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.  BUT... There is still a lot more work to do.  One of the things we are looking at is a new entry gate to the Fairgrounds.  This new gate will have electronic events information and advertising sign.  We are also looking at expanding our park area, paving the west and east parking lots as well as many other projects on our "to-do" list.  So we need your help!

Every dollar you contribute this year to the Friends of the Foundation will go directly to construction and installation of our new gate and eventually to the other future ideas for a new and better Fairgrounds.  Being a part of these important improvements is easy.  Just open the attached form, fill it out and send it in with your donation.  

Let's continue to make these Fairgrounds the pride of Lewis and Clark County for years to come!
