Bison and Beargrass
John and Elisha Mack are launching a new business at 413 Central Ave. on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 25.
Bison and Beargrass will feature “lovely Montana gifts and goods,” such as journals with a vintage Great Falls map, mugs, candles, shackets, earrings, art and more, John Mack said.
He said that they took their family from California on a trip around Montana over the summer and got excited with wanting to celebrate Montana.
They’ve been paying rent on their downtown photo studio and started developing wall art, but then the idea quickly spun into something more, he said.
They’re repurposing a portion of their photo studio for the boutique that will be geared toward women, but also have items for men, he said.
Tres65
Tres65 has new owners, Alli, Chase and Holland Marmon.
“This wonderful local family plans to keep vision of Tres65, add more classes, create mommy meet ups, and beautify the boutique! Alli is a mom and previous elementary school teacher-we know you will love her as much as we do,” the founders wrote in a post.
The new owners officially take over Dec. 1.

Library event
Elder Justice Prosecutor for the Assistant Attorney General Michael Fanning will give a free presentation o2-3:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 in the Cordingley Room in the basement of the Great Falls Public Library.
Fanning will discuss scams that target elders and how to avoid them. He also will discuss what elder abuse is, and how to contact Adult Protective Services or local law enforcement when there is an emergency. Everyone is welcome to attend, especially those with elders in their family or who are living alone.
According to the National Council on Aging, up to five million older Americans are abused every year, and the annual loss by victims of financial abuse is estimated to be at least $36.5 billion, according to the library.
Elder abuse includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. Perpetrators include children, other family members, and spouses-as well as staff at nursing homes, assisted living, and other facilities. About one in 10 Americans aged 60 and older have experienced some form of elder abuse.
