered and aware individuals enjoying sustainable living through both community interdependence and self-reliance. MUD fosters sustainable living practices by providing a tool library, educational outreach opportunities and a community-focused demonstration site to residents of the Missoula urban.
This year’s event happens on August 28. If you were at the party last year, you know how they like to do it up! Come dressed to dance the night away to some great live music, indulge with local beer and a silent auction. A delicious dinner and entertainment are included in the entrance fee. This year’s party is titled “Get Dirty Missoula,” a tribute to their revitalized workshop series and all their upcoming site renovations.
All proceeds directly benefit MUD and help ensure that next year will be as fruitful and productive as this past year. Contact them at 721-7513 to volunteer or donate! Tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members; beer and wine cost extra.
It’s groups like MUD that make Missoula a fantastic place to live, so if you get a chance, check it out.
