It’s THAT time of year again…Montana Fair season! Fair time signifies the last big local event before school starts in our area, so, grab your friends and family and head down to MetraPark for loads fun. Check out the vendor exhibits, eat some delicious fair food, and even take in a concert or two. What do you love the most about the fair? We love to visit the vendor booths, check out the animals, and, of course, eat a funnel cake. Yum!

If the fair isn’t for you, but don’t worry, because there are plenty of fun things to do in and around Billings this weekend – both indoor and out. Raise some money for a local non-profit by joining one of the three golf tournaments in our area this weekend.
