Bozeman’s Choice Reader Poll Awards

n 2015 we turned to our readers for the first time and asked you to tell us what you like and don’t like. From your favorite places to eat, who your favorite bands in the area are, your favorite spots, and hiking trails, rivers for recreating, and local celebrities in our Bozeman’s Choice Reader Poll. In 2016 we did it again, and doubled our participation (voters - you guys).

Our Reader Poll is massive: making this issue our biggest of the year.

For the second January in a row we’ve pushed aside the bulk of our regular editorial content, covering local hot topics, recreation & health, dining and Bozeman history, so we can get the poll results to you in print (they will be online all year at bozemanmagazine.com).

We didn’t skip our awesome events calendar, that can be found at the back of the magazine.

This issue celebrates all of what makes Bozeman so great (and some of what doesn’t), and it’s all you, the reader and voter, who added the answers to our questions and filled the poll with what you like and don’t like. Not only did we ask you to vote for new restaurants popping up, new businesses, new buildings, new people with new ideas, we had you reflect on what you miss and what you would like to see in the future.

This year’s poll saw many 2 time winners (nearly half of our questions were repeat winners), and we had some exciting newcomers shake things up (MAP Brewing, XL Country). Just like last year, we had no idea how the poll was going shake out. Because our poll is completely driven by Bozemanites (100% reader added answers!), passionate enough to weigh in on every tiny facet of this community they love this is a very special issue.

To the thousand + voters, thank you for voting, and for your patience while we compiled the Top 3 results from our 206 questions and wrote a little blurb about each winner. Our 2015/16 Bozeman’s Choice issue was

requested throughout last year by readers wishing to look back on the results, share them with visitors, and keep them around for guests. We anticipate even more demand throughout 2017 for the Bozeman’s Choice issue so we printed 10,000 copies to mostly distribute to our 200 locations this month, and a few bundles to keep around for those requests.

It is truly remarkable how many readers took the time to chime in on All Things Bozeman, and because you did we can give you more interesting content on things you care about the most.

Look for topics you voted for featured editorially throughout 2017 in Bozeman Magazine. From affordable housing and planned urban growth, to river recreation, and local leaders, your votes helped us know more about how we can engage you in the new year.

Our plan has always been to keep All Things Bozeman in one place for our readers, to encourage community, and to make Bozeman a better place one issue at a time. It’s not the best appetizer in town that makes Bozeman great, it’s the people and the community they build that makes a place special. We encourage you to continue to engage with your community as much as possible in 2017!

As you dive into these results, and peruse them again later, please keep in mind ways to take advantage of them. When you see a great thing you haven’t tried, go try it! When you are disappointed with an outcome, share it. When we share our loves and disappointments with others we create space for growth and harmony, we open doors and ask others to walk through them with us. This is how we grow, and we all know Bozeman is growing, let’s make it for the best.

This is all a really big deal to us, and you proved with your votes it’s a big deal to you too. So without further ado, here are the results of the Bozeman’s Choice 2017 Reader Poll! c

Action & Recreation Your Choice Picks For Recreation & Having Fun

T

here is no shortage of options when it comes to this category! From fishing to skiing to natural hot springs, the Gallatin Valley has some of the best recreation spots in the country. People travel from all over the world to partake in the beauty we enjoy every day. Regardless of the season, our trails are accessible, there are races to run and sports teams to support. Think about your favorite spots (we promise they won’t get too crowded!) and the activities that you enjoy. Share them with us so that other locals may discover and enjoy them as well!

Your Choice Biking Trail

FIRST PLACE: Bangtail Divide SECOND PLACE: Leverich Canyon THIRD PLACE: Sourdough Leverich Canyon has quickly become the most popular biking trail in Bozeman. You voted it #1, for good reason: Consistent climbing rewards riders with banked corners, berms and opportunities for air on the downhill. It’s a close, fun ride!

Your Choice Campground

FIRST PLACE: Fairy Lake SECOND PLACE: Hood Creek - Hyalite THIRD PLACE: Pine Creek Campground You’ll need a good 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to this spot, but it’s well worth the trek. The brilliant lake and surrounding scenic trails are a fun day trip, but stay the night and immerse yourself in Montana’s natural beauty under the stars. The campground is first-come, first-served for free camping at 9 spots!

Your Choice Golf Course (Montana)

FIRST PLACE: Bridger Creek SECOND PLACE: Valley View THIRD PLACE: Cottonwood You voted Bridger Creek Golf Course your favorite course in the state of Montana two years in a row! On the Northeast side of Bozeman, just under the M, Bridger Creek’s 18-hole course is locally favored for all the best reasons: greens, challenges, and views. Season passes are on sale now at a discount before February 15!

Your Choice Hiking Trail

FIRST PLACE: Lava Lake SECOND PLACE: Drinking Horse Trail THIRD PLACE: Hyalite Lake Trail We love Lava Lake because it’s strenuous, but rewarding. And we love it despite the scarce parking. Find the mountain lake after a 3-mile hike into the Lee Metcalf WIlderness, starting near the Gallatin River and running along Cascade Creek with 1,600 feet of elevation gain. What can be better in the summer than a swim in the cool mountain lake after the climb? Lava Lake is also a great spot for another of our favorites: fishing.

Your Choice Local Sports Team

FIRST PLACE: Bobcat Football SECOND PLACE: Bozeman Hawks THIRD PLACE: Gallatin Roller Girlz On any given Saturday in late summer and early fall, Bozeman’s South Side rings with the sounds of football. Attendance often reaches 20,000 as fans cheer on their favorite local sports team: The MSU Bobcat Football team. Go Cats!

