The ANTecdote
Off to Bozeman!
Nellie’s pacing at the front door of our historic storefront building in White Sulphur Springs (and today the sun in our hometown is glorious!) and the Anthill’s hitched up. We’re hitting the road to launch the spring 2010 edition of Tour de Pants. Our first quick stop is to Bozeman to connect with friends over Thai food and then we’re off to Victor, ID for our first house party of this week-long northern Rockies tour. Tour de Pants hits the road! We’ve been busy all morning packing up pants and all our other wonderful goodies, including bamboo t-shirts, our stellar red hoodies, and our new kickbutt workbelts! Bags and bags of our workpants are loaded into the back of the pickup truck, just waiting for a new home somewhere across the west. Our pants are longing to connect with a hardworking gal like you, so perhaps you’ll be the next proud wearer of our workpants. They like to work, have fun and even make you look beautiful while you plant that garden, buck that bale, build your chicken coop, or hike through the mountains, taking in the newly emerging spring. Won’t you give Red Ants Pants a good home? We’re leaving our shopcat, Magpie, to her own devices this week as we cruise the mountains through Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. No, we wouldn’t actually leave Magpie on her own! She’ll be well taken care of and so will the Red Ants Pants shop during our travels. We’ve got lots of fun things planned this week, including brewery parties and helping build a woman’s Earthship home. Always good fun and good times on the road with Red Ants Pants! Loading up all 70 pants! And all of our other RAP gear. On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again! Come back often to check our dispatches from the road…

RAP Featured in 406 Woman Magazine
We were quite honored this winter when 406 Woman Magazine, based out of Whitefish, Montana asked us if they could feature Red Ants Pants in their Outdoor Woman section. We of course said yes and were even more excited upon learning that our dear friend, Sammi Johnson, who was born and raised in White Sulphur Springs, is the writer for the piece! The article appears in the April/May edition-you can find the free magazine across Northwest Montana. It’s a great story detailing the Red Ants Pants story and highlighting Tour de Pants–which we’re busily preparing for our spring tour this week. You can read the feature in the online edition of 406 by clicking here. And in case you’re not from Montana, 406 is the area code for the entire state!

RAP supports "The Bob"
The beautiful Bob We like wilderness. A lot. And we really like organizations that support wilderness. So, we’re good friends with the folks at the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation (BMWF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the trail system and wilderness values in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, commonly referred to as “The Bob”. list of domains And the BMWF is bringing Telluride MountainFilm On Tour, an independent documentary film festival to cities across Montana next week. We wanted to get involved and we’re donating our wonderful long sleeve yellow t’s featuring the bucking ant for their door prizes. So, if you live in Whitefish, Great Falls, Bozeman or Helena you should get your tickets for this incredible event! Not only do you get an opportunity to view some incredible films, but you’re also supporting wilderness! And if you’re really lucky, you just may end your fabulous evening by scoring a RAP t-shirt. We also heard that there’s a lot of other wonderful door prizes and raffle items from other Montana businesses. Sounds like good fun to us! Here are the dates for the film fest: Whitefish 4/15, Great Falls 4/16, Bozeman 4/17, and Helena 4/18. Go check out the BMWF’s website to learn more! Hard Workin' Pants in the Bob We’re really proud of the efforts of the BMWF and we’re honored that some of the trail crew leaders work pants of choice are Red Ants Pants! These gals are tough and their pants are tough enough to handle season after season of trail crew work–we’re talking cross cut saws and pulaskis, folks. Both Sarah and Maggie will be at the Bozeman show-we hope to see you there!
