Friends of the Fairgrounds

Your Fairgrounds is rapidly becoming the envy of every other city in Montana.  The Last Chance Stampede and Fair is setting record attendance numbers as are other exhibitors who choose to use our Fairgrounds.  We have constructed a new Outdoor Performance Arena, Grandstand, Entry Hall and Exhibit Hall.  The West Plaza is complete.  The west parking area has a new gravel base.  Now it is time to build a new entry to the Fairgrounds.  This new gate will have an electronic events information and advertising sign.  Sponsors will pay for much of the costs, but to finish the job, we need your help.  Every dollar you contribute this year will go directly to the construction and installation of our new gate.  Being a part of this improvement is easy.

Just click on the link below and fill out the application.  Whether you are an individual, family or company, joining Friends of the Fairgrounds has never been easier.  Our membership rates remain low and unchanged from last year.  The membership benefits have grown in value.  Join "Friends" today.  You will be a builder of these Fairgrounds.
