Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Thursday, October ninth, twenty twenty-five. The sun is up and so is Bozeman, bustling with fresh stories and plenty for you to enjoy today. Let’s start with the buzz at Montana State University, which is still resonating from Tuesday night’s huge Turning Point USA event. The Brick Breeden Fieldhouse played host to three thousand three hundred people, packing the venue for speeches from Governor Greg Gianforte and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. People lined up before dawn, and by evening, students and community members gathered for lively political dialogue, a record turnout for MSU. If you’re craving more connection on campus, the First Generation Students Association holds its club meeting today, inviting all to support first-generation students and build campus community.Across town, safety and transparency are in the spotlight. The Bozeman Police Department just rolled out a new virtual crime dashboard, giving you instant access to neighborhood crime stats, calls for service, and traffic incidents. This interactive dashboard puts vital city data right at your fingertips, making Bozeman Montana’s first city with this comprehensive public tool. And for those concerned about speedy drivers and school zone safety, the Bozeman Police are bringing back their dedicated traffic enforcement unit this November, with two officers soon patrolling high-traffic areas—think downtown, Seventh Street, Huffline, and Cottonwood—hoping to curb risky driving where it matters most.If you're looking for things to do, there’s plenty for everyone. Today at Bozeman Pond Park, families with little ones can stroll the Literacy Trail, a free activity perfect for kids ages zero to five. The Bozeman Public Library offers a Craft for a Cause loom-knitting event for teens, and throughout the afternoon, kids of all ages can join reading circles and creative projects. Over at the Museum of the Rockies, babies and preschoolers are welcomed for interactive science sessions included with admission—great for hands-on learning.Art lovers should check out Studio Wheelhouse, which continues its letterpress and sewing classes if you're ready to get creative. And don’t forget, tonight marks the start of the Bozeman Doc Series’ eleventh season at the Emerson Center, featuring an acclaimed documentary at seven. Admission is open, so grab a seat and be inspired.Looking ahead this weekend, Big Sky Oktoberfest kicks off today at three and runs through Saturday with German food, drinks, and lively music. If you venture out to Rocky Creek Farm or the Bozeman Maze, you’ll find fall fun for families with pumpkin picking and corn mazes. Also, mark your calendars for the Montana Distillers Guild Fall Festival on the twenty-fifth—tickets are already in demand.On a neighborhood note, Bozeman streets have changed as vehicle living permits ended this week, making camper-lined roads a memory for now. It's part of the city’s ongoing debate on housing and public spaces, so keep an ear out for updates.There's so much happening beneath our big sky, and we hope you find a moment to enjoy the crisp air, connect with your neighbors, and discover something new.
