Welcome to the 218th issue of Bozeman Magazine, where we put everything Bozeman into one place for readers: Bozemanites with active lifestyles, visitors, and people attracted to the local art on our cover. I’m happy you’ve found us, or have come back for more! 

Thirty Septembers ago, I was a freshman at Montana State University. I participated in the now defunct, but then annual, bonfire in the parking lot between the Fieldhouse and the football stadium. I went to all the home football games, and even won the opportunity from a local radio station to enjoy a game from the sidelines in a hot tub with friends. Now, I enjoy Bobcat football from the roof of the stadium next to the television cameraman, where I am able to see the surrounding mountain ranges and all the action while getting some great images, like the one included above. My time in Bozeman has been filled with pomp and vim; the excitement of becoming a Bobcat has only grown, along with the stadium and the winning record. I count myself lucky to have lived every year of my life under our Big Sky.

In this issue, you will find a variety of articles, from our What’s Your Beef opinion piece to features on the power of sound, and on how to navigate our surrounding areas. You’ll enjoy an inside peek into upcoming music and theatre and, as usual, we include a dining interview, a local real estate update, and our monthly Top 10 list. As always, the Greater Yellowstone Events Calendar is in print and online, where new events are added daily. You will also find our advertising partners, the ones who make all this possible. Please let them know you found them in Bozeman Magazine, and experience what they are bringing to our community. They are awesome! 

Have a great month—Go Cats!
