SQCC will be going out to dig bitterroot-Wednesday, April 30th. The group will leave the Longhouse at 9:00am. Feast to follow at the Longhouse in St. Ignatius.

This year, we are returning to the site in Camas Prairie where we have gone many times in the past. However, we are taking a different route to get there. We will have it marked with pink signs and pink flagging tape.

‼️Please do not take the old route via Big Gulch Road‼️

Here are directions:
From the Camas Prairie gym, go 1.65 miles north on the highway. Opposite the Camas Creek Road to "Rainbow Lake" (Dog Lake), turn east through the gate, which we will have open and marked with a pink sign and flagging tape. Follow the two-track road by some corrals and then northeast about 0.7 miles to the gate that leads into the digging area.

If you have any questions, call 406-745-4572.

Former Arlee basketball standout, Benny Old Person-Harlow, attends Bridgton Academy which is a college-prep postgraduate program in Maine. Dylan Thayer’s April 21 post on X highlighted Benny’s skills and recent performance.

According to the New England Recruiting Report’s website, “Benny Old Person-Harlow, a 6’4” wing, has drawn scholarship interest for his sharp shooting and rebounding ability.” He is projected as a D1-D2 prospect with a preference for schools in the northwest.
