If you read the headline and thought, "What? There's a Bitterroot College?" This might be the open house for you. I know. I know. It's not a brand new school. But it is a brand new location, so check it out if you can.

Bitterroot College of the University of Montana will host a holiday open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, in its new location at 103 S. Ninth St. in Hamilton. The Montana A Capella Society will perform from 5:30 to 6 p.m.

All members of the Bitterroot Valley community are invited to attend and explore the college. The Bitterroot Fabrication Laboratory, or “Fab Lab,” located at 404 S. First St. and operated through the Bitterroot College Advanced Manufacturing program, also will be open during the holiday open house hours.

Attendees are encouraged to visit both locations to see the educational opportunities available to Bitterroot Valley residents.

Participants will have the chance to explore both buildings and meet students, faculty and staff members. Student and faculty presentations and research projects will be displayed in the classrooms, as well as in the art and science labs.

Refreshments will be provided by members of the Bitterroot College Advisory Council and by the Bitterroot Valley Chamber of Commerce.
