Episode #3 of "Backroads of Montana" hosted by Montana TV & Radio personality, William Marcus.
Episode Three “Polaris to Joliet” (1992) – The Polar Bar in Polaris was one of those places that we discovered on our way to someplace else. We returned to do that story just in time. Walt Melcher, the gritty cowboy who entertained his guests with the songs of his youth sold the bar’s liquor license and closed up shop soon after our visit. Walt died in June of 1997. He was 91. The Ippisch Schoolhouse Bed & Breakfast closed and Les Ippisch died in the summer of 2005. The Bed & Breakfast has reopened under new management. They plan to reinstate the Christmas sale in 2006.
