GREAT FALLS, MT (Sept 12, 2016) – Check out some of the “amhayzing cre-hay-tions” that central Montana community members showcased at the 27th annual Montana Bale Trail – AKA “What The Hay” event on Sunday.
The “What the Hay” (Montana Bale Trail) is organized by The Friends of the Hobson Library/Museum and sponsored by local businesses and private individuals.
It is held annually on the first Sunday following Labor Day in conjunction with the Utica Day Fair.
Beginning in 1990, “What they Hay” has grown from a friendly, tongue-in-cheek, competition between two neighboring ranchers into a full-blown, major tourist attraction.
