By Eric Newhouse Tribune Projects Editor Happy hour at the Montana Bar is a happy time, indeed.
Prices are lower, and drinkers pack the place.
Lights are dim. Television tugs at the attention, and friends belly up to the bar to trash the championship chances of opposing football teams. Diane Jovick-Kuntz, owner of the Montana Bar, notes that alcohol revenue helps pay for local police and fire protection, as well as other public services. As their money slides across the bar, bar owner Diane Jovick-Kuntz is happy, too. Without us, you might not have a police or a fire department.
