Celebrate the Huckleberry in Montana

By Linda Tancs

In Trout Creek, Montana, the huckleberry–that purple berry resembling a blueberry–reigns supreme.  So much so, in fact, that the legislature proclaimed Trout Creek the huckleberry capital of the State.  This small northwestern town is proud to celebrate their prized bounty each year with a Huckleberry Festival.  That means, of course, you can sample the huckleberry in every food imaginable, like ice cream cones, pizza, cheesecake, hot dogs and pancakes.  Far from just another food fest, the annual event includes such activities as a 5K run, dancing under the stars, karaoke, dog agility demonstration, a pageant, an auction, children’s activities, a horseshoe contest, and an interfaith worship service.  Don’t miss the fun between 12 and 14 August.
