Question of the Week

PATRICK ANDERSON, Thompson Falls - “Yes, it does because you can’t see the beautiful mountains and stuff.”

JOHN KAUFMANN, Thompson Falls - “It’s not having a whole lot of effect on the people coming into the area. In the past I have seen fire danger run people off, but now they are trying to get away from the insanity in the cities.”

CALEB BERD, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - “I think it absolutely affects tourism because it is a quality of life kind of thing.”

CHRIS HAYNES, Thompson Falls - “Yes, I hope so. It will show people coming in what can happen here. Reality.”

ABNER ABEL, Eugene, Oregon - “I do not, because people who are going out on vacation, they are going to go no matter what.”

LINDSEY KENNEDY, Thompson Falls - “I think people who come to Montana from far away end up coming in ignorant, or unprepared for the smoke. People who are familiar with the area know to expect it as part of Montana summers.”
