In Bozeman Montana (a well-known college-focused city) voters didnt let the snow-covered pathways stop them from casting their ballots at the local court-house. The after-hours voting line turned into something quite different than expected — a full-on street gathering.

- Fresh-baked pizza slices
- Crunchy potato chips
- Mixed nuts and treats
The courthouse-area turned into an unexpected party spot — a street DJ started playing tunes while people waved bright glow-sticks around. Sarah Thompson‚ a local student said: “Its just like any other college get-together except were doing something important for our community“
The whole scene showed how this university town knows how to keep things fun even when dealing with serious stuff — the mix of civic duty and student-life spirit made the cold wait much easier to handle
