Mark your calendars folks. It’s time for the Conrad Chamber of Commerce’s Harvest Festival set for Oct. 14 right on Main Street.
Promised to be a gala affair, what could be better than lots of food and fun? That’s what you’ll find at the Beef and Bison Cook-Off which begins at 2 p.m. on Main Street. And according to Chamber Manager Shari Richter, it’s not too late to enter your favorite recipe. Just give her a call at 271-7791.
The winner of the event will be presented a “Traveling Trophy” for display in their home or business as well as walking away with a $75 gift certificate.
The art and craft vendors will be set up on the Pondera County Courthouse lawn and there is still space available.
Pie anyone? Sign up for the pie-eating contest to be held in front of Olson’s Drug at 4 p.m. Or you can play a game of “Cow-Pie Bingo” at Courtesy Ford beginning at 4:30. And as they say on TV, “Wait, there’s more,” you can buy a raffle ticket and win a trip to the National Finals Rodeo, which is held in “Sin City.” That’s Las Vegas to those who are not familiar with the nick­name.
Then there is the always-popular 50/50 tickets being sold during the day and live entertainment will be heard from the parking lot of the Conrad Transportation and Histori­cal Museum.
In addition, the museum will be open for you to take one last look at the Smithsonian Exhibit, Key In­gredients: America by Food. And for your dining enjoyment, the mu­seum will be serving Polish dogs, hot dogs, German potato salad, cookies and drinks for a nominal fee beginning at 6 p.m.
Now comes the finale. The win­ner of the Beef and Bison Cook-off will be crowned along with the 50/50 winner and who the lucky person will be heading to Las Vegas for the National Fi­nals Rodeo. This will all happen at 6:30.
If you are still interested in par­ticipating in any part of this excit­ing festival, give the Chamber a call at 271-7791.
