Two new events Friday

Two new Frontier Days events could provide a huge boost to Friday attendance.

The Montana Shakespeare in the Parks performance of Love's Labour's Lost is scheduled for Friday, July 28 at 6 p.m. in Legion Park.

After traditionally hosting the play near Labor Day, Whitehall Chamber members decided to change things up and tie in the event to Frontier Days.

"I think that the park will provide more visibility to Shakespeare in the Park so we will get the people noticing the play and stopping to watch," said Chamber Treasurer Jill Dove.

Now in their 46th year, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks provides free, professional productions to mostly rural communities.

Prior to the performance, Liberty Place Inc. will be hosting a barbecue at the park.

Dove said this will also help bring in more people Friday.

"It would be amazing if we doubled attendance this year," she said.
