1. Missoula police serve search warrant at Mount Avenue home (nbcmontana.com) — Missoula police executed a search warrant early Wednesday at a home in the 1800 block of Mount Avenue after multiple community reports of possible drug and other criminal activity involving juveniles. Several adults were interviewed, and investigators say the case remains active while encouraging residents with additional information to contact the Missoula Police Department.
2. Montana Is Getting Some Very Special Concerts (missoulacurrent.com) — Free U.S. Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants concerts are coming to Missoula on October 20 at the Dennison Theatre and October 22 at Big Sky High School, but you'll need advance tickets even though admission is free. Expect a mix of American music and patriotic tributes, making for an easy, low-cost night out as indoor concert season ramps up.
3. KPAX Missoula Area Weather: More sunshine and more warmth coming on Sunday (kpax.com) — Missoula is in for a sunnier, warmer Sunday, with highs running 5 to 15 degrees above normal and a clear, quiet night beforehand. Warm, mostly dry weather should hold through much of next week, with only minor cooling and breezy periods before a possible cooler, wetter pattern next weekend.
4. Man from India pleads guilty to defrauding Kaneohe kupuna (staradvertiser.com) — A nationwide gold-bar fraud scheme targeting seniors reached Missoula, where an alleged co‑conspirator was arrested and is accused of convincing a local woman to liquidate assets and buy over $200,000 in gold. The case is tied to a similar scam in Hawaii, highlighting how sophisticated phone and online cons are increasingly preying on older residents.

Friday 10-2-26 Bitterroot National Forest, Hiking & Having Fun (blogspot.com) — A traveling couple passed through Missoula via I‑90, stopping at a local Walmart to restock before heading to Bitterroot National Forest's Charles Waters Campground.
