We invite you to visit down-town Billings, the heart of our city. From banking to retail to enter-tainment and nightlife, downtown bustles from sun up to sun down. Cradled by the Rimrocks, Down-town Billings is a regional draw attracting visitors and enamoring its residents with state-of-the-art dining, retail, arts and culture, education and unparalleled health care. Public amenities such as way finding signage, pedestrian kiosks with updated business directo-ries and maps and landscaping enhance the streetscapes and translate into pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and streets.

Billings ranks sixth nationally for best business climate. And it shows in new business, expand-ing business and construction in progress. In downtown you’ll find a wonderful mix of locally-owned and -operated businesses. Our merchants prepare their store fronts with you in mind and invite you into their shops to peruse their

diverse retail offerings. You’ll love the personalized customer service you receive from our downtown businesses.

Stroll the vibrant, clean and safe streetscapes that lead to our

award-winning museums, cafes, pubs and restaurants, and you’ll know that you are exploring Bill-ings at its best. Whether chatting over fine wine, sampling locally brewed beer or dancing to live mu-sic, Downtown Billings provides a delightful place to gather for visi-tors and locals alike.

There is a lot of hustle and bustle downtown. Event season is upon us and boasts events like:

The Loan-A-Bike program makes a bicycle avail-able for use, free of charge, during business hours in downtown Billings. This program encourages people to think of bicycles as efficient, practical transportation, as well as recreation or exercise equipment. Grab a bicycle, lock and helmet free of charge for midday downtown errands or simply a breath of fresh air.

All you need to do is stop by the Downtown Bill-

ings offices at 2815 Second Ave. N. with a photo ID, a credit or debit card and a few calories to burn.

It’s just another step taken by Downtown Bill-ings to celebrate the friendly, lively nature of down-town, connect to our nearby trails and increase awareness of walking and cycling as efficient, effective forms of alternate transportation. With escalating energy costs, walkability and connectivi-ty are increasingly important issues, and Downtown

Billings is committed to building an effective down-town infrastructure. Look for secure bike parking, more bike racks and bicycle specific lanes and paths that work well with existing roadways and parking facilities in Downtown Billings.

Want to expand the program or need more information? Join our Bicycle-Friendly Downtown Committee! Visit www.downtownbillings.com for more information.

Downtown Night at the Mustangs is Downtown Billings’ longest running event.

This year, join us Monday, July 29, at 7:05 p.m., as the Bill-ings Mustangs play Great Falls. Giveaways and promotions will be featured during the game do-nated by Downtown merchants and businesses.

Dehler Park has picnic areas for families and large groups, a cool merchandise shop and concessions that offer brats, burgers, soft drinks, beer and mojito coolers. You can walk the entire field thanks to an outfield terrace.

Tickets can be purchased at the Dehler Park ticket office or by going to www.billings-mustangs.com and clicking on “tickets.”

Dehler Park is renowned in the Pioneer League for the “Beer Batter.” Every game, the Mus-tangs Beer Boosters designate one player as the “Beer Batter.” If that player gets a hit, attend-ees can buy four beers for $10. Many eager buyers stand at the stairs anticipating a hit and the oncoming rush of people.

Come celebrate the season with us at Downtown Night at the Mustangs!

“Sometimes the smallest things we do make the biggest difference.”

What a great year we’ve had! In 2012 Spare Change for Real Change, an awareness and fun-draising campaign, granted more than $10,000 to area resource agencies, and the difference has already been felt in Billings. Simple needs have been met, such as sheets, shower cur-tains and cribs, and folks have been able to take the first step into their home with grant assis-tance. Homeless veterans, through Volunteers of America at Independence Hall, have found support in transition kits that make moving into their new place a little easier.

All told, since 2005, we’ve granted more than $22,500 to organizations throughout Billings that work to alleviate homelessness and poverty through education, housing, social services and re-integration.

Granting by the Spare Change for Real Change program occurs through a cooperative process between the BID Board and the May-or’s Committee on Homelessness and is used to support projects related to Billings’ 10-year plan to end homelessness.

All of this was made possible because so many people have chosen to support the wildly popular Purple 5K, a downtown bike race, and the Spare Change for Real Change meter pro-gram. So much has been accomplished through community support and through generous sponsors.

We are working toward our goal for 2013: $20,000. We invite you to get in the game!

This year, we are excited to announce the expansion of our already ambitious programs to include more meter placements, the biggest Purple 5K so far and the evolution of the Down-town Crit into the Spare Change Crit Series. A Spare Change For Real Change meter has al-

ready been placed at the West End location of NAPA Automotive, and another meter is right around the corner for the Downtown location.

