“TROUT RODEO!!!” 

It’s a cheer, a rallying cry, a great time when it happens in the river, a vibe, a state of mind, one of the best music events Ennis has to offer in the Summer and it’s all for a good cause. 

“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” – Pablo Picasso

As much as the parade or the rodeo, the annual flooding of Main Street with music on the Fourth of July weekend is a tradition that is loved by locals and visitors alike. This year took the game to a new level with the Madison Music Festival featuring Reckless Kelly and Drew Cooper joining the lineup. 

Yeoww!! The Madison Valley Arts Festival is this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Peter T's Park!

Somehow this awesome event inadvertantly slipped up to Friday in our Community Calendar this week. We apologize for the confusion. Please visit on SATURDAY!

The outstanding success of the Ennis-area O’Dell Creek Restoration Project, which began two decades ago, is recognized with a NorthWestern Energy-commissioned painting by renowned Montana artist Monte Dolack.

After more than a year without much to speak of re: community art projects, artists around the county have signed up to not only create beautiful pieces of art, but also benefit the Madison Valley Medical Center Foundation.

Artists grades K-12 are invited to submit entries to a Montana State-Fish Art contest. State-Fish Art is a national contest sponsored by Wildlife Forever that recognizes winners by state.

With creepy music playing in the background, the familiar voice of John Zirkle introduces “Inherent Danger: A Mountain Murder Series.” The new radio theater series created by the Big Sky Community Theater group over the last six weeks gives a nod to the culture of Big Sky.
