Lost & found string instruments in Great Falls

Found guitars near downtown Great Falls.

At about 6:45 p.m. last Friday, I found two acoustic guitars leaning against the brick wall outside the Paris Gibson Square Arts Center on 1st Avenue South in downtown Great Falls. A light drizzle had started, and the streetlamps cast long shadows as a handful of people moved past. I waited a moment to see if someone would return for them, but no one did. One guitar has a sunburst finish and the other a plain black body, both with worn straps that tell stories of gigs and late-night practice. I brought them to safety, hoping the owner would see this post on the site.
