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 near Kalispell. Children got to help drive about 20 pieces of heavy equipment. “There are a lot of excited kids,” LHC owner Jeff Claridge said. “They love it. They just love it. And the adults love it too.” (Aaric Bryan/Daily Inter Lake)
