Billings Fair the Biggest in the State, and Tons of Fun

The Billings Fair isn’t the official state fair, but just like in so many other states, it doesn’t have to be the official one to be the biggest and best. It has the most attractions, most events, and the biggest names, so by my book, much as the Puyallup Fair trumps the official Washington State [...]

Great Falls Hosts the Annual State Fair

Great Falls is a great city, and one too few tourists take the time to visit. Sure it’s off the I-90 pretty far, but it’s a beautiful city, and one with many attractions for tourists and those looking to relocate there as well. One of the most fun things we found, however, was the official [...]

Prairie County Museum More than Worth a Visit

Posted on 02 September 2010

We’ve traveled the state far and wide, even hit the most obscure corners, and one thing we’ve never failed to miss is the innumerable “free museum” offerings.

Bozeman Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Infested with Bedbugs

Posted on 01 September 2010

This is a tad outside our normal area of expertise. We’ve never stayed there ourselves, and we aren’t paristologists by any means. Still, we’ve gotten email complaints from two readers thus far about it, and maybe it’s a breaking story. The Bozeman Hilton Garden Inn Hotel may be infested with bed bugs. Continue Reading

Posted on 31 August 2010

We spend a lot of time talking up the most amazing things around the greater northwest area, and considering that this includes all of Washington State, that means we end up reviewing a lot of highly funded places… but still, this place, lowly funded, and 70-years hence, is still pretty noteworthy.

We’ve covered a lot of hotels on our assorted journeys, these being more than three years of dedicated tours, and we have a pretty fair idea what makes for a good place. We’ve seen it all, done it all, and one thing we can say for sure is that the Hilton Garden Inn in Great [...] Continue Reading

Chuck E. Cheese in Billings as Good as Any, Better than Most

Posted on 22 August 2010

We’re big fans of Chuck E. Cheese. I know it’s a big chain, but they’re as often run by real, local, hard-working people as any other business you might find, and they’re more professional than almost anyone you’ll find.

Frontier Gateway Museum Glendive Shockingly Wonderful

Posted on 20 August 2010

When it comes to free museums, my expectations are always fairly low, and understandably so. They’re staffed by volunteers, feature collections of stuff other museums are unwilling to buy, and normally offer little more than a big mass of old junk. The Frontier Gateway Museum in Glendive, however, shattered that stereotype forever, and they do [...] Continue Reading
