Summer

It's a good old fashioned heat wave across Montana this week with some parts of the state to see triple digits. Most of us will be hovering in the 90s for at least a week, so we wanted to share our super easy ways to keep your cool.

It's summertime and that means a whole lot of folks coming to Montana for vacation. Many Montanans believe that we have too many tourists, but is that true?

From Great Falls to Baker, here's a roundup of who's playing where at Montana fairs this summer.

Get out of town this weekend! Visit Southeastern Montana, and see what you're missing (Besides flatness)

The mouthwatering smell of barbeque smoke will be filling the air in Absarokee this weekend (6/10 - 6/11) for the 18th annual Montana BBQ Cook-Off.

Grab an innertube, because this poker run on June 26th is actually a poker float!

The state does have a presence at this years Summer Games, with 3 Montanans making their way to Tokyo. Ali Weisz (Belgrade), Nicole Heavirland (Whitefish), and Nick Mowrer (Butte) are representing the Treasure State, with Mowrer returning after participating in the 2012 games.

They are still being very cautious about the whole situation.

There's nothing better than a Friday night at Gallatin Speedway!

Hopefully it will reopen this summer.
