MontanaFair

There's some exciting news for outdoor rodeo in Billings, Montana...but first- a little background.

The Oklahoma State Fair has a new policy this year, after a 2023 incident that was very similar to what happened in Billings.

The first big name has been announced for the 2024 MontanaFair in Billings!

Country, Rock and Hip Hop stars will hit the stage at MontanaFair this year. It's impossible to please everyone, but this years lineup offers something for - just about - everyone.

A man I've known only for the past 4 years here in Billings, however he welcomed me with open arms. Well deserved!

You entered. YOU voted hundreds of times. Now... who won?!

Law enforcement will be ramping up their presence at MontanaFair this year, largely in response to a shooting that injured one at the midway last year. BPD will be joining the YCSO in patrolling the grounds.

I kind of hate to see this week come to an end even with how busy we have been. With all the interviews and things happening we are going to need a three-day weekend to recover.

So yesterday I did an article on the shooting at the fair. In that article, I mentioned we had a call with a lady that asked me why things are getting out of hand. So I gave my opinion on where and when I think it started and now how police are challenged every day...

So we are still trying to figure out all the details about what happened last night at the fair. Apparently, there was a shooting between some youth that sent a person to the hospital. Right away a couple of questions come to mind. Number one, they have metal detectors that they use every time there is a concert...

I'm sad to say that I don't think that our little piece of America is quite as safe as it used to be.

A shooting at MontanaFair last night (08/16) has left a young man wounded and left the public with no information about who the suspect is, or whether the Fair will be open today or not.
