For the fifth year, more than 70 Yaak residents and guests gathered at the steps of the Yaak Community Hall to celebrate America’s birthday by reading the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2024.
This year had special meaning as it was the kickoff for a fund-raising drive to refurbish the 99-year-old Yaak Community Hall.
Sen. Mike Cuffe (Montana Senate District 1), Judge Matt Cuffe (Montana 19th Judicial District Court) and Judge Dan Wilson (Montana 11th Judicial District Court and candidate for Montana Supreme Court Seat No. 3) and Jim Hammons (Lincoln County Commissioner) were on hand to help celebrate and participate in the reading.
