Wednesday was opening day of the Great Northern Fair, and many had reasons to be excited. By noon, some vendors were still putting the finishing touches on their stands and tents, some fair-goers were already gnashing into pronto pups and french fries and, over in the Bigger Better Barn, the 4-H Horse Show was well underway. But as the day wore on, the crowds got bigger, younger and more excited. The two inflatable bouncy houses in the western corner of the grounds were...

“Like the first morning.” Scrub oaks, verdant from recent rains, reached out branches and clutched passing clouds onto high mountaintops, puffy sombreros heavy with moisture. Mountains held onto the clouds tightly until near noon when clouds, with a mind of their own, lifted off and away. Clouds will return, dark with a new load of water in the late afternoon, tonight’s fresh downpour. Since the season began, about six weeks ago, we’ve averaged half an inch each night....

From Fish, Wildlife and Parks Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials want to remind families who are enjoying Montana’s waterways to keep safety in mind. Montana’s many rivers, lakes and reservoirs offer great opportunities to enjoy some summer fun. When people are having fun in the water, safety isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind. But whenever people recreate near water, extra precautions are necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that drowning is the fifth leading cause of unint...
BRUCE AUCHLY FWP Region 4 Information Officer Snake season is here. Not a hunting season, but a season to admire Montana’s snakes for what they are: a vital cog in the natural world that serves an important purpose even if some of us suffer the heebie-jeebies at the mere thought of a snake. Last week while out for a morning jog, I passed a gopher snake — our subspecies is the bull snake — lying motionless and camouflaged on a bed of gravel next to the trail. No telling how many people walked or ran by the reptile witho...
The Great Northern Fair has many great things about it, but one of the great pastimes has always been the Havre Junior Rodeo, as young cowboys and cowgirls from across the Hi-Line take to the arena at the Great Northern Fairgrounds to show what they can do. And Wednesday night, when it was all said and done, over 300 participants competed well into the night in three different age groups, in a number of different events to jumpstart a three-day stretch of rodeo events. One the...
While many associate the Great Northern Fair with great food and fun rides, it's also a great week for sports and none of the events are better than the Great Northern Open Rodeo. For years, the rodeo, has been the headlining event at the Great Northern Fair, and it will be one of the big draws again this year, with some differences. In the past, the Great Northern Ram Rodeo, was a two-day event. Now, it has been shrunk down to one night and one day of slack. However, even...
