This might be the most "Montana" festival we've ever heard of, and it's happening June 23rd through 25th. Celebrating ranching and land stewardship, the weekend will be packed with Americana music, expert guest speakers, vendors, and chef curated wood-fired food in Helmville, Montana.

Cooper, was born Frank James Cooper in Helena back in May of 1901. His parents came from England and had settled here in Montana.
