If you are looking for an indoor activity how about cheering on your local school's robotics team? On Saturday, 38 teams from Western Montana are competing in the First Lego League Robotics Tournament at Hellgate Elementary School in Missoula. This is a worldwide organization that has elementary-middle school students build robots out of Legos, program that robot to complete missions, and complete a research project. The competition is open to the public at 12:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Room.
Attention history buffs! There will be a Bonner history roundtable on Sunday at the Bonner Kettlehouse Taproom from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Historical Museum at Fort Missoula education members will team up to relate stories of the Bonner collection housed at the museum.
