Polson Seniors: Fake Spring

Local folks know that we have twelve seasons. April is called Fake Spring because it snows and it’s cold. Winter ends on May 3, then Spring starts, or as we say, the season of road construction. It lasts until whenever the money runs out. No matter what the season, here are ways you can join us:
