1967
On Sunday, Aug. 13, 1967, exactly 50 years ago today, excitement was reaching a fever pitch as the Flathead Valley awaited the start of the Northwest Montana Fair and Rodeo. The Daily Inter Lake, then as now, played an important role in recording the fair from beginjning to end. Today, we present a sampling of images from that week, mostly taken by photographer Rick Prestbye. If you have memories of the 1967 fair, send them to edit@dailyinterlake.com.