The Spare Change Crit Series will be sched-uled for various times over the course of the summer to include three races total; all on dif-ferent courses, culminating in a final cham-pionship race in Downtown Billings. Expect a

friendly competitive atmosphere and some ex-citing spectating opportunities, as well as fun partnerships with local businesses and organi-zations.

Join us as we race for our health, race to make a difference, and take big steps to alleviate pov-erty and homelessness in our city. For more in-formation, visit www.4realchange.org.

Campaign raises $10,000 for area resource agencies


Runners take off at the start of the 2013 Purple 5K.

When you’re in Downtown Bill-ings, a clean and secure environment makes all the difference to living, working, shopping and visiting.

That’s why in 2005, the Down-town Billings Business Improvement

District (BID) launched the Downtown Ambassador program, funded by the newly formed BID.

Our Downtown Ambassadors, the Purple People, are dedicated to a clean, safe and inviting Downtown.

Looking for Alive After 5, our sum-mer concert series? Ask one of the Purple People for our downtown fold out map with calendar of events and directions.

Look for them. Rely on them.

They’re here to assist you as you discover all things downtown.

If you would like assistance from a Downtown Ambassador, please contact the BID office at 406-294-5060.

Billings Police bicycle officers Shane Winden and Harley Cagle patrol the downtown area.

The Downtown Billings Busi-ness Improvement District has, since 2005, facilitated Clean and Safe Programs. In June 2010, the BID expanded to include a larg-er, business district safety zone providing the expanded BID two downtown resource officers, a Crime Watch for Business Pro-gram.

Officers Shane Winden and Harley Cagle provide additional presence, visibility and assis-tance in downtown Billings over and above that which is already provided by the Billings Police Department. The downtown cen-ter beat officers, stationed at the Downtown Billings Alliance of-fice, are bike cops, too. You will see them patrolling the district and making sure downtown events are running smoothly.

Crime Watch for Business has expanded this year through the ef-forts of the downtown officers. It functions much like Neighborhood Watch programs already in place in Billings. Neighbors keep an eye on one another to help keep their, in this case, business community safe; collaboration is the key.

Downtown Billings is very proud of its downtown cops!

Officers Winden and Cagle can be reached at 406-690-4227.

Fathers have a special invitation to make the Heart and Sole Run part of their Father’s Day weekend celebration.

“Men are not quite as active as women are these days in terms of focus on their general fitness,” said David Irion, president and CEO of St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation. “There’s a clear difference there, even statistically identifiable.”

The event is June 15, the day before Father’s Day.

In 2011, 7.6 million females fin-ished road races in the United States compared with 6.2 million men, according to Running USA.

“We really think this is an im-portant thing for men to take a look at,” Irion said. “They don’t have to run. Guys especially get intimidated by their theory that they have to run the 5K or be a world-class runner. The main thing is, which I think women have started to do really well, is get out and do something.”

This event is a call to all fathers to “get off the couch,” Irion said.

New this year is a team category.Teams will get a free photo taken

at the finish at Dehler Park, and there’ll be prizes for the teams with best costumes, most people, most dads and oldest dad.

The event, in its 34th year, is aiming to get friends and families moving together.

Students from Washington, Broadwater and Newman elemen-tary schools will participate and have been getting in shape with workouts before school.

The weekend kicks off on June 13, with Alive After 5, an outdoor summer street party in front of The Billings Gazette. Zen will perform from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Heart and Sole features a 2-mile walk, and a 5K and 10K. The 5K is designated as the Road Runners Club of America Western Regional Championship and begins at 8 a.m. The 2-mile walk begins at 8:20 a.m., with the 10K start set for 8:30.

Runners and walkers finish at Dehler Park where St. Vincent Healthcare and the Gazette will host the Montana Active Life Fes-tival featuring lots of activities for families, including Zumba, a climb-ing wall and an inflatable obstacle course provided by the YMCA.

Proceeds from the race go to the YMCA and BikeNet.

Last year, the YMCA Strong Community Campaign received $14,000 and BikeNet received $11,000. St. Vincent Healthcare and The Billings Gazette Communica-

tions are title sponsors and the race is organized by Montana Amateur Sports.

“We are excited about our con-tinued Heart and Sole event par-ticipation,” said Michael Gulledge, publisher of The Gazette.

“St. Vincent’s leadership for over 30 years provides a solid founda-tion to grow Heart and Sole into a weekend of celebrating a healthy lifestyle. It’s just the right thing

to do and proceeds benefiting the YMCA and the expanding trails system is excellent.”

