Shawn Smalley, in black, sat on the "blue" side of the bleachers in the Superior High School Gym on Saturday during the first annual Guns vs. Hoses basketball game. Fitting as a former Montana Highway Patrolman who gave 20 years of service to the state, followed by his current role as a county commissioner. He and his family were overwhelmed by the community's generous support during the benefit game and live auctions held to provide financial assistance as Shawn undergoes treatment for stage 4 colon cancer. Over $40,000 were raised for the Smalley family on April 4, with incredible donations such as guided hunts, firearms, fly fishing trips, a BBQ, and much more. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)

PHOTOS: St. Regis flea market

The four-way stop is backed up to I-90, the smell of concession stand burgers and sweet kettle corn hangs in the air, a little blue shuttle carries passengers and their treasures back to their vehicles. It's Memorial Day weekend in St. Regis, Montana - it's Flea Market time! The 49th annual swap meet at the St. Regis Park hosted over 200 vendors, while the normally sleepy little town bustled with traffic and hundreds of flea market goers.
