Saco

Friday, May 1, 2009

Except for the river to the south, Saco is a bit dry. I remember stopping there once after dark, and there was one of those bug zappers at work with its bright blue light. Every few seconds it would zap something. Looking at the spot on the sidewalk below it, there was a pile several inches deep of insect remains.

And they have a nice website:

Welcome to Saco Montana. Saco is located in Northeast Montana on U.S. Highway 2. The town has a population of 224, plus the surrounding agricultural community which helps support the business growth of the town. Saco has a nationally recognized public school system, several businesses including a grocery store and meat market famous for its jerky, hams, bacon and sausage, a hardware store, several churches and is within a half hour of a medical facility.

So no place is too small for a website. And it is good that there is medical care within half an hour.

Maybe we can all make it out there for their Labor Day event? Sound like fun.