Organizers are hoping the Heart and Sole attracts at least 3,500 people this year, Irion said.

“We want to grow this thing every year,” Irion said.

To register or to learn more about the Heart and Sole Run, visit the event website at www.heartandsol-erace.org or call 406-254-7426.

Dads have special invite to June 15 running event

The Heart and Sole Run is June 15 and includes three races and a Montana Active Life Festival at the finish line in Dehler Park. The 5K run starts at 8 a.m., the 2-mile health walk at 8:20 a.m. and the 10K run at 8:30 a.m.

Now in its 12th year, the Magic City Blues Festival has gained a national reputation for hosting big-name acts, and this summer is no exception.

The event, which kicks off with headliner Blues Traveler on Aug. 9, will include the Steve Miller band on Aug. 10 and the Robert Cray Band at South Park on Aug. 11.

Magic City Blues promoter Tim Goodridge said he’s changing a few things up this year on advice of the festivals’ fans.

This year the South Park concert on Aug. 11 will be more family-friendly.

Kids 11 and younger will be admitted free with a paying adult. And the food vendors will be more plentiful, with more ethnic food, including Mexican and Asian dishes.

The four-day festival kicks off Aug. 8 at St. John’s Lutheran Home with a free show, then moves to Montana Avenue on Aug. 9 and 10 for two night shows for those 18 and older. On Aug. 11, a daylong family concert will be at South Park.

The Steve Miller Band will headline the Aug. 10 show with opener Matt Andersen.

Vintage Trouble will be an opener on the main stage Aug. 9.

“We’ve been doing it long enough now that we have credibility with the agents and the bands. That has to do with our longevity,” Goodridge said.

Goodridge said it’s nice to have a big-name anchor like the Steve Miller Band, who he has been trying to book for years.

But he gets even more excited to see emerg-ing bands like Vintage Trouble come to town. Just like the Lumineers, who played South Park three years ago, and Rev. Peyton and His Big Damn Band, who have played the festival twice, Goodridge expects Vintage Trouble to hit it big soon.

“We want to be taste-makers,” Goodridge said. “It’s Magic City Blues, so you know you can go there for great music and probably turn into fans for the rest of your life.”

Peter Karp and Sue Foley and Matt Ander-sen are scheduled openers on Aug. 9. Vintage Trouble opens for Blues Traveler on Aug. 8. Allen Stone opens for the Robert Cray Band on Aug. 11.

As an extension of Magic City Blues, Go-odridge developed a nonprofit organization, Perfect Pitch, which raises money for local music programs. Goodridge said the organiza-tion has donated at least $50,000 over the years to local music programs.

Among the volunteers who help put on Magic City Blues are area music educators, including Quentin Staton, band director of Lockwood School, and Kari Drange, music teacher at Shepherd School. Perfect Pitch aided both of those schools.

“We helped the Lockwood School purchase some instruments last year, and Kari Drange typically uses her money to fix or buy instru-ments,” Goodridge said.

“We always sponsor music programs like the talent show at Senior. Basically, the music

directors use the money for whatever they need.”

Three years ago, the Magic City Soul run was established as part of Montana Cycling’s Race Series.

Race organizer Stephanie Kirkpatrick said she expects 500 runners in the 10K and 3K this year. Both races begin at South Park on Aug. 10.

As a special outreach, race organizers spon-sor any kid from the Friendship House who would like to compete. Last year, 20 students participated in weekly training sessions to prepare for the race and were sponsored in the event.

Race registration opens in June at www.montanacyclingraceseries.com.

For tickets or more information, go to magicityblues.com.

Magic City Blues weekend events keep expanding


Fans cheer for Sons of Fathers at Magic City Blues. The three-day concert festival is Aug. 8-11 and will feature Blues Traveler, the Steve Miller Band and the Robert Cray Band, among many other performers. For information, go to magiccityblues.com.

Eight downtown brewers and distillers want to make it easier for customers to travel from one of the establishments to the next.

So the eight have launched a one-day-a-week trolley service that makes regular stops at the businesses so people can easily move between them.

“The idea is to have the trolley pick up people and travel through the brewery district, which includes two distilleries as well, and a couple of hotels or more, just to give people a ride,” said George Moncure, president of Yel-lowstone Valley Brewing Co.

The trolley, which is owned by the Billings Trolley Co., makes continuous loops to all the taprooms and distilleries from 4 to 8 p.m. or after. The service started on April 26.

Those behind the project are Angry Hank’s, Carter’s Brewing, Himmelberger Brewing Co., Montana Brewing Co., Spirit of Montana Distilling, Trailhead Spirits, Uberbrew and Yellowstone Valley Brewing Co.

