Lone Butte was the place to be July 9 as the Lone Butte-Horse Lake Community Association hosted Lone Butte Rocks for the first time since 2019.

The theme for this year was an old-fashioned fair and it had everything. Games, music, food, animals, craft sale and more.

Jenny Bakken was a hit with her roping demonstration for kids. A range of age groups took turns trying to rope straw bale steers. They soon discovered it is not as easy as it looks.

Also on hand, demonstrating the proper way to fly fish, was Ray Ford and his hand-crafted flies. It was very interesting to watch.

The Lone Butte Historical Association, in the meantime, had its own activities happening at the Water Tower Park. The annual garage sale, live music, shooting gallery, music, food, entertainment and more.

Even the weather cooperated. All in all a good weekend was had by everyone.
