Talent Show Returning For Stampede Week

A tradition is coming back to the community during Wolf Point’s Wild Horse Stampede time this summer.

After the Colgate Country Showdown attracted crowds for years, such a talent show hasn’t been offered during the last few years. Three local women agreed it was time to have a similar type of talent show again during Stampede.

Clyta Dillon, Helen Welte and Cassandra Solberg decided to approach the Wolf Point Chamber of Commerce and Stampede committee for their thoughts of offering such a display of local talent. Dillon said each group gave their blessings.

The result is that the Wolf Point Stampede Talent Contest is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, at Bill Henry legion baseball field. In case of poor weather, the event will be moved to the Elks Lodge.

Dillon said the business community has been very supportive about providing financial assistance for cash prizes.

“We just want to entertain our community during Stampede week,” Dillon explained.

The primary goal right now is to have contestants and volunteer judges step up. To register or for more information, contact Dillon at dillon8v@gmail.com or 406-3991575.

The entertainment provided could include singers, dancers, comedians, magicians or dramatic performances.

“We will have over $2,000 in cash prizes,” Dillon said.