The trolley also stops at the Northern Hotel and the Best Western Clocktower Inn.

Owners of the breweries and distilleries started talking about the idea earlier this year, Moncure said.

Offering easy transportation to locals and visitors is another way to boost business and allow customers to taste the locally produced brews.

The trolley service also takes a page from the past, Moncure said.

“In a way it’s kind of nostalgic,” he said. “There used to be a trolley service here, the Billings Traction Co. In 1910, six electric cars went around town here to Coulson, south of town.”

The trolley service is a nice way for visitors to Billings to cover a lot of ground downtown without having to navigate the streets them-selves, Moncure said.

“We have a lot of people who stay in hotels and they come and visit us at our various estab-lishments,” he said. “I think invariably they have a good time and they get in conversations with locals.”

Moncure said he’ll get emails or even postcards later from people telling him how much they enjoyed their stay and the chance to

mingle with locals.Jake Holshue, a distiller with Trailhead

Spirits, said this is just one of the ideas local brewers and distillers are working on.

They’re also hoping to band together to

participate in the popular Alive After 5 summer street party series, among other things.

“There’s been a lot cooperation going on among us, and we’re trying to promote that,” he said.

Arts and culture? Check. Physical activity and competi-tions? Yep. Nature? Of course. Celebrations and parties? You better believe it.

It’s not a stretch to say that you could make a summer to-do list and check off every item without having to leave Red Lodge.

At least in the visual sense, the Beartooth and Absaroka moun-tains surrounding town are Red Lodge’s most obvious feature. Just a few miles to the south, the famed Beartooth Highway is world-renowned as one of the most scenic drives in the country and, at its highest in Montana, reaches an elevation of 10,350 feet.

But there’s more to the moun-tains than just a pretty drive. On June 23, the 45th annual Beartooth Run — a 5K or 10K hill climb road race — takes place at the top of the Beartooth Pass and challenges runners to finish the entire course, all above 10,000 feet.

For those looking for a longer burn, a cycle tour of the greater Yellowstone National Park area may be the ticket. One such com-pany, the recently established Cycle Greater Yellowstone, offers a complete guided bicycle tour of the park in Montana and Wyo-ming from Aug. 18 to 24.

Looking for something a little more slow-paced? On July 6, geologist Marv Kauffman and ecologist Phil Robertson will lead a one-day excursion will lead a geological and ecological tour of the Beartooth Mountains.

If walking, running and cycling aren’t your thing, how

about a little boating? The Rock Creek Slalom Races will be held on June 8 and take kayakers through a series of slalom gates ending at Rock Creek Park in downtown Red Lodge.

For those looking to do something that doesn’t involve the outdoors, there’s still plenty around town.

Montana’s oldest music festi-val will kick off the summer with its 50th anniversary when the Red Lodge Music Festival brings 200 students into town from June 1 through 9 for a series of concerts and performances.

From July 2 to 4, the Home of

Champions Parade and Rodeo brings professional rodeo cow-boys and cowgirls to town and holds parades each day at noon, culminating with a Fourth of July rodeo.

The 19th annual Beartooth Motorcycle Rally will be June 19 to 21 and brings thousands of bik-ers to town for rides.

On Aug. 3, the Red Lodge Festival of Nations highlights the town’s cultural diversity and in-cludes a full day of ethnic events, food and celebrations, as well as a parade through downtown.

If all of the celebrations are a bit too hectic, the Carbon County

Historical Society and Museum plans to hold a series of his-toric downtown walking tours on occasional Thursday evening throughout the summer.

Yellowstone National Park is just a hop, skip and a jump away in one direction while Billings is just over the horizon in the other, meaning there’s easy access to plenty of nature as well as bigger city services.

With a reputation as a town with serious vacation and tour-ism chops along with everything going on around Red Lodge over the summer, it might not be a bad idea to start planning now.

ROUNDUP — It took a lot of pancake fundraisers, picnics and potlucks to make it happen, and in May the Musselshell Valley His-torical Museum’s debuted “Clovis to Coal: An 11,000-year Commu-nity Identity Project.”

The exhibit features interpre-tive panels explaining the human connection to the Musselshell Valley from the end of the last Ice Age through the homestead set-tlement era.

“This will, in my mind any-way, put this museum on the map,” said Gary Thomas, board member of the museum. “It’s ex-tremely professional.”

The 10 new interpretive panels were developed by Livingston ar-chaeologist Larry Lahren, owner of Anthro Research Inc., and his staff.

The company has done similar projects for museums in Big Tim-ber, Harlowton, Columbus and Malta.

