I stopped over at Southgate Mall to check out the happenings with the 4th of July last weekend. The place was hopping! And it looks like the mall is going to be a pretty busy place for the next week as well. Here's four events happening at the mall between now and next Thursday (7/15.)

ROSE SHOW | July 10 | 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
It's the 75th Rose Show, presented by Missoula Rose Society. Local gardeners will have beautiful roses on display at The Concourse (across from American Eagle.)

Maybe I should show a few of these beauties that I put countless hours into bringing to life in my backyard......

Ok, you got me.....they just grow back every year on their own.....and I didn't even plant them to begin with.....the people that lived there before me did.

BITTERROOT CLASSIC CAR SHOW | July 10 | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Stop by and check out some sweet rides in the parking lot of the mall - on the HWY 93 side. It's the first event that The Five Valley Ford Club is putting on since 2019. They'll have door prizes, raffle drawings, music, and trophies for different categories at the show.
