"Give It To 'Em, FLORABELLE!" is a Missoula, Montana–based honky-tonk soul-funk supergroup known for electrifying, high-energy performances. Bandleader and songwriter Cara Schulz captivates audiences with booming vocals and unapologetically theatrical showmanship. Raised on jazz standards, Schulz developed her voice early before evolving into a songwriter whose work blends jazz roots, country grit, and a deep love for the mountain West.

Join us in dancing to the lovely voice and sounds of Florabelle at Rhythm and Roam in downtown Hamilton June 27th!

Congratulations to the Hamilton High School Class of 2026! 🎓

Today is the day! Graduation begins at 2 PM, and we are so excited to celebrate this incredible milestone with our Hamilton seniors.

Throughout the month of May, the Hamilton Downtown Association & Foundation have had the privilege of celebrating the graduating class by flying senior portrait banners throughout downtown Hamilton.

Each downtown pole features four individualized senior banners zip-tied together, allowing us to proudly display the Class of 2026 across Main Street while also making sure each senior gets to keep their own banner when they come down at the end of the month.

A heartfelt thank you to for facilitating this beautiful initiative for our seniors. It is truly an honor to celebrate these students, their accomplishments, and this exciting milestone here in our downtown.

Congratulations, Class of 2026 — your community is proud of you! ❤️🤍
