Good morning, Bozeman.

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport experienced busy post-holiday travel on Friday as a widespread snowstorm caused minimal delays and one diversion.

Officials reported a 6% rise in traffic while meteorologists predicted the snow would clear by early Saturday morning — advising travelers to drive cautiously on icy roads.

Residents in Three Forks are hosting a third annual toy donation drive to spread holiday cheer, with donations accepted at First Security Bank + City Hall and later taken to Headwaters Food Bank until December 1.

Similar efforts are underway in Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky and Livingston to help ensure every child enjoys a happy Christmas.

Showdown Montana will begin its discount program on December 5—visitors who donate 20 canned food items at food banks in Great Falls, Helena, Billings, Bozeman, and White Sulphur Springs will receive a voucher for a $20 lift ticket valid on any operational day in December.

The program allows a maximum of 10 vouchers per person while supplies last and supports local families during the cold season.

Small businesses in Bozeman benefited from Black Friday sales as shoppers sought deals that boosted local spending ahead of Small Business Saturday; Alara Jewelry opened its online storefront a day early and reported a 5—10 percent revenue increase while a near 1.5 percent retail vacancy rate underscored strong market conditions.
