UM hits Montana fairs
Curious about your state’s largest university and its satellite campuses? Then go to the fair.

UM will host booths at four of Montana’s largest fairs this summer. The booths will offer a variety of University information, including admissions brochures, catalogs, athletic schedules, sports posters, UM publications and more. And don’t forget about the games and the chance to win Griz footballs, tattoos and pencils.

The fairs also will offer appearances by Monte, UM’s 2002 National Mascot of the year. Other UM celebrities also may stop by.

UM representatives and alumni volunteers will be at the July 30-Aug. 7 Montana State Fair in Great Falls, the Aug. 10-15 Western Montana Fair in Missoula, the Aug. 13-21 MontanaFair in Billings and the Aug. 18-22 Northwest Montana Fair in Kalispell.

Monte will appear at each fair, but the times for Great Falls and Missoula aren’t set yet. But UM’s crowd-pleasing bear will be in Billings from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17. He also will appear in the Kalispell parade before performing at the fairgrounds from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20.
