Steins up! Big Sky Oktoberfest began yesterday with beer, bratwurst and a steinholding competition—a classic Bavarian contest of strength where competitors hold up a full one-liter beer stein in front of them with a straight arm for as long as they can. Last night’s first winner, Jack, kept his stein aloft for over four minutes to secure victory.
Festivities continue today and tomorrow at Big Sky Town Center, raising money for youth sports in Big Sky.

Pearl Jam played the Washington-Grizzly stadium in Missoula on Thursday, and they came with a purpose.
The iconic rock and roll group partnered with four nonprofits to register voters at Our Village, a free community festival outside the stadium, before the show, and they shouted out Sen. Jon Tester on stage ahead of the November election.
