How about one more fish fry before the year ends? Let's take advantage of the weather while it's still nice and raise some money for the MDA!
The MDA has invested over 1.1 BILLION DOLLARS into muscular dystrophy research since 1950, and we're proud to say we've been contributing to this cause for over 10 years!

Join us at 5pm, 09/11/26 for french fries, fish, cole slaw, and a good time!

Alright… This one we’ve been dreading for the whole school year🥺🥺
Something so very special about Mike is that he originally joined our crew when he was a wee babe at 19 years old and we got to celebrate his 20th with him. Then summer break came and Mike had an internship and we parted ways. Then school came again, and we literally begged him to come back to us and he brought with him .gilby 🥹 the rest truly is one of the most fun chapters of Thumbs history.

Congratulations on your graduation, brother. Montana is going to be a better place with you in it. We’re all going to miss you, but you always have a home here❤️🖤
