Thought I would share an activity my whole family took part in this past Sunday. We took a pretty long drive to Utica & Hobson, Montana for the "What the Hay" hale bale art contest.
The scenery around us were the Belt Mountains, wheat fields a plenty, and hay bales everywhere. Also, there were horses and livestock to be seen. My husband said he even spotted some elk in the fields. Wynston kept pointing out the many bee houses in the fields also to keep his younger brother excited (scared is a better word).
There's no shortage of creativity in the 20-year-old annual What the Hay contest. Entries from recent years include, Yosemit-Hay Sam, Osc-hay-r the Grouch, St-hay-te Rivals, En-Hay-Gizer Bunny and Grizzly B-hay-R. (TRIBUNE FILE PHOTOS)
This being our first time to participate in the drive through of this art exhibition, we noticed a lot of political opinions were expressed. Also, as shown here some reality t.v. was the inspiration for some hay bale art entries.
I wished I had been able to get some other pictures, but the traffic was pretty busy and the paper reports that some people stopped counting cars after 1000 early in the day. That is quite a turnout for these two small towns of probably a little over 1000 people total in them.
