There's no better way to support small towns in Montana that have been affected by the historic flooding than to spend your dollars directly with locally owned businesses.

Towns such as Red Lodge (and many other small communities) are posting things like this on social media:

As Red Lodge rapidly repairs from the recent floods, we want to make sure that all locals and tourists understand that RED LODGE IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
Our main street was NOT affected by the floods. Our water is NOT on a boil order.
Our shops and restaurants are open and are welcoming tourists from all over!

Spending money, staying overnight, planning a day trip and having a meal in these towns is the easiest way to support them. They WANT visitors to come and enjoy what they have to offer. Play a round of golf. Grab some lunch. Buy a locally made gift. It all helps.
