Alumni Weekend & Flotilla
Twin Bridges Flotilla and Alumni Weekend return the fourth weekend in July, with events scheduled for July 25 and 26, 2026. This year’s theme is Stars, Stripes & Montana Skies, celebrating 250 years of American independence! Activities will kick off Friday evening and run throughout Saturday. The weekend features the annual flotilla river parade, horseshoe tournament, farmers market, community BBQ, duck races, and alumni dinner. Additional events are being organized across town, including a car show, swap meet, and live music put together by Route 287 Trading Company in partnership with local businesses. Community members, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to participate. We are currently seeking float entries for the river parade, as well as vendors, activity hosts, and groups interested in joining the weekend. Looking ahead, we hope to grow this into a lively tradition that many remember. Whether you enter a float, host an activity, set up as a vendor, or just show up with a friend, every bit of participation helps bring it back to life.

Main Street Scarecrows & Straw Bale Decorating Contest:
As summer fades and fall settles in, Main Street comes alive with the season’s charm, and our scarecrows return to welcome the seasonal shift. In 2025, we added a Straw Bale Decorating Contest with two categories: Best Autumnal Bale and Best Halloween Bale. Many thanks to the High family for lending the straw bales, to our treasurer, Kathy, and to Coach Herak and the Twin Bridges Football Team for delivering the bales around town! Winners each received a $ 100 value gift basket. Congratulations to Alisa Smith with the Blue Anchor (fall) and Kinnell Steward with Ruby Valley Medical Center (Halloween).