Your Choice Local Sports/Recreation Event (summer)

FIRST PLACE: Tubing the Madison SECOND PLACE: Run to the Pub THIRD PLACE: Huffing for Stuffing A huge favorite for a summer cool off is tubing the Madison! All you need is a tube and some friends to get on the river and relax, as you float your favorite length of the Madison River. This is a recreational event enjoyed by Montanans all ages! As always, don’t drink and drive.

Your Choice Local Sports/Recreation Event (winter)

FIRST PLACE: Big Sky Pond Skim SECOND PLACE: Huffing for Stuffing THIRD PLACE: Ice Climbing @ Hyalite We’re not sure you if you chose the Big Sky Pond Skim because it is a recreational activity to participate in or to watch, but you picked it 2 years in a row! The Pond Skim happens in April each year at Big Sky Resort, and is a total blast! Brave skiers and boarders take a long look at a couple huge pools of cold water and point ‘em right for them, giving it their best shot at skimming the pools. Entertainment points = 11.

Your Choice National Sports Team

FIRST PLACE: Seattle Seahawks SECOND PLACE: Denver Broncos THIRD PLACE: Chicago Cubs/Dallas Cowboys This is an interesting question for Montanans to answer, since we have no professional sports teams to call our own, we can go with whomever we choose.

Since Bozemanites are just 677 miles from Seattle, WA, it’s not a huge surprise that many of our readers are Seahawk & Bronco fans.

BozemanMagazine.com January 2017 7

Action & Recreation Your Choice River for Recreation

FIRST PLACE: Madison SECOND PLACE: Gallatin THIRD PLACE: Yellowstone Already your favorite fishing river and your winner for overall summer recreation, there’s no denying Bozeman loves the Madison River. In addition to fishing, tubing, paddle boarding, camping and boating are popular recreation activities on the Madison River. River fun is a big hit in our area, even when a bit of a trek is involved.

Your Choice Run/Walk

Your Choice Place To Get Fit (gym, club, etc.)

FIRST PLACE: Run to the Pub SECOND PLACE: Huffing for Stuffing THIRD PLACE: Bridger Ridge Run Who wouldn’t vote for a Run called the Run to the Pub? With a pint waiting for each finisher at Pub 317, and St. Patty’s Day food and festivities in Downtown Bozeman, the Run to the Pub is fun for everyone. It was voted number 2 “Best in the US” half-marathon by Runner’s World, and #1 Bozeman’s Choice two years in a row. The 10th annual Run to the Pub will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2017.

FIRST PLACE: OULA Studio Bozeman SECOND PLACE: The Ridge THIRD PLACE: Fuel Fitness Sure, OULA will help you get fit, but the Montana-born dance workout craze is spreading because it’s so dang fun. Shake your stuff, sing along to Top 40 hits and sweat it out. We also love OULA because it’s inclusive. Those of all abilities are welcome at OULA and the movement promotes self-confidence and connection with those around you.

Your Choice Ski Area/Resort

Your Choice Regional Hot Springs (developed)

Your Choice Sledding Hill

FIRST PLACE: Chico Hot Springs SECOND PLACE: Bozeman Hot Springs THIRD PLACE: Norris Hot Springs Not many communities have opportunities to enjoy natural hot springs. We have many, and you chose Chico Hot Springs as your favorite for the 2nd year in a row. Chico is just under an hour from Bozeman via Livingston, with a beautiful drive along the Yellowstone River. Take a quick trip for a soak, dinner and a drink, or stay the night and enjoy all that the resort has to offer (horseback riding, cabins, gardens, hiking and more).

Your Choice Regional Hot Springs (undeveloped)

FIRST PLACE: Boiling River SECOND PLACE: Potosi THIRD PLACE: Firehole River No longer a secret spot, the Boiling River is your choice for undeveloped regional hot springs. The Boiling River is just inside Yellowstone National Park from the Gardiner entrance, but you probably already knew that! A handful of man-made pools on the banks of the Yellowstone River hold hot water and allow the cool river water to flow through. Enjoy, and shhhh!

Your Choice River for Fishing

FIRST PLACE: Madison SECOND PLACE: Gallatin THIRD PLACE: Yellowstone The Yellowstone River may have been hurt by summer closures this year, dropping to third place and opening the top spot for the Madison. From its origin in Yellowstone Park to its confluence with the Gallatin and Jefferson rivers at Three Forks, the Madison is a haven for fishing. At times it opens into large floatable sections and at others it’s a perfect trout stream for the wading enthusiast. But the Madison is always good fishing!

FIRST PLACE: Bridger Bowl SECOND PLACE: Big Sky Resort THIRD PLACE: Discovery Basin Just 15 miles from Downtown Bozeman, Bridger Bowl is easy to get to and hard not to love. It’s world class skiing, cold smoke powder, and programs for kids, women, telemarkers and seniors, and the local vibe emitting from the Grizzly Bar, Bridger Bowl is a treasure. Ski it to believe it!

FIRST PLACE: Peets Hill SECOND PLACE: Oak Street Park THIRD PLACE: Snowfill Park Sledding is an adventure every Montanan enjoys at some time, and Peet’s Hill holds Bozeman’s Choice for local sledding hill 2 years in a row. Within walking distance from downtown and many Southeast neighborhoods, Peet’s Hill is steep enough to catch air and close enough for everyone to enjoy! You’re sure to get a workout and have a blast sledding at Peet’s Hill!

