Good morning, Bozeman.

Following a June 7 accident in Butte that claimed a 13-year-old boy, some Bozeman parents expressed unease about the Big Sky Country State Fair scheduled for July 15-19 at Gallatin County Fairgrounds; the fair will use Carnival Midway Attractions (a company with daily ride inspections) to ensure safety.

A 12-year-old visitor was injured at 9:15 a.m. Friday, June 26 near Mud Volcano, north of Fishing Bridge at Yellowstone (emergency personnel transported the child to a nearby hospital).

The Museum of the Rockies will unveil a permanent exhibit featuring Big Al, an Allosaurus from the late Jurassic, next Friday.

The exhibit, funded by a $63,000 grant (from the David B. Jones Foundation), shows Big Al’s original skull and 3-D printed reconstruction with interactive features planned later this summer.

Wildlife staff conducted spring mule deer surveys on Friday, Jun.

26 across southwestern Montana and found above-average fawn recruitment in areas including Bozeman, Sheridan, and Dillon. The data will guide future management decisions + help track deer trends in the region.

Starting July 1, Montanans will be able to purchase a specialty license plate that raises funds for wildlife crossings on highways to reduce vehicle collisions.

The plate features artwork by local Gallatin High School graduate Kylie Bute and donates $20 per sale to support safety projects.

Bozeman golfers on Montana’s mountain courses face shifting conditions — altitude, wind and temperature call for switching golf balls mid-round for reliable performance.

Many players plan to adjust their ball choice as weather changes to keep their shots on target.
