Crowd control during the NW Montana Fair parade

After years of lax crowd control at the Independence Day and NW Montana Fair parades, the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, possibly prodded by its insurance company, made an effort, largely successful, to keep the fair parade’s crowds from spilling too deeply into Main Street. Crowd controllers such as the two below zipped up and down the sidelines in nondescript golf carts shooing strays back on the sidewalk. I’ll post more crowd control images later this week.

One youngster chased after candy so fast that his footwear couldn't keep up.

A crowd controller issues clear instructions.
