August is nostalgic for me… it’s the month when I moved to Bozeman twenty-nine years ago. I had visited only once, for orientation at MSU over a very hot few days earlier that summer. I absolutely relate to anyone who has moved here sight unseen, or after just one visit. Bozeman has something that draws people in and often doesn’t let go. I know so many people who have worked incredibly hard to stay here, and done everything possible to make it work; I include myself in this group.

I really am proud of the work my husband Brian and I have done in Bozeman over the past seventeen years, publishing Bozeman Magazine for the community. We created the publication to put all-things-Bozeman in one place, and bring community members together with editorial they can learn from and relate to, as well as to provide our area’s most accurate and complete events calendar. The calendar allows people to find things they are interested in and, in turn, find like-minded people to connect with. That is what you will find in this issue of Bozeman Magazine—a number of informative and historical articles about our town, what to do here in the summer, the opinions of locals, and pages of local events for you to explore.

Whether this is your first time finding Bozeman Magazine at one of our 100+ distribution locations, or you’ve been following our journey the entire time, we know you’ll find something that can spark your interest in our community, the place we call home, and that will, hopefully, inspire you to be a part of something bigger than yourself.​

​Each month, we publish articles from a variety of community members. If you would like to contribute to an upcoming issue of Bozeman Magazine, please email us at info@bozemanmagazine.com and we’ll get back to you will some information. Our editorial deadline is the 10th of the month for the following month.

​If you are a business looking to advertise, we would love to add you to our roster. We’ve been helping local businesses, ideas and events succeed for many years. We know the community will find you and support you when you advertise with Bozeman Magazine.

My August will be filled with music from Virginia City to Missoula, enjoying my flower garden, and preparing for the new school year with my two youngest children. Make it a great month!
