Gravelpalooza

Two-year-old Maverick Bench grabs the steering wheel of a paver during the Community Action Partnership of Northwest Montana's Gravelpalooza at the LHC gravel pit in Kalispell. Children got to help drive about 20 pieces of heavy equipment during the fundraiser. "There are a lot of excited kids," said LHC owner Jeff Claridge. "They love it. They just love it. And the adults love it too." (Aaric Bryan/Daily Inter Lake)
