Hi List, Ruthie Bushnell suggested I share some information for those of you thinking about coming to Libby but hadn't been able to find a room in Libby. Her suggestion was that you might find a room in Troy. Troy is only about 18 to 20 miles from Libby. Ruthie says that there are 2 motels in Troy. You might want to contact her personally for information . To my knowledge all the rooms in Libby are filled up. Most of the rooms in town fill up for Nordicfest anyway, but this year with all the firefighters in town there's nothing available. Anyone that is hauling horses or has a camper, tent or motor home can camp on the show grounds. There are no full hook ups but we do have hot showers now. They've added privacy curtains, hooks and mirrors this year. Its $5.00 per night to camp. I'm going to include 2 phone #'s that you can call for road conditions, the first is for the State of Montana Road Conditions, 800-226-7623, and the 2nd is for the Kootenai National Forest in Libby, they may have information on local road closures, 406-293-6211. At this time there are no road closures, that I know of. Road closures are going to change on an hourly basis. Most of the big fires are no where near Libby. A few years back we had fires burning right out side of Libby and it didn't have any effect on Nordicfest or the Horse show. As Patty Petersen said the other day, they do get smoke in town and then in the afternoon the breeze clears it out. For those of you coming to Libby, on Friday night Sunwood fjords will be hosting a pot luck, we'll have BBQ beef sandwiches. Stop by and visit us. Bring a dish of some kind. We'll also be doing something on Sunday morning like we did last year. All of you coming, have a safe trip and we'll see you in Libby, if you have any questions please contact me and I'll try and get an answer for you. Sherrie
