Odd Jobs: Mermaids in Montana

GREAT FALLS — Some jobs make a bigger splash than others. In Great Falls, Montana, there’s a place where the magic of the sea meets the rugged landscapes of the West—the world-famous Sip ‘N Dip Lounge at the O'Haire Motor Inn.

On this episode of Odd Jobs, I dive into the unique profession of a Montana mermaid, meeting Jipsea the Mermaid, who has been captivating audiences from behind the glass for over two years.

“I moved to Great Falls a few years ago, and the job was open,” Jipsea recalls. “I was like, cool. I’ll be a mermaid. Sure.”

The Sip ‘N Dip is legendary for its underwater performers, who swim in a glass-walled pool behind the bar, bringing fantasy to life for patrons sipping on tropical cocktails.

little on the chunky side ... But, hey ... Inclusion, right? And I'm sure mermaids have to be a little older .... Sometime?
