Whether you’re starting your day with a cup of coffee or getting the kids ready for summer camp, here’s what’s happening in our vibrant Gallatin Valley.Heads up Bozeman, the 14th Annual Bozeman Stampede kicks off today at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. This long-running tradition attracts rodeo fans from all over and features top-tier bull riding, barrel racing, live music, and plenty of Montana flavor. If you’re a newcomer or longtime local, it’s the perfect way to celebrate our Western roots and catch up with neighbors. Tickets are still available, and the energy is sure to be high all weekend.If you’re looking to enjoy live music, Pine Creek Lodge has you covered tonight with the band Shadowgrass performing on their outdoor Beer Garden Stage. Their Thursday shows have become a staple for summer nights, and with car camping free for all beer garden shows, pack a picnic, bring a blanket, and enjoy some bluegrass under the stars.In local news, Bozeman’s downtown is buzzing with fresh momentum as the City Commission advances plans for a new six-story boutique hotel. After months of debate, the project is officially moving forward, bringing hopes for more jobs and a vibrant new space in the heart of Main Street. Some residents are excited about the boost to the local economy, while others are keeping a close eye on how it might affect traffic and parking, so public discussions are expected to heat up in the coming weeks.Air travelers can breathe a sigh of relief after a small plane crash at the Bozeman Airport yesterday ended without injury. Emergency crews responded quickly, and airport officials say it was a lucky break that no one was hurt. Flights resumed with minimal delays.Looking up at the Bridgers, folks are still talking about the landslide at Bridger Bowl earlier this week. Cleanup is ongoing, but so far, there’s been no impact to recreation on area trails, thanks to the hard work of local trailblazers and backcountry horsemen who’ve stepped in to keep our outdoor spaces open and safe.On the sports front, Montana State University is eagerly preparing for fall, with a new turf field and six-lane track set to open on campus August 18th. The fresh facilities promise not just better training for athletes, but new opportunities for the community to stay active year-round. Bobcat fans, mark your calendars for upcoming home games, and expect another season of high energy on and off the field.Weatherwise, expect breezy conditions as a cold front rolls through today, bringing a chance of afternoon thunderstorms and a welcome cooldown from the recent heat.
