“Nowhere other than Bishop did I walk into a restaurant or business and have members of the community stop me to shake my hand, tell me that our association is filled with respectful and kind kids, and that they are so glad to see me back in their town. Nowhere other than Bishop have we ever been able to fish, float the river, and rodeo all in the same day. Nowhere other than Bishop have kids been able to ride their bikes from the arena, to the coffee shop, and then downtown to grab some gelato at Schat’s. Nowhere other than Bishop have we been welcomed into the community time after time, to call it our home.” Cailee, Bozeman, MT
