From Fort Benton to Firearms, April 19th is Locked and Loaded

April 19: come for the pork, stay for the firepower—Missoula’s hottest upcoming event isn’t just about barbecue….

If you’re thinking April 19th is just another spring Saturday, think again. Back in the day, Fort Benton earned its place on Montana license plate #19—but this weekend, Missoula is claiming the spotlight in a big way.

If you’re wondering why, it’s because MTSFW’s 15th Annual Pig Roast Banquet & Fundraiser is going down at the Missoula County Fairgrounds, and it’s bringing the heat—BBQ-style and ballistic. Twenty-three firearms are ready to be won, and no, they’re not just sitting pretty on a table. They’re up for grabs, and someone’s walking away with more than a full belly.
