James “The Man” Reeves sends this update from the field.

• Polson Park: Totally Dry but in need of a good sweeping
• St. Ignatious: Totally Dry
• Missoula Park: Mostly Dry
• Kalispell park: all the mini stuff is skateable but bowl is full still (not from James).
• and SHEC is open again.

Head South my friends and bring a broom and/or squeegee with you.

Update:
Logan Triplett also informs us Whitehall skatepark is dry and the Bozeman park is about 1 quarter dry, and in the process of being cleared out.

Is it dry in your neck of the woods? Let us know in the comments.

An adult and a juvenile have been cited for criminal mischief in connection with the graffiti at the Skate Park. Two to three other juveniles are under scrutiny and could be charged in the coming days.
Nickolai J. Gawsowski, 26, of Dillon, has been arrested and charged with criminal mischief, and a 17-year-old juvenile male has been cited into Juvenile Court on criminal mischief charges. According to Dillon Police Chief John Gutcheck, good leads on other alleged perpetrators, combined with more corrobative information should result in charges on a minimum of two and possibly three more juveniles in the near future.
“There have been a lot of contacts, not necassarily names, but descriptions,” said Gutcheck of the unusual public response. “They have been coming forward with bits and pieces, which is like a puzzle. You put it all together and you get a big picture. Each little piece doesn’t seem to fit anywhere until you start connecting the dots.
“We’re obtaining a lot more information from people that are just outraged at what has taken place.”
