Havreites have joined a host of towns across the nation and Montana, howling for the people battling COVID-19.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, health care workers, emergency services and other essential workers have faced unprecedented challenges, both personally and professionally. Montanans have banded together to show their appreciation for those workers throughout the stay-at-home order.
KNMC 90.1, Montana State University-Northern's radio station, and Havre Area Events formed "Howl for Havre!" Tuesday in an event listed on Facebook.
At 8 p.m. sharp every night, citizens are encouraged to step outside their homes or lean out their windows and give a howl to show solidarity for the people fighting COVID-19.
KNMC Station ManagerDave Martens said he started the event because "I thought it'd be something we could all rally behind."
KNMC likes " to support community events and the community any way we can," he said.
Connecting through community has been one of Havre's strongest aspects even through adversity, Martens said.
