  • Home Improvement: What's Old is New Again

    Sep 21, 2016

    (BPT) - Fall is a popular time for home improvement as people think about impressing their guests during the holidays. It is also a time for change, which makes the current trends in home décor so unique. Simply put, what's old is new again. Homeowners are gravitating to classic and timeworn elements to give their home a traditional feel. Character is not something with which every home is born. Newer construction often sacrifices some of the charm or detail of older home styles that can be...

  • Everything Must Come Together to Make a Clean Shot

    Meagan Dotson|Aug 31, 2016

    It was bow hunting season a few years ago when Ryan Dempsey, who's been bow hunting all his life, went out with his friends in hopes of bringing home an elk. The three of them had been watching a 6x6 bull elk come through the same coulee for two or three days, however, they were preoccupied with another, bigger, bull elk, and so Dempsey decided that the smaller of the two would be a good fall back. As the hunt continued over the next few days, the elk they'd been tracking was spooked by another...

  • Sage Grouse Hunting Open Again in Montana for Month of September

    Aug 31, 2016

    Expanded opportunities for sage grouse hunting will be offered this year in Montana as bird populations have rebounded well after two years of favorable spring weather conditions.

"These...

    Jul 27, 2016

    For many people, Thursday’s Co-Op Day at the Fair entails a momentary stop at the sponsor tent for a complimentary root beer float- and an equally hasty return to other Fair-afternoon happenings. However, this day has more behind it than simply a free cooldown for fairgoers.

  • Enjoy Family Vacation Fun

    Meagan Dotson|Jun 15, 2016

    Last summer I planned a trip to neighboring North Dakota and honestly felt a bit ashamed of myself for not having an adventure in this legendary state sooner. Better late than never I suppose, but I can say it was one of our best vacations and we will be returning to do some camping this summer. We spent part of our first day in Medora, checking out the unique little tourist town, filling up on delicious food, and doing a little shopping. This is home to the well-known Medora Musical and...

  • Why Attic to Bonus Room Conversions are Tops When It Comes to Useful Home Improvements

    Apr 27, 2016

    (BPT) - Open floor plans, mini-mansions, micro homes - some home design styles and elements shift with the currents of consumer tastes. However, others stand the test of time because they're enduringly useful. Attics or lofts, for example, are a staple of American home design, remaining in demand even as the way we use them has evolved. In bygone eras, attics served largely as storage space - but those were the days before the growth of the self-storage industry. Modern homeowners can stash...

  • How to Pick Flowers

    Meagan Dotson|Apr 27, 2016

    To say that I am an amateur gardener is to be very generous with the term; really, I just like to play in the dirt and see if something beautiful comes of it. Gardening is a hobby that anyone can enjoy in some form regardless of money, time, or space. Herb garden on your windowsill anyone? My main project this year is a recently added 24' x 8' flower bed on the east side of our house; the size was, in part, to accommodate three miniature lilac bushes that had to be transplanted. So now I am...
