CAT-GRIZ DRIVE — The Pondera Medical Center did a Bobcat-Griz food drive. The Cats had 193 pounds of food and the Griz, in romping over Bozeman in the annual football clash, also got away from the Cats, collecting 388 pounds for a total of 561 pounds of food for the local Food Pantry.

For official purposes, the city council approved names to the Industrial Park and two streets on Monday evening.
The Park had four suggested names, Rest Stop Industrial Site, Whoop-Up Park, Bootlegger Park and Conrad East Industrial Park.
On a 4-0 vote the council approved the official name to be Conrad East Industrial park.
That was easy. Not so easy was naming a street running north and south at the Park. The county road, running east and west is named Legacy Road.
There were also four choices to choose from; Rhode Island, New York, Vermont or Wyoming.

The Conrad Area Chamber of Commerce has introduced a full week long schedule of events to the annual Christmas Stroll. The week promises to hold something for everyone whether it is delicious food, gifts for the whole family or just an excuse to get out of the house.
Deals of the week begin on Monday and a full list of businesses and their daily specials can be found on the Week of Holiday Wonders ad which was published in the Nov. 17 issue of the I-O.
There will be a “Warm Up to Winter” bonfire on Monday at 6 p.m. in the Conrad Swimming Pool parking lot. There will be hayrides and caroling. Popcorn and hot cocoa will be served by the Chamber and dinner will be available from Mike Harding. The Conrad Volunteer Fire Department is sponsoring the fire.

Mitch Hauer took the stage to present the talent during the Karaoke finals competition on Sunday. He recited a poem from Community Cancer Foundation (CCF) founder Darlene Denzer who has since passed from cancer.
Hauer holds another deep connection to the CCF as his brother, whose birthday was also Sunday, is also a cancer victim. The crowd gave a moment of silence to those who have fought cancer and lost.
The CCF benefits residents in Pondera County who are receiving treatment for cancer. Approval is not based on income.
Currently, 31 people in Pondera County are being helped. Each person can receive $300 at one time and up to $2,100 in their lifetime. The CCF’s number one request is for fuel cards to get them back and forth from treatments.
This year’s Kids’ Karaoke for Cancer was successful in raising $10,366. Sunday’s one-day total was $7,253.
