Good morning, Billings.

On Saturday, hundreds rode in Billings Heights to honor 31-year-old DJ Blyton, who died on July 10 in a motorcycle crash; his friend Erika Haaby said he loved vehicles and helped others + many bikers and tow truck drivers came together from the region to show respect.

A car show on the MSU Billings campus honors Jeff Zinne, who died in March when winds derailed his chairlift on Red Lodge Mountain.

His wife Meghan organized the memorial on his birthday featuring his treasured 1989 Honda CR-X—one car that started a legacy of community remembrance.

Family Service in Billings works with Feeding America and the Montana Food Bank Network to collect and distribute nearly 4 million pounds of food weekly for families in need across Yellowstone County and nearby areas—sorting donations to ensure excess food even benefits local pig farmers—providing crucial support to the community.

Michael Glen, the first wheelchair-bound hot air balloon pilot, overcame an FAA denial in 2006 due to his disability and shared his journey at the Big Sky Balloon Rally at Amend Park this week.

He learned about ballooning as an infant (watching his father fly) and pursued his dream after a car crash left him paralyzed at 21 (a testament to his determination).
