Montana has a special place in my heart -- and this year that place is even BIGGER. Montana's Governor and First Lady, Brian and Nancy Schweitzer, stepped forward for the "Coats from the Captiols" campaign early and used this coat drive as part of their message about being "Winter Ready".
On October 14th Mrs. Schweitzer kicked off the First Lady's Coat drive in Billings with First Interstate Bank and members of the Montana Conservation Corp.
First Interstate Bank, with 66 branches in Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota, will be collecting coats thru November -- giving all coats to a local agency.
Since there was a record setting first snowfall on October 6th, I bet lots of folks in Montana were cleaning out their closets.
