Weekend Picks: Thursday, August 19th thru Sunday, August 22nd

It’s a full moon Saturday, and there seem to be limitless opportunities to howl this pleasantly cool weekend in Missoula and western Montana. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a chance at some karaoke. There’s a Beer & Bacon Fest in Missoula on Friday night. Pet Fest on Saturday. Summer MADE Fair on Sunday. Car cruisin’. Motocross races up at Plains. Mountain bike races at Disco. P-Burg’s big Summer Rotary Concert. Two big metal shows. There’s a beauty pageant Sunday night in Hamilton, fer cryin’ out loud. And that’s just scratching the surface!
The MUG is here with all the happenings this weekend around Missoula, and up the Bitterroot and Flathead valleys. Check out all the area farmers markets with their full variety to choose from; there’s live local music all over the place. Get out and enjoy our area bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages. And – floating the river is always a viable option, especially when the sun starts peeking out again. Please enjoy safely and responsibly. And definitely wear sunscreen. Or moonscreen.
Please note that events are subject to cancellation or change at the last minute. Be sure to check the event links to confirm your plans.
“Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.”

Garden City Harvest 25th Annual Farm Party
PEAS Farm
3010 Duncan Dr, Missoula, Montana
The 25th Annual Garden City Harvest Farm Party is presented by The Good Food Store and First Security Bank. The Farm Party celebrates locally grown food and community connections. This year more than ever, we have plenty to celebrate. It’s our 25th anniversary, and after a year of isolation, let’s come together in the PEAS Farm fields to eat, drink, and dance under the summer moon. Tickets are limited, better to buy in advance!
Admission is $15. Kids 12 and under are free. Everyone (kids and adults) need a ticket to enter. Please include tickets for those 12 and under. Tickets include live music, farm tours/tastings, and a delicious view!
Food trucks and tasty beverages (alcohol and non-alcohol), are available for an additional cost (that goes to local businesses, growers, and Garden City Harvest’s work growing food with and or 20,000 Missoulians).
LIVE MUSIC: Opening Band: Mudslide Charley
The band performs inspired original tunes pumping with vital relevance and emotional fervor. Their belting voices and fresh instrumentals exude a true reverence for the blues musicians who have paved their way. Using gritty electric guitar, elastic bass, chest thumping backbeat, and rich soulful vocals punctuated by harmonica, piano and saxophone, Mudslide Charley creates a musical gumbo that rattles bones and loosens limbs.
Headliner: Why We Came West
Why We Came West (formally “Emzee & Silas”), comprised of powerful, soothing vocals that sing thought-provoking, raw lyrics, transcendent silky sax leads, deep drum pockets that help your heartbeat dance, basslines strong enough to ground you and the occasional violin soars through the mix. From folk to soul, rock to country, hip hop to blues, Why We Came West will give you reason to fall deeper into the moment. They’ll move you!
FOOD: We’re inviting our food truck friends to help us celebrate local food and partnerships this year.
DRINK: Imagine Nation is brewing up a special beer for our 25th season cultivating community: Inner PEAS NE Style Pale Ale! Plus we’ll have two flavors of Western Cider on tap as well. And for those less into bubbles: wine from Grizzly Liquor.

America’s SUPER Pageant – 10th Anniversary
205 West Main Street, Hamilton, Montana
MISSION
The America’s SUPER Pageant is personal development opportunity for women of all ages throughout the World. The delegates who represent our state, country and international titles have beauty, style, poise, intelligence, confidence, and a strong desire to improve the world around them by promoting a personal platform and/or the national Safety Belt Use & Awareness Platform. The pageant gives these women the opportunity to advance their personal goals, while acting as a role model to those around them.
ABOUT US
Would you like to be one of our honored title holders? Would you like a pageant that holds quality events, with amazing regalia, representing a life saving purpose, all for an affordable entry fee? Would your family like to visit the beautiful & historic Bitterroot Valley in the heart of Montana, where the natural beauty of the mountains is close enough to touch, and fly-fishing is so grand that movies like “A River Runs Through it” were filmed here? Are you a Super Hero in the lives of others? Are you a Super Mom, daughter, volunteer, role model, or friend? This pageant is for Super women, who leave their mark on the lives around them! The America’s Super Teen, Miss/ Ms./Mrs. competition is directed by Janet Bierer and is being held in memory of her daughter, Allanya DaRay Thorning, who lost her life on July 18, 2010. Our custom banner is emblazed with the “Buckle Up” message to promote the platform of Seat Belt Use & Awareness. We believe that if we change one life, we may also save that life. Delegates may have their own platforms, but agree to promote Seat belt use also. Ms. Bierer has been directing pageants since 1990 on the local, state and national level from MAO preliminaries, to online events.
PLATFORM
America’s SUPER Ms. Delegates do not need to have a personal platform, but agree to promote the national platform of Seat Belt Use and Awareness on their Comp/Autograph cards and banner with the “Buckle Up” message.