Your Choice Sports/Recreation Event (Non-Run/Walk)

FIRST PLACE: Gallatin Roller Girlz SECOND PLACE: MSU Rodeo THIRD PLACE: Big Sky Pro Bull Riding Taking it indoors, you enjoy Roller Derby! The Gallatin Roller Girlz bring the hits to each other and entertain you, their happy local audience! The Roller Girlz are a volunteer run and donation/sponsorship supported non-profit. Take in a ‘bout this summer at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds Haynes Pavilion!

Your Choice State Park (Montana)

FIRST PLACE: Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park SECOND PLACE: Missouri Headwaters THIRD PLACE: Bannack The proximity of Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park to Bozeman made it a popular pick for Your Choice State Park for 2 years in a row. The Caverns are certainly worth the drive, to tour stalagmites, columns, stalactites and helictites. You just missed the Holiday Tours in December, but the cave opens up again May 1, while the park and campground are open year-round.

Arts & Entertainment Your Choice Picks For Arts-Related Awesomeness

Y

ou may not realize it, but Bozeman is a cultured place! Not only are we fortunate to have performers visit from out of town, our community is full of talented individuals who share their gifts by performing, creating and teaching the rest of us. What local art moves you? What performance did you see that kept you talking about it for days? Think about all the amazing talent and culture we see here in the valley and tell us what you love!

Your Choice Annual Event

FIRST PLACE: Christmas Stroll SECOND PLACE: Music on Main/SLAM THIRD PLACE: Sweet Pea Festival Each year, the Christmas Stroll ushers in the holiday season. Thousands gather in downtown Bozeman to watch as Santa Claus lights the decorations above Main Street’s intersections, affectionately known as “spiders,” and join in the merriment. We love this event for its music and art, holiday shopping, food and most of all, time to celebrate with our friends and neighbors.

Your Choice Art Gallery

Your Choice Local Bluegrass Band

FIRST PLACE: Kitchen Dwellers/Laney Lou and The Bird Dogs SECOND PLACE: Bridger Creek Boys THIRD PLACE: Little Jane and the Pistol Whips It’s no surprise Bozeman has a hard time choosing a best local bluegrass band.

While we obviously love the genre, the bands sharing the top of this year’s list are those with their own definitions of what the music can be. Kitchen Dwellers’ music hybrid is galaxy grass, combining bluegrass and psychedelic rock. Laney Lou and The Bird Dogs’ interpretation of the genre, party grass, has roots in their rollicking stage show.

FIRST PLACE: Altitude Gallery SECOND PLACE: Zoot THIRD PLACE: Cottonwood Club Altitude Gallery’s slim space on Main Street is the perfect place to duck in and immerse yourself in local and regional art of all genres. Next time you’re downtown stop in and soak up some great art and say “Hi” from Bozeman Magazine.

Your Choice Local Blues Band

Your Choice Local Album Released In The Last Year

Your Choice Local Book Released In The Last Year

FIRST PLACE: Eneferens - The Inward Cold SECOND PLACE: YURT - I’m Gonna YURT THIRD PLACE: John Lowell Band - Skalkaho Road I’ll just say it, this album is a heavy metal lullaby. The band describes themselves as “Beautiful metal from the north.” We’ll take that description. Take a listen online, or buy the album at https://eneferens.bandcamp.com/.

FIRST PLACE: Bridger Creek Boys SECOND PLACE: As the Crow Flies THIRD PLACE: The Sweetbacks Not known for their blues per se, the Bridger Creek Boys do acoustically throw down the BLUEgrass often in Bozeman. Catch them every Thursday until Apr. 6 2017 from 7-9pm at Red Tractor Pizza.

FIRST PLACE: Downtown Noir by Patrik Hill SECOND PLACE: The Night Our Parents Went Out, by Katie Goodman and Soren Kisiel THIRD PLACE: The Rail: What was really doin’ in 60’s Bronx by Tommy Donovan Downtown Noir explores some of the darker sides of Bozeman. While totally fictional there is certainly a lot of authenticity that lends itself to the mythology of the book, the storyline, and ultimately the characters that inhabit this particular version of our world. Downtown Noir, Book 1 of the Bozeman Apocalypse Series is available on Amazon and at the Country Bookshelf in Downtown Bozeman.

Your Choice Local Comedy Group

FIRST PLACE: Broad Comedy SECOND PLACE: Improv on the VERGE THIRD PLACE: Big Montana & the Swingin’ D’s Irreverent and relatable, Broad Comedy gives voice to the liberal-minded population’s thoughts on topics such as politics, gentrification and female sexuality. Helmed by Katie Goodman and co-written by her husband Soren Kisel, co-founders of the Equinox (now Verge) Theater, Broad Comedy features original skits and songs to keep the audience rolling with laughter. In 16 years of shows, the Soccer Moms have graduated to Real Housewives, but Broad Comedy remains hilarious.

10 January 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

Arts & Entertainment Your Choice Local Country Band

FIRST PLACE: Western Skies SECOND PLACE: Dirt Farmer THIRD PLACE: Sam Platts and the Kootenai Three A proud party band, Western Skies plays a heap of hits. The covers are rooted in country, from old Merle Haggard to new Zac Brown. But don’t try to pigeonhole Western Skies. The band likes to turn up the rock with songs by ZZ Top or Aerosmith (before Steven Tyler went country). The wild country band knows how to party and get the crowd on the dance floor.

