DILLON, Mont. – Montana Range Days is set to take place this year June 21-23 in Beaverhead County. Originated in 1977, Montana Range Days is the state’s premier rangeland education event, consisting of educational workshops, tours, and contests. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancelation of Montana Range Days last year, so event planners this year are going above and beyond.
