Bozeman, Montana is a quickly growing town that still maintains a small town feel. Nestled in the heart of the Gallatin Valley, Bozeman is surrounded by soaring mountains, numerous rivers, vast open landscape and of course, the Big Sky.
I have lived in Bozeman on and off since 1973. As a kid I loved riding my horses through the mountain trails, my bike along the gravel roads and cruising up and down main street visiting Western Drug or Crazy Daze.
After graduating high school I moved away for college and several years past that. I returned in 1998 because I could think of no better place to raise my two children. Since moving back I have enjoyed the same wonderful events that wowed me as a kid. The Sweet Pea Festival, Music on Main, The Montana State Bobcats, floating the Madison, hiking through Hylite and skiing Bridger Bowl and Big Sky (and now Moonlight Basin!) just to name a few. There are new ones, too, that are just as enjoyable such as The Christmas Stroll, Hawthorne's Celebration of the Arts and the Broadway Series. And of course, I still love Western Drug and Crazy Daze!
Bozeman has grown and changed but all in a good way. Our economy is strong with low unemployment, housing is still affordable (although you can spend a lot, too, if you want), and the old town charm is still intact. We have the best of both worlds in Bozeman. Great restaurants, lots of entertainment and cultural events coincide with the mud bogs at the Summer County Fair and a good ole down home rodeo can be found every weekend in the summer. We get to hike the mountains or fish the streams or bike the trails within minutes of leaving our homes.
I feel very fortunate to be able to call Bozeman my home.