Your Choice Local Cover Band

FIRST PLACE: Pinky & the Floyd SECOND PLACE: The MAX THIRD PLACE: Bluebelly Junction/Paige & the People’s Band Pinky!!! Of course you love them. Anyone who loves Pink Floyd or even music loves them. Some of Bozeman’s best play in Pinky and the Floyd, a band set on recreating the intricate tunes of one of rock’s greatest bands. But what really sets the nine-piece over the top is the performance quality, with lights, sets and surprises in each show to match the epic nature of the music.

Your Choice Local Electronic Musician(s)

FIRST PLACE: Nintendeaux SECOND PLACE: Anivox THIRD PLACE: Sigmund Nintendeaux (Tyson Lunn) is a “dude obsessed with making beats.” You love him for his down-tempo trip-hop stylings, which earned him a slot at this summer’s Moods of the Madison. Nintendeaux’s first full-length album on Last Best Records, “Ghosts On A Big Ass Red Train” is available to stream or download for free on his site.

Your Choice Local Folk Performer(s)

FIRST PLACE: The Hawthorne Roots SECOND PLACE: Jim Averitt THIRD PLACE: John Lowell The Hawthorne Roots won your favorite New Band and Local Folk Performers last year as well and aren’t slowing down. With a new guitarist and folk-rooted harmonies courtesy of sisters Madeline and Emma Kelly and bassist Haley Ford, the band expanded its lineup, reach and songwriting in the last year. We can’t wait to see what they come up with in 2017!

Your Choice Local Hard Rock/Metal Band

FIRST PLACE: As the Crow Flies SECOND PLACE: Modern Sons THIRD PLACE: Arkheron Thodol As the Crow Flies wins Bozeman’s Choice for Local Hard Rock/Metal Band for the 2nd straight year. The originality and sound rendered from Drummer Scratch and Vocals/Guitar Mario Minor Jr are out of this world. Mario makes many of his own instruments and amps - get to a show!

Your Choice Local Hip Hop Artist

FIRST PLACE: Buckshot Killit SECOND PLACE: Hemingway THIRD PLACE: Farch Buckshot Killit, a member of Bozeman’s Filthy Family hip-hop crew, takes the top honor this year. Killit is undeniable on stage, slaying his beats with compelling verses. Hear them on “Stomping on the Devil’s Tail,” released in August.

Killit often performs with As the Crow Flies, spitting lyrics like a punk rocker and creating one hell of a local supergroup.

Your Choice Local Jazz Band

FIRST PLACE: Bridger Big Band SECOND PLACE: Swingley Jazz Project THIRD PLACE: Alex Robilotta/Bob Packwood and Mark Dixon Drummer Adam Greenberg is the brains behind The Bridger Mountain Big Band, which has been gracing Bozeman with jazz standards for years. You hear favorites from the likes of Duke Ellington and Ol’ Blue Eyes recreated by a stellar 17-piece band or rotating jazz cats each Sunday at 7pm at the Eagles and on rare swingin’ evenings when the Ellen takes out the chairs for dancing.

Your Choice Local Play

FIRST PLACE: DCYE: Live Radio Theatre SECOND PLACE: Twelve Angry Men THIRD PLACE: Next To Normal Don’t Close Your Eyes: Live Radio Theatre is not one play, but a whole series of hour-long originals by Ryan Cassavaugh and Keith Suta. A new play is performed weekly throughout the summer run, each in old-timey radio style with live sound effects. The brainchild of these kooky minds, each show is an adventure, whether or not that’s the day’s genre of choice. Check out the podcast to tune in whenever your heart desires.

Arts & Entertainment Your Choice Local Theatrical Production in the Past Year

FIRST PLACE: My Fair Lady SECOND PLACE: Oliver THIRD PLACE: Broad Comedy’s All New Show A collaboration between Montana Shakespeare in the Parks and Intermountain Opera Bozeman, “My Fair Lady” brought Lerner & Lowe’s classic musical adaptation to the street where we live. The production took a simple approach to poor flower girl Eliza Doolittle’s transformative tale, allowing the language of the script to shine. It was “loverly.”

Your Choice Local Visual Artist

Your Choice Local Rock Band

FIRST PLACE: Big Montana and the Swingin’ Ds SECOND PLACE: The Clintons THIRD PLACE: Cure For The Common Big Montana and the Swingin’ Ds will pull you in with the spandex and shark costume, but you definitely stay for the show. The band features musicians from other rock groups such as LIV and Modern Sons - gone wild. Full-on guitar solos, on-stage antics and hilariously irreverent rock tunes served Big Montana the Rock Band category this year.

Your Choice Local Solo Musician

FIRST PLACE: Joe Knapp SECOND PLACE: Dan Dubuque THIRD PLACE: Kyle Helm Better known as Slomo Joe, Joe Knapp is pretty much a brother to every musician and music lover around. One of the pros and Music Villa, see Joe in numerous bands and rockin’ Slomo Joe combinations, or catch his more mellow solo show, where he tends toward Americana. It doesn’t matter. Whatever he’s playing, you can’t help but love Joe.

Your Choice Local Stand-Up Comedian

FIRST PLACE: Ryan Cassavaugh SECOND PLACE: Jeff Strock THIRD PLACE: Bocephus Brown/Garrison Choitz Bozeman’s favorite funnyman doesn’t often hit the stage for stand-up, but we still get to see lots of him as the MC of Tales from the Verge and other events.

