The Great Potato Giveaway ROUND II is this Saturday 5/16 at Metrapark. We're bringing another 60,000+ pounds of Foth Farms potatoes to Billings.

The Great Potato Giveaway is today! Sat, 5/9 beginning at 10 AM sharp at Metrapark Upper Parking Lot. Here are some reminders and guidelines on how to get your free spuds.

The "pork puzzle breakdown," the "power and versatility of potatoes"- what are the latest tips and trends in the Montana restaurant business? The big Food Show put on by Food Services of America is coming back to Billings on Wednesday, May 15th at the MetraPark Expo Center.

It's been a long week. I'm tired, but Carrie Underwood's show was on a Thursday night and our 8 year old wanted to go so we bought tickets and went. Great show. She can really sing. The show wraps up at 10:30 and we head to our vehicle...

One of the longest running musical tours in the industry makes its way to Billings tomorrow. Mannheim Steamroller performs at the Rimrock Auto Arena at  8:00 p.m. When I hear those familiar synths and drums in November (or God forbid, October), it's usually one of my first "Christmas moments" of the year...

Nitro Circus is heading back to the U.S. in 2016 and we're thrilled that one of the stops is right here in Billings at the Rimrock Auto Arena. Even if you're not typically part of the motocross crowd, this show will deliver some heart racing, nail biting moments worth every penny of your entertainment dollars...

October 24th at MetraPark it's the return of Backflips and Beatdowns. MMA Fighters battle it out in the cage while insane motorcycle stunts are happening right over their heads. That sounds like something a couple of guys would dream up around a sports bar table in a conversation that starts with "You know what would be bad ass...

These days you hear a lot about runs and walks to benefit a number of causes. It makes sense given so many Americans need some motivation to get out and move. When I heard about Color Me Rad coming to the Metra on the 19th, I started looking around to see what exactly the benefit was...

Back in July, Visit Billings brought the BMW International Rally to MetraPark. This event drew a huge crowd. The official count was 5,872 in attendance. These visitors poured in from all 50 states along with nine Canadian provinces and nine foreign countries...

If you're planning on heading into the Heights this weekend, perhaps for the Health and Fitness Expo at MetraPark, keep in mind that Fourth Avenue does have a couple of lanes closed. It doesn't start until around 23rd Street, so it isn't terrible, but Zimmerman Trail may be more appealing for some...

The Metra is a great facility, so don't take this as a complaint so much as a note in the suggestion box. I took the kid out to MontanaFair on Saturday night and had to park in the upper lot above the arena. I didn't mind the walk considering I've been to lots of fairs with much less to offer where you drop 10 bucks to park in a field somewhere...
