Welcome to Montana's Russell Country

 

20th Annual Montana State Chokecherry Festival

The Chokecherry, a small, maroon-colored fruit with a puckery taste that grows wild in Montana, will reign supreme on the first Saturday after Labor Day. It's a time of wholesome fun for everyone from tiny tykes to Grandpa.

Growing in popularity each year, the Chokecherry festival is attended by close to 3,000 people. The day starts with the Kiwanis Club serving an outdoor breakfast at Main Street and Second Avenue. On the menu is pancakes, served with -- what - else -- Chokecherry Syrup.

From a Chokecherry pit-spitting contest to art & craft booths (over 160 in 2007), a 5k and 1 mile run/walk. Chokecherry culinary contest, children activities, free entertainment, the day is literally packed with fun things to do. Also included is a classic car show.

The annual Montana Chokecherry Festival is sponsored by the Lewistown Area Chamber of Commerce. For further information call 535-5436.