He tells stories which include general hilarity about such things as meeting the Wu-Tang Clan and starting a party clown business. He’s also known for his original plays, often written to be performed with life-sized puppets.

Your Choice Local Theatre Group

FIRST PLACE: Verge SECOND PLACE: Montana Shakespeare in the Parks THIRD PLACE: Broad Comedy We love Verge Theater for being a bit out there. The black box on Bozeman’s north side isn’t afraid of the tough subjects, of throwing puppets on the main stage or taking risks with staging. This year’s productions included “Row After Row,” the life treatise of a trio of civil war reenactors; “These Shining Lives,” which tackled working conditions through a story of radium poisoning; “Talking With,” a series of monologues by 11 women and a reprise of Ryan Cassavaugh’s original family comedy “Jimmy’s First Christmas on Parole.”

FIRST PLACE: Mimi Matsuda SECOND PLACE: DG House/Kara Tripp THIRD PLACE: John “Dizmal” Warren/Rachel Pohl Bears (or a T-Rex) on bikes, birds in fishing boats and a yak in a kayak are part of Mimi Matsuda’s Secret Lives of Animals series showcasing her amusing take on regional wildlife. We love Matsuda, a former park ranger naturalist, for her dedication to the world around her and ability to bring animals to life, in whimsical and realistic forms.

Your Choice Music Festival (local or regional)

FIRST PLACE: Moods of the Madison SECOND PLACE: Red Ants Pants THIRD PLACE: SLAM/Sweet Pea Moods of the Madison has a longstanding commitment to variety, hence the “moods” of the music. We love it for the diversity, with 2016’s festival featuring The Wailers (yes, the band that once backed Bob Marley), rockers Young the Giant and electronic DJ and producer Bassnectar. This year’s fest also pioneered the “silent disco” concept in the area, with dancing well into the night to music fed through wireless headphones.

Your Choice Musical Performance in the Past Year (touring or local)

FIRST PLACE: Beats Antique SECOND PLACE: KISS THIRD PLACE: Modern Sons This was definitely the show of the summer. Beats Antique’s “Shadowbox” tour hit an outdoor stage at Bridger Brewing with Indonesian puppetry, lanterns and special effects. The production elements elevated an already stellar group, combining Balkan and electronic elements with Zoe Jakes’ choreography and a crazy level of showmanship.

Your Choice New Local Band

FIRST PLACE: Sigmund SECOND PLACE: LIV THIRD PLACE: Yurt Founded in fall 2015, Sigmund has since found a place amongst Bozeman’s modern rock scene, with a moody atmospheric approach. The three-piece indie synth pop and rock band features Ray Jimenez on guitar and vocals, Dacotah Stordahl on synths and Spencer Curtis on drums. Hear why Sigmund is a new local favorite with the band’s first single, “Lonely Hunter.”

Your Choice Open Mic

FIRST PLACE: Haufbrau SECOND PLACE: Eagles THIRD PLACE: Wild Joe’s Coffee Shop The Haufbrau is the undercover gem in Bozeman’s music scene, a proud dive bar featuring live tunes every single night. Three of those nights each week, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, are open mics. Hit it right, and you can see Bozeman’s best bands testing new material or mind-blowing jam sessions. The Hauf has long been an incubator for local talent and deserves this title.

Your Choice Place For Live Music in the Gallatin Valley

FIRST PLACE: Filling Station SECOND PLACE: Zebra THIRD PLACE: Eagles Ballroom Sure, the Filling Station lost its full liquor license and can only serve beer and wine. There are still so many reasons to love it. For starters, you can’t beat the authentic roadhouse and local hangout for decor. Decades of memorabilia, license plates, beer cans, animal heads, signs of all sorts and off the wall art pieces clutter the wall. Touring bands love it, and so do we. And we haven’t even talked about the top-notch acts that have graced the stage!

Your Choice Public Art Installation (non-gallery)

FIRST PLACE: Library Sculpture Garden SECOND PLACE: CSG Power Box Wraps THIRD PLACE: Gallatin Art Crossing: Tortoise downtown Thanks to some dedicated locals, Bozeman’s downtown is teeming with art. You voted the sculpture garden behind the Bozeman Public Library as your favorite for its variety of modern and whimsical sculptures, such as the Gallatin Arts Crossing People’s Choice “Egghead” piece. But all your top picks are now part of the same arts advocacy group. You can find an interactive map with these installations and more at gallatinartcrossing.com.

Your Choice Touring Theatrical Production In The Past Year

FIRST PLACE: Shakespeare in the Parks SECOND PLACE: Broadway in Bozeman Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is pretty awesome. The Bozeman-based theater company tours the region each summer, bringinging free theater to communities large and very, very small. “Richard III” and “The Comedy of Errors” brought political relevance and laughs to thousands who do not otherwise get a chance to experience the arts. What’s not to love?

Your Favorite Local Author

FIRST PLACE: David Quammen SECOND PLACE: Kent Davis THIRD PLACE: Todd Wilkinson This year certainly belongs to Bozeman local and preeminent nature writer David Quammen, who became the only author to ever write a whole issue of National Geographic. The magazine was devoted solely to Yellowstone as a celebration of the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary and was expanded into a book to go along with many others on the author’s shelf, such as “Spillover” and “The Song of the Dodo.’

