About the host
Hosted by Jennelle Cassidy
We are Montanan's! Our family homesteaded in this landscape and has been an intricate part of the Flathead Valley and Glacier Park since the beginning of Montana's History. Scott is French Canadian, and his family is part of the Sam Steele Historic Village in Canada. Jennelle's family forged the road to this magnificent land on a covered wagon from Sweden. Our family history is bold and exciting, and this is how we live our lives. We too love adventure and travel is our favorite past time.
Jennelle own's a specialty bakery and MIMI to grandson Theo. Scott is in the iron business in Dallas. Our oldest is Lexi, she married to Tristian and resides in Aubrey Texas. Dausson is married to Emily and resides in Dennison Texas. Our youngest is Houston who lives in Montana. We travel back and forth from MT to TX, but we will forever have our hearts where our home is, The Big Sky~
