Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 25th of August.
Good morning, Billings.
🏘️ Community
Dozens gathered on Saturday at Poly Vista Park for the opening of Landon’s Inclusive Playground on Billings West End, built in memory of a local teen so that children of all abilities can play together.
The $1.3 million playground, funded by Landon’s Legacy through private donations, features accessible equipment — like a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round — and will add a splash pad and pavilion as fundraising continues.
🚧 Accidents
Billings firefighters worked fast to rescue a driver from a rolled SUV after it hit a Yellowstone County patrol vehicle on South 27th Street near 10th Avenue South on Sunday (the driver was taken by ambulance to a local hospital) (a crowd gathered and blocked traffic briefly).
Billings firefighters quickly contained a brush fire near Fireside Lanes outside Industrial Avenue at around 3 p.m. Sunday—stopping damage inside the bowling alley and limiting the burn to a small spot on an exterior wall while the cause is being checked and the closed business will open again over Labor Day weekend.
📰 Economy
It is harvest season in Montana and a 23-year-old British farmer is working with a crew that operates large combines over thousands of acres while she documents her work online—her YouTube channel, Berkshire Farm Girl, shares her daily challenges and inspiring views of the fields.
Her experience highlights how women are making a mark in the busy agriculture business.