Chomping & Chugging Your Choice Picks For Food & Drink

ozemanites love food, that is evident in the wide variety of eateries constantly popping up around town. If you’re on the go, or in the mood to settle in for a while, there’s a place for you! Southern, Asian, Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, local, imported, vegan, organic…you name the category and there’s a place nearby where you can eat. But if there isn’t, tell us that too! We want to know what you love to eat, where you enjoy hanging out and what you think would be a great addition to the list!

Kind of Eatery/Bar We Most Need

FIRST PLACE: 24/7 diner SECOND PLACE: In and Out Burgers THIRD PLACE: Pho A city the size of Bozeman, which attracts tourists all year long, and hosts more than 10,000 students at MSU, should really have a 24/7 restaurant. A retro diner would be a hit in this trendy town, and a 24 hour drive thru Mexican American joint would also do well.

Your Choice All-around Dessert

FIRST PLACE: Granny’s Donuts SECOND PLACE: Wild Crumb THIRD PLACE: La Chatelaine Chocolate Granny’s Donuts takes the cake, oops...takes the donut, for Bozeman’s Choice All-Around Dessert for the 2nd year in a row! The “Granny’s Donuts Guy,” Robert McWilliams moved up to 2nd place in our Local Celebrity category as well.

Robert and his crew are always up for entertaining patrons as you enjoy their eclectic ambiance and delicious donuts.

Your Choice Appetizer (location and item)

FIRST PLACE: Bacchus Pub - Curry Fries SECOND PLACE: Korner Klub Buffs THIRD PLACE: Plonk’s Cheese Board You don’t need to fancy up the name to win Bozeman’s Choice Appetizer.

Curry fries are everything you’d expect and everything you need. The crispy french fries are drizzled in the Bacchus’ signature creamy curry sauce, which has a whole lot of flavor, but not a lot of heat. The curry fries are a little bit of heaven in an appetizer. But we wouldn’t fault you for wanting them with your burger or ordering a side of sauce for dunking.

Your Choice Asian Food

FIRST PLACE: Dave’s Sushi SECOND PLACE: Sweet Chili’s THIRD PLACE: Seven Dave’s Sushi takes over the top spot for Asian food with its commitment to freshness in the fish and the menu. Beyond adding to the selection of spectacular sushi rolls, a recently updated menu has appetizers like Tokyo Tacos, with wonton-wrapper shells and an ahi tuna poke topped with guacamole, and a ramen bowl with smoked pork belly and a poached egg. Finish it off with a rotating dessert selection or sake. Or both.

Your Choice Bakery

FIRST PLACE: Wild Crumb SECOND PLACE: Granny’s Donuts THIRD PLACE: Sweet Pea Bakery Warm up your taste buds at Wild Crumb, they make amazing breads, croissants, pastries, cookies, coffee and more leading them to be voted Bozeman’s Choice Bakery 2 years in a row!

And don’t forget the food is served until midnight. The Taproom is the new downtown hangout.

Your Choice Bar For Specialty Drinks

FIRST PLACE: Plonk SECOND PLACE: Copper THIRD PLACE: Open Range Plonk’s GFC is a longstanding Bozeman favorite, one of the signature drinks of a place more often associated with its extensive wine list. But the ginger and basil vodka concoction has competition on Plonk’s cocktail list featuring house infusions like a cucumber vodka, jalapeno tequila and kaffir-lime gin. They’re all served in a metropolitan setting.

Your Choice Barbecue

FIRST PLACE: Bar 3 BBQ SECOND PLACE: Willow Creek Cafe THIRD PLACE: Blue Smoke Barbeque/Moe’s BBQ Bar 3 BBQ is the best local place to get Barbecue (2 years in a row!), and you know it!

Served with a side of home fries and house-made ketchup, of course.

Blacksmith Italian uses all Montana flour and eggs, and you’ll never see a corporate food truck making deliveries because every item is locally or regionally sourced, then paired with wines from Italy. Voted Bozeman’s Choice Italian Food 2 years in a row!

Worst Pothole

FIRST PLACE: Northbound Rouse just before Oak SECOND PLACE: Cafe Zydeco Parking Lot THIRD PLACE: Stucky There is absolutely a need for updated infrastructure on many roadways in Bozeman, Rouse is in the works.

We still love last year’s winning answer, The Haufbrau.

Your Choice Museum/Historic Site

FIRST PLACE: Museum of the Rockies SECOND PLACE: The Emerson THIRD PLACE: Story Mansion The Museum of the Rockies is our most famous and absolutely wonderful Bozeman museum and historical site, even the big city folks give it props when they visit.

Here & There Your Choice Place for People Watching

FIRST PLACE: Music on Main SECOND PLACE: Downtown THIRD PLACE: Wal-Mart The voters nailed this question.

You never know what or who you may see at this Downtown Bozeman event!

Your Choice Place That’s Open 24 Hours

FIRST PLACE: Perkins SECOND PLACE: Town Pump THIRD PLACE: Wal-Mart In the winter Perkins is open 6am-11pm daily, but in the spring in summer they are open 24 hours on the weekends. It’s always good to know where to get some grub after a long night, late shift or for a midnight snack!

Your Choice Place To Impress Out-of-town Guests

Wal Mart has been called a “necessary evil” by many, it is avoided by the rest I guess.