“We try to tailor it to the local area,” Lahren said, even though much of the history is similar for the different Montana communi-ties.”

Lahren and his staff create dis-plays for small museums.

They’re never quite sure what they may discover hidden in the corner of the buildings as they ex-plore them for artifacts to use in the displays.

“What happens is people do-nate stuff and nobody is really sure what it is,” Lahren said.

Thomas said he liked what La-hren had done at the Harlowton museum so much that he sought the support of the Roundup mu-seum board and then helped gath-er donations to fund the $10,900

project.Since the display is small, it

picked some of the high points in the past 11,000 years of history in the area, beginning with early ice

age humans and continuing on to the homesteading era.

“This is quite an undertaking,” Thomas said.

“It’s the biggest investment in

the museum in a long, long time.”The two-story museum has

been located in Roundup’s old Catholic school at 524 First St. W., since the 1970s.

It includes an old log cabin from the 1800s that has been reassembled and furnished, as well as agricultural equipment, a blacksmith shop, sheep wagon and printing equipment from the town’s newspaper.

Many of the items on display previously bore no interpretation to explain their place in the area’s history, Thomas said.

When Lahren and his crew went through the museum to in-ventory items, they found some artifacts that weren’t from the re-gion, as well as some that weren’t authentic.

In addition to informing visi-tors, Thomas sees the new dis-plays as a way for young students in the area’s schools to get more information for Montana’s Indian Education for All program.

The museum is open from 1 to 5 p.m. daily through Sept. 25. There is no admission fee, but donations are accepted.

For more information call 323-1525 or 323-1662 or go to mvhm.us/index.html.

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will perform Shakespeare’s “Henry V” and George Farquhar’s “The Recruiting Officer” during its upcoming summer tour.

In its 41st season, the troupe expects to give 75 performances in 60 communities in the region.

The company features 10 professional actors selected by national auditions who tour without technical assistance to bring live theater to communities primarily in rural areas.

The company launches its 10-week tour June 19 with eight performances in Bozeman before hitting the road July 1 and concluding its summer tour Sept. 8.

This season the company has added per-formances in Malta, Thayne, Wyo., Livings-ton and the Rockin TJ Ranch in Bozeman.

“This summer, an anticipated audience of over 30,000 will be treated to two wonderful performances that encompass classic history to hilarious restoration comedy,” said Joel

Jahnke, MSIP’s artistic director and a profes-sor of theater at Montana State University.

Jahnke, who has been with the company since 1977, will direct this year’s production

of “Henry V.”During his tenure, Jahnke has directed

more than 40 productions for MSIP. He has also directed for the Montana Repertory The-atre, Greasy Joan and company in Chicago and the Magic Circle Mime Company based in Seattle.

Associate artistic director William Brown directs “The Recruiting Officer.” Elegant costumes and beautiful scenery along with original music by award-winning composer Andrew Hansen will complement the resto-ration comedy.

All performances of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, with the exception of those at Bozeman’s Sweet Pea Festival, are free and tickets are not needed. Audiences are encour-aged to show up prior to curtain time with chairs, blankets, a picnic supper and friends and family to enjoy the evening.

For more information on the plays and a complete tour schedule, visit the company’s website www.shakespeareintheparks.org.

It’s been 150 years since the dis-covery of gold in Alder Gulch, and Virginia City is planning celebrations all summer to mark the anniversary.

Festivities begin over Memorial Day, and events are planned every weekend through Labor Day.

On May 26, 1863, six men decided to make camp beside a mountain stream whose course they had been following since morning.

Four of the party went to prospect up the creek and ended up prospecting a piece of exposed bedrock. It proved to be one of the richest gold deposits in North America.

Anniversary celebration highlights include a nonmotorized-vehicle pa-rade May 25; discovery of gold histori-cal performance and events May 26; Brothel Days on June 29; the National Stagecoach and Freightwagon As-sociation National Conference on July

10-14; Virginia City Treaty Days and Daylight Creek Gathering to honor the Lemhi Shoshone and native heritage of the area July 19-21; Grand Victorian Balls June 21-23 and Aug. 16-18.

The Virginia City Area Chamber of Commerce has led a partnership to plan and support the events of the summer including a team of volun-teers and financial supporters too numerous to mention, and numerous agencies and organizations including the Montana Heritage Commission, Virginia City Preservation Alliance, Elling House Arts and Humanities Center, the Town of Virginia City, Madison County, Montana History Foundation, Humanities Montana and many more.

For more, go to www.virginiacity.com, email [email protected], or call the chamber at 800-829-2969 or Rebecca at 406-539-5683.
