  • Ulm News: Festive Celebrations Mark the Holiday Season

    Sandy Harshaw|Dec 19, 2024

    Merry Christmas! The Ulm community is very festive, with quite a few houses beautifully decorated. The party season has begun, and I, for one, am partied out. I love this holiday, but this year snuck up on me, and I had lots of parties all in one week. The Ulm Pinochle Club had a great time last Monday at Carol's house. She always decorates so nicely and had quite a spread of sweets. Loretta even made sourdough pecan rolls on top of it. We played cards, visited, laughed, and then ate a...

    Sandy Harshaw, Ulm Community Contributer|Nov 28, 2024

    The Ulm Pinochle Club met at Erin's house this month, with Erin and Valerie hosting. Thanks to an abundance of subs, we had the chance to mix things up and play with different people, which made for an exciting change. Thank goodness for our trusty list of substitutes! Nancy came out on top with an impressive high score of 4,060, while Loretta took the last-place spot. No matter the results, we always enjoy plenty of fun and laughter. We're eagerly looking forward to our December games, which wi...

  • Ulm News: 4-H Club Elects New Officers and Prepares for Exciting Year

    Sandy Harshaw|Oct 10, 2024

    Hope you all are recovering from the crazy windstorm. I feel very lucky, as we did not lose power, nor did we lose any more big trees like the last time. We definitely need to pray for Florida and the surrounding states that were affected by the last hurricanes. It's just devastating to see the damage, and I'll take the wind over that any day. I'm thankful every day that I live in Montana. I am also thankful for the great 4-H Club we have in Ulm. We had our October meeting and elected new...

    Hello April! It seems to me like it came in fast with Easter being the day before. The Ulm Community turned out in full force for the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. We estimate that around 300 kids participated with all their cute outfits and baskets,buckets and bags for a quick retrieval of over 4000 eggs. They brought parents, Grandparents, family and friends. The place was packed and it was great to meet new people and see our old friends as well. We were blessed to be able to give away 4...

    Good day fellow Ulmites. How is everyone surviving? We survived the negative 40 real temps, we survived all the sickness that was going around (and still is) we survived the crazy weather that stranded some in Lincoln and Missoula. Now we are loving this warmer weather, but we still have people struggling with winter animal babies. They come in the worst weather so this is a nice reprieve for a while. I hope everyone is well and getting out in the sunshine when we have it to soak in all the...

  • Thank You from Ulm Church

    Sandy Harshaw, Ulm Contributor|Nov 23, 2023

    The Ulm Church wanted to thank everyone who donated shoe boxes or supplies to Operation Christmas Child. We ended up with 57 boxes. The Truth Trackers youth group helped put together 30 some of them and they had a blast while doing it. They give up their game time to do this project. We are always sure to put in the essentials of school supplies and hygiene items. They then can go crazy with the other items like toys, water bottles, socks, sunglasses, tools, sewing kits, more toys, etc. They...

    The Ulm Pinochle Club met at Erin Faulkners house last Monday where she and Valerie Fowler hosted. We had so much fun as always and even had a couple of double pinochles to announce. Val and Severin each had one and believe me there's a lot of hooping and hollering when it happens. I ended up having high score for the night and Loretta ended up with low score by only 10 points. It's always a great time to snack and visit and have a fun night out for us ladies. Next month we will be doing a...

    A grand time was had by all. Once again the Ulm Volunteer Fire Department team out did themselves on the pancake supper. It was a steady stream of hungry patrons from 2-8. At times the line was out the door. Everyone had such a great time visiting and catching up with one another. Sometimes we only see our neighbors once a year at this social event. There were lots of deserts to bid on and some household items also, to help raise money for our crew. Its great to see the community and...

    I hope everyone's summer is going spectacular! We have had some mighty fine weather. The hay crops are outstanding and hopefully the rest of the crops are just as good. Well, my life revolves around 4-H and it seems we don't really get summer till the fair is over. I'm sure a lot of you still remember those days or are living those days. Don't forget to come get your ice cream at the fair. Our club is working 29,30th and 31st. So this is the place that I post all of the results from the Cascade...

    It was a great day to be in Ulm Mt! The Easter egg hunt was spectacular with more than 300 participants. There were a ton of hard working 4-Hr's that made it all come together, which in turn made some very happy children. The Easter bunny was posing for pics, parents were videoing and taking pictures for memorable moments. Neighbors were visiting and the fire trucks were all shined up and ready for kids to dream of being firefighters. It was a beautiful day and the wind didn't pick up terribly...