Your Choice Public Park

FIRST PLACE: Lindley Park SECOND PLACE: Dinosaur Park THIRD PLACE: Bogert Park Lindley is definitely a winner in our book, especially when it comes to varied use, with large open spaces surrounded by tall trees. Lindley boats direct access to the Gallagator Trail, with connectivity to the cemetery, library and sculpture park. Come to play, picnic, sled, cross-country ski or bird watch, or for the beloved Sweet Pea Festival each August.

Your Choice Regional Historic Site

FIRST PLACE: Virginia City SECOND PLACE: The Baxter/Butte THIRD PLACE: Bannack St Park/Buffalo Jump The original capital of the Montana Territory, Virginia City is a well preserved ghost town frozen in time and place.

Biggest Thing Bozeman Should Make Happen Soon

Most Memorable Event In The Past Year

FIRST PLACE: Affordable Housing SECOND PLACE: Sustainable, Healthy Urban Growth THIRD PLACE: Indoor Sports Park/Bowling/Skating The long suffering challenge of affordable housing comes to the top of our Reader Poll for the 2nd year in a row. Bozeman has been discovered, sorry, affordable housing probably isn’t in our near future. The real question is what is affordable?

You may remember the music, the food, the kids activities, or that you’re likely to run into pretty much everyone you’ve ever known in Bozeman. It’s that kind of event.

Most Bizarre Local News Story in the Past Year

Most Overrated Thing In or About the Valley

FIRST PLACE: Yellowstone officials kill bison calf that was put in car SECOND PLACE: Man survives two attacks by bear THIRD PLACE: Man dies after falling into hot spring at Yellowstone On May 9, two Yellowstone tourists thought a baby bison looked cold so they put it in the back of their SUV and drove it to a ranger station. Bad idea. Those bison are wild animals with heavy (and warm) fur coats. In this case, rangers were unable to reunite the calf with its herd after the somewhat well-intentioned car ride and it was euthanized. Best leave the animals alone.

FIRST PLACE: Music on Main SECOND PLACE: Plonk THIRD PLACE: Dogs Music on Main was also voted Most Memorable Event and Best Place for People Watching, but truth is, not everyone remembers it. An event that was once a celebration of music has become a reason for many to party in the streets. And they party hard. The drunken debauchery is a concern for some downtown business owners and is a big reason some people steer clear.

Bozeman’s Choice: Regional Historic Site A Walk Back in Time: Explore Montana’s Gold Rush Towns

by Sarah Cairoli

W

hen the residents of Bannack elected Henry Plummer to the position of Sheriff in May 1863, they knew virtually nothing about him. They did not know that he had been convicted of murder and done time in San Quentin prison. They did not know that he led a band of outlaws through Idaho gold fields where they robbed and murdered miners. They did not know these outlaws followed him to Montana’s first gold rush town, their town.

And, they did not know that he had reorganized this motley group of villains into a gang he named “The Innocents.”

For six months after his election, The Innocents terrorized Bannack and nearby Virginia City, murdering and robbing miners and citizens. As sheriff, Plummer had inside information regarding gold shipments, which he passed along to his gang of road agents. The Innocents always evaded capture because Plummer wasn’t actually trying to catch them.

Frustrated citizens formed a vigilante group to capture Plummer and his gang in December 1863.

By early January, the vigilantes arrested Plummer and some of his henchmen. Although Plummer begged for his life, he was hanged on gallows that still stand outside of Bannack.

Bannack, MT

Many of the buildings that lined Bannack’s main street when Plummer was sheriff still exist today. The gallows stand on a hillside overlooking town, and the saloon where Plummer and his gang did their dirty work sits next to the Hotel Meade.

Interpretive signs lining the saloon walls describe Plummer’s life and just how dangerous the town of Bannack had been, especially after dark. Like the saloon, most of Bannack’s buildings are open to the public.

Walking up the curved staircase of the Hotel Meade, visitors get a sense of just how grand the

hotel once was. Most of the buildings are empty.

Old wallpaper peels from the walls, revealing old boxes and newspaper that acted as insulation.

Historic remnants pepper the town and give visitors an idea of what life might have been like in this Wild West town. The bravest visitors will want to explore the Bessette House, which is rumored to be haunted by those who died while the house was used to quarantine the ill during the early twentieth century.

Kids can try an antique merry-go-round in the schoolyard, and then enter the building to sit in old desks. There is usually a lesson that would have been typical of the late 1800s written on the board. Are you smarter than a fifth grader from 1877?

Visiting Bannack is free for Montana residents. Others must pay a minimal parking fee. The Visitor’s Center sells an interpretive booklet for $2 that thoroughly describes the town’s history. Free tours run every day as well. Two campgrounds line Grasshopper Creek at the entrance to town.

Bannack Days takes place on the third weekend of July. During this event, this ghost town comes alive. Breakfast is served every day in the Hotel Meade. People dressed in costume will be demonstrating how to quilt, spin wool, craft baskets, and make wheels. Visitors will get the chance to dip candles, pan for gold, and shoot a black powder rifle. Be on your guard because a stagecoach always comes to town during Bannack Days, and just like Bannack’s residents in the 1860s, you never know when a gunfight might break out.

Virginia City, MT

Upon leaving Bannack, head through Dillon and take MT-41 toward Twin Bridges. This route will take you to MT-287 and then south to Virginia City, another of Montana’s famous gold rush towns. Citizens from Virginia City and Bannack worked together to form the vigilante group that brought down Henry Plummer and The Innocents.

