Good morning, Bozeman.

The Bozeman Schools Foundation will host its 11th Annual Santa Run for Education on December 6—sponsored by Stockman Bank and offering over $4,000 in prizes for schools, teams and runners.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has opened submissions for the 2026 Montana Migratory Bird Stamp contest, asking for artwork that shows waterbird species in their natural habitat and Montana scenes.

Submissions are accepted through Feb. 27 (the Wetlands Protection Advisory Council will select the winner in March) and the winner will receive a $2,000 cash prize (with promotional features planned for 2026).

MSU athletic director Leon Costello said the school plans to expand Bobcat Stadium by adding new seats, premium options, and field-level suites to boost capacity from 22,000 to 25,000—though no timeline or final design has been set yet.
