👔🎉 Happy National Boss’s Day — October 16th! 🎉👔

Today we celebrate the people who keep us on task, answer approximately 47 questions a day, approve our vacation requests, and somehow always know when we’re “just stopping by to ask one quick question.” 😂

To all the bosses out there: thank you for your leadership, patience, guidance, and for occasionally pretending not to notice when we’re counting down the minutes to 5:00! ⏰🤣

Here’s to the bosses who support their teams, keep things moving, and make the workplace a little more fun along the way.

Happy National Boss’s Day! We appreciate you… even when you schedule meetings. 😉☕️

🍰🍪 Happy National Dessert Day! 🍪🍰

In honor of today, we’re taking a moment to remember one of our favorite parts of the fair… THE DESSERTS! 😍

From picture-perfect pies and beautiful cakes to cookies, brownies, breads, and all those delicious creations entered as exhibits — our exhibitors definitely know how to make a fair a little sweeter!

We’re still wondering how so many of those desserts made it through judging without mysteriously disappearing. 👀😂

Today seems like the perfect excuse to dig out those fair memories, admire the ribbons, and maybe… just maybe… have a piece of pie in honor of the good old days. 🥧🏆

Cheers to the bakers, the judges, the blue ribbons, and every delicious bite!

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

Today is a reminder that mental health matters — not just today, but every day.

You never really know what someone is carrying behind the smile, the “I’m fine,” or the busy schedule. So check on your people. Listen without judgment. Give yourself permission to rest. And remember that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a sign of strength.

Be kind. Be patient. Give yourself and others a little extra grace. You never know how much a simple “How are you really doing?” might mean. 💚

Take care of your mind. Take care of your people. And most importantly, remember that you don’t have to go through it alone.

🎿🏕️ MORE FUN COMING TO OUR FACILITY! 🏕️🎿

We’re excited to welcome the Lost Trail Ski Patrol Gear Swap back to the Ravalli County Fairgrounds this year! Whether you’re ready to finally admit that you’re never going to use that gear again 😂 or you’re on the hunt for some great equipment for the upcoming season, this is the place to be!

🧤 GEAR DROP-OFF
📅 Friday, October 9, 2026
⏰ 5:00–8:00 PM

🛒 GEAR SWAP SALE
📅 Saturday, October 10, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM–12:00 PM

📦 UNSOLD GEAR PICK-UP

This is your sign to go dig through that gear closet, garage, basement, shed, or mysterious corner where outdoor equipment goes to hibernate. 😂

Got gear you no longer use? Consign it!
Need gear for the next adventure? Come shop!
Have absolutely no idea what you have in the garage anymore? We recommend starting there. 🤣

📣 Mark your calendars, start sorting through your stuff, and help us spread the word!

Because one person’s “I haven’t used this in three years” is another person’s “I’ve been looking everywhere for one of these!” 😉

🐄🤠 MORE HAPPENINGS AT OUR FACILITY! 🌾🎪

Our facility stays pretty busy, and we’re excited to welcome the Bitterroot Stockgrowers Association Annual Ag Expo & Banquet!

If agriculture, livestock, learning, shopping, good food, live music, and a little friendly auction competition sound like your kind of weekend… you’re going to want to check this out! 😉

🌾 AG EXPO & SEMINARS
📅 Friday, October 9 | 5–9 PM
📅 Saturday, October 10 | 9 AM–2 PM
🎟️ FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

Come check out great vendors, kids’ activities, and educational seminars. There will be plenty to see, learn, and do — and probably at least one conversation that starts with, “Well, back when I was raising cattle…” 😂🐄

Then come back Saturday evening for the Annual Banquet Dinner at 5 PM! 🍽️🎶

Expect great food, live music, a live auction, a silent auction, and plenty of good company. Just remember: what happens at the auction stays at the auction… unless you accidentally win it. 😂

Come join the fun and support the Bitterroot Stockgrowers Association! 🌾🐄❤️

☕️🎉 Happy International Coffee Day! 🎉☕️

A special shoutout to our favorite coffee vendors who keep us going at the Fair! ❤️

From the first cup in the morning to the “I definitely need another one” cup later in the day, you keep us caffeinated, sugared up, and raring to go from sunup to sundown! 😂☕️🍩

Let’s be honest… the Fair runs on a lot of things — hard work, volunteers, livestock, laughter, and an impressive amount of coffee and sugar! 🤣

We’re so thankful for our coffee crew and all the delicious fuel you bring to the Fair. You keep our staff, vendors, volunteers, and fairgoers smiling, moving, and occasionally pretending we’re not exhausted! 😜

☕️ Cheers to the folks who keep our cups full and our Fair going! ❤️🎡

Happy International Coffee Day! Now… who’s ready for a refill? 👀☕️