On May 26, 1863, two prospectors, Bill Fairweather and Henry Edgar left Bannack for VC and discovered gold near Alder Creek. They didn’t keep the claim secret for long, and were followed on their return to the gold bearing site. A mining district was quickly set up in order to formulate rules about individual gold claims.

Today history is alive an well in Virginia City.

Visitors can have a bite at one of several restaurants or the famous Virginia City Creamery ice cream shop. Taffy is pulled every day in Cousin’s Candy Shop, where baskets of candy line the walls from floor to ceiling. Two museums provide detailed descriptions of the area’s mining history; one even contains the club foot of Plummer’s gang member, Clubfoot George Lane. The Virginia City Players and Brewery Follies provide nightly entertainment.

Unlike Bannack, the old buildings in Virginia City are not open to the public. However, many of these buildings contain historic artifacts that can be seen through the windows. Tours of the city are available by stagecoach or 1941 fire engine. A train

also runs between Virginia City and Nevada City, sister city and the other half of the“Richest Gold Strikes in the Rocky Mountain West”.

The buildings in Nevada City have been preserved as a living history museum. As you wander the paths between buildings, you are likely to see blacksmiths making horseshoes, women spinning wool and sewing, and a sheriff making sure everyone stays in line. Nevada City is also home to one of the world’s largest collections of calliopes, many of which still play if fed a few quarters.

On the Trail

- Planning your Next Visit Kids and adults will thoroughly enjoy a trip back in time to Montana’s famous gold rush ghost towns. From Bozeman, it takes just over two hours to reach Bannack and only about an hour to reach Virginia City.

To get to Bannack, take I-90 west to Whitehall; then head south on MT-55 toward Twin Bridges and Dillon. Bring your fly rod! Near Twin Bridges, the Beaverhead, Big Hole, and Ruby Rivers converge to form the Jefferson River. This route to Dillon is also along the Lewis & Clark trail, so several interpretive stops dot the highway and explain the explorers’ journey.

The route between Virginia City and Bozeman will take you past Ennis Lake, an excellent place to camp for an evening. The Madison River also provides excellent fishing and floating opportunities.

If you want to fish, avoid the river between the Warm Springs fishing access and Black’s Ford. This stretch of river is a popular place to float in inner tubes, so anglers stand a better chance of catching a person than a fish. c Sarah Cairoli is a local writer, tutor, and mother who has been enjoying all Bozeman has to offer for the past decade.

Sun Sign Horoscopes January 2017 Aries: Saturn and Mars square off from the 18th through the 24th indicating you will be busy without a lot of spare time. There are no easy short cuts, the best to do is hunker down and focus. Privacy is at a premium so enjoy it when you can get it.

Libra: You always keep things in balance, but January seems tailored made for you, friend Libra.

Jupiter spends the month in your sign, giving you lots of energy and strong long term connections.

Wait until after the 6th for financial negotiations.

Taurus: Venus is all wrapped up in Pisces this month so mixed signals and unexpected romantic results could be at hand. You are an earth sign so you know when it is time to double check finances.

If looking for a new job, interview on the 6th or 12th

Scorpio: With so much activity in the skies your are sure to have a great month. Venus in Pisces is combining with Mars to heat up romance – new or old. Money or things of value could be lost on the 12th, 15th or 16th; keep track of your wallet.

Gemini: Get anything involving partnership settled before the 12th for best effect. Joint finances are featured, was it you or your partner who overspent for the holiday? Whomever it was, focus on solving the problem, not playing the name game.

Sagittarius: You will still need to keep track of the invitations coming your way as the New Year begins. The Sun in Capricorn shines some bright energy on your personal finances – you should be feeling good about them, if not it is time to reassess.

Cancer: You may want to crawl into your shell and hide from the world, but be careful to make sure that you are not cutting yourself off from what can heal you. You may want to leave yourself with some quick getaway plans for peace of mind this month.

Capricorn: Work matters seem to be going very well. Jupiter’s generosity in your house of career has led to a great few months.

But, has career success been at the expense of family matters? Now is the time to bring career and family into balance.

Leo: A conversation with an authority figure on the 10th or 11th could become heated quickly.

Be willing to take a step back and bite your tongue a minute or two – it could mean the difference of whether you have a job or not on the 12th.

Aquarius: The New Year starts off with a bang for you Aquarius! The Mars and Neptune interaction has emotions running high for a new love or deepening of an existing relationship. Emotions hold center stage for you on the 12th as well.

Virgo: The Full Moon will have you ready to spend some quiet time with your sweetie. Just let friends and family know so they do not get the wrong impression about your disappearance. Wait until after the 15th for best results in new love.

Pisces: You will have no problem finding time to relax and recuperate after the holiday fun! Mars, Neptune, Venus and the Moon all spend time in your sign early in the month, giving you plenty of protective energy – relax and enjoy.

ing Arts Center, 45465 Gallatin Road, Gallatin Gateway ^ $15/$25 ^ 406-9956345 ^ www.warrenmillerpac.org Born of African-Caribbean descent in Québec, Kaia Kater grew up between two worlds: one her family’s deep ties to Canadian folk music in her Toronto home; the other the years she spent learning and studying Appalachian music in West Virginia. Her new album, Nine Pin, delves even further, and casts an unflinching eye at the realities faced by people of color in North America every day. Her songs are fueled by her rich low tenor vocals, jazz-influenced instrumentation, and beautifully understated banjo, and they’ve got as much in common with Kendrick Lamar right now as they do with Pete Seeger.
