From volunteering to enjoying family time, Kelly Morgan takes full advantage of the great things going on in Helena.

Helena Market Days

Prioritizing shopping locally

When the weather starts to warm up, I get excited knowing Helena Market Days are approaching. You’ll find me at the market most Saturday mornings in the summer. The vendors are truly the best—offering fresh produce, unique handmade crafts and delicious baked goods! It’s a wonderful way to start the weekend and support our local community.

Soccer

Proudly representing the community on the field

In the fall and spring, our family spends a lot of time at the soccer field. Our son has been lucky to have the same coach for several years—in my opinion, one of the best coaches in the area. Through soccer, we’ve built amazing friendships with other families that go beyond the field. It’s become such a meaningful part of our Helena experience.

Volunteers

The fulfillment of giving back

As a Helena Market Days volunteer, I’ve seen firsthand the time and effort it takes to organize community events—and that’s why I deeply admire all those who give their time to make Helena such a special place. Whether it’s helping with events like the Market Days, the Beautification Board, Helena Old Town, the Buck Creek Festival or volunteering in our schools or for Parks and Rec, these individuals are what make our city so special.

Christmas in Helena

Celebrating the most wonderful time of the year

The holiday season in Helena is special, from the Holiday Markets to the Christmas Tree Lighting. Over the years, we’ve created memories and traditions, like meeting friends at our spot along the parade route to watch the band, cheer for the dancers, see the horses trot through and, of course, wave to Santa Claus. Though we don’t have family nearby, our wonderful neighbors and friends have become like family—we now spend Christmas Eve together, and it’s one of my favorite traditions.

The Hillsboro Trail

Quality time outdoors

We love that the Hillsboro Trail connects neighborhoods and provides easy access to Lee Springs Park. We walk, bike or scooter along the trail—it’s a way to unplug and enjoy quality time together. We often run into friends along the way and take a few minutes to catch up before continuing our journey. It’s a peaceful, beautiful part of our community that we’re so grateful to have.
