So You Think You Can Dance? MSU POW WOW


If you're in the Bozeman area this weekend, don't miss the annual Pow-Wow! A colorful cultural tradition of friendship, dancing and singing. Enjoy the variety of dances and songs from religious, to war and social. The MSU pow wow is one of Montana's largest. Regional dancers and musicians compete in hand crafted costumes that have been passed down through the generations.

This student produced, non-profit event is free and open to the public. Browse the booths of traditional art and foods. Audience members can participate in dance, as well.

The annual Montana State University American Indian Council Pow Wow will be held May 2-3 at MSU's Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.

Who Checks the Snow Report the end of April?


Today, I enjoy another Spring day of a winter's scene, a blanket of snow. The local Snow Report predicts another day of "April Showers" here in SW Montana. So, why am I even looking at the snow report in April? One has to wonder, is Montana on the upturn for moisture after enduring almost of decade of drought? While snow cover is frustrating, it is good news.

The USDA reports that snow pack is 102% above average Statewide. The SW Montana river basin snow pack is well above average. For example, the Madison River Basin is 113% above average. The area ski resorts enjoyed a great season or powder and massive snow depths. Big Sky Resort had a 400" depth on Lone Mountain. Bridger Bowl boasted 397" of snowfall throughout the season. A great ski season is typically followed by an increase of ski vacationers for the next year. With that said, we look forward to an increase in sales of our resort properties.

MSU Sponsorships foster Community & Students

Support Your Local MT Team:


Recently, our Prudential Montana Ranch and Recreational Group was given the opportunity to sponsor the MSU Spring Rodeo. The MSU Rodeo Team is a self supporting organization that raises its own funds through community support. Our sponsorship funds helped to put on and promote the 4 day intercollegiate regional rodeo event. The event was highly successful with a sold out arena and a record number of attendants for an MSU rodeo event. The awesome turn out will help to promote enthusiasm for the university athletic and scholarship programs. Sponsorship funds go a long way:
  • Financial Support for Athlete's expenses
  • Athletic Scholarship Funds for Tuition
  • Financial Support to put on and promote local Events
  • Local Economy boosted by attending Sports Fans
  • Good turn out brings future events to our Community

It felt great to be a part of the promotion. We look forward to many more great events. Check out Montana Real Estate at http://www.leaholson.com/
