In less than two months, Libby Dam will celebrate its 50th anniversary and local residents are feverishly preparing for the festivities.
The official commemoration will occur from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the visitor center.
The top of the dam will be open for folks to walk across, just the second time it has been open for civilians since its closure following Sept. 11, 2001, due to security reasons.
