Well, it is officially here, the start of recruitment season and as usually happens, I am the first out the door. Montana for whatever reason starts early.
Sunday was my travel day….nothing too exciting. It is tough to leave my family. My daughter was not happy about me leaving which killed me.
Was happy that none of my flights were canceled since I was flying Horizon. Had to fly up to Seattle and then over to Bozeman. It is quite obvious that Montana has had a bad fire season. The smoke is thick. The sunrise this morning in Bozeman was somewhat muted by the smoke which created a cool effect.
Had my first two college fairs yesterday, Bozeman and Livingston. I wasn’t sure what to expect since we have never traveled to Montana before. But I was very happy by how many students stopped by to talk and studying at PNCA. Had a fair amount of driving which will be the case every day. This is a big state!!
If you are even in Billings and need a little dive bar for drinks, make sure to visit the “Rainbow”. We met a man who claimed to be Jesus…they have shuffle board and cheap Pabst on tap.
Today’s college fair in Billings went very well. Lots of students interested in Photography. Overall I am very pleased with the response.
After the fair it was off to Lewistown which is a small town right in the center of Montana. In the hotel I am staying at (Yogo Inn), they have a marker in the courtyard that shows the geographic center of Montana. Great little town. Will have dinner with some other admissions types and then off to the famous Montana Tavern which has a river that runs beneath it and you can usually see trout. Kind of weird as you sip a beer and watch the trout below you. They also have shuffle board!
Tomorrow there are two fairs, one here in Lewistown and then one in Great Falls. Tomorrow night we will visit the most famous bar in all of Montana. It is in Great Falls and is called the Sip and Dip.
The bar was rated by GQ as the #1 bar in the world. If you ever are in Great Falls you MUST go to the Sip and Dip.
As for the picture, that was van parked at Montana State University where the Bozeman Fair was held yesterday. They take their sports and mascots seriously.
