‘Best of Bozeman’ victors offer a little something for everyone Recently wrapping its 2019 survey, locals can get out and enjoy their Best of Bozeman winners. There were quite a few close calls this year (and some resulting deliberation among voters), but the annual contest is all in good fun and The BoZone congratulates all those who claimed victory. Here’s a look at just a few of the area favorites.
Aside from outdoor recreation, one of Southwest Montana’s biggest draws is live music. Pop on 91.9 KGLT while you’re on the way to a show or other summer activity. Winners of Best Radio Station, the listener-supported frequency provides an alternative to conventional radio by offering commercial-free programming with a staff of community volunteers playing music in a format-free environment. Tune in!
With its Living History Farm now open for the sunny season, make a point to visit the Museum of the Rockies in the coming months. MOR was voted Best Place for Family Fun and Best Place for Kids’ Activities for another year. The Museum is known far and wide for its intricate dinosaur complex and planetarium shows, but also features rotating exhibitions to keep things fascinatingly fresh. “The Real Genghis Khan,” its newest exhibit, delivers residents and visitors to 13th-century Mongolia where they’re able to explore the culture, conquests, and heritage of one of the world’s greatest conquerors.
Treasures fit for dynasties of the past are yours to discover at Miller’s Jewelry, the Best Place to Buy Jewelry. They specialize in Montana Sapphires and are also known for their extensive selection of wedding rings and loose diamonds, as well as the best estate jewelry in the state. You don’t have to be royalty to get your hands on an irreplaceable keepsake!
Bozemanites are sometimes known to bend the knee to their four-legged family members. Dee-O-Gee, Montana’s first and finest natural pet store, scooped up repeat wins for Best Pet Groomer and Best Place for Pet Supplies. They provide a variety of pet nutrition products, services, supplements, toys, treats and gear for your family’s most loyal at two Bozeman locations.
If the ole rig has succumbed to wear and tear courtesy of inconsiderate but oh-so-lovable pups, it may be time to start thinking about a new ride from Best Car Dealer Ressler Motors. The lot is full of the latest Toyota, Scion, Chevrolet and Cadillac models, as well as used options. Ressler also won Best Automotive Repair. Remember to buy some seat covers this time around!
Of equal importance is self-care – one can’t be expected to tend to business if they’re not first taking care of themselves! Getting fit doesn’t have to be a solo undertaking at The Ridge Athletic Club, reigning champion of Best Gym / Fitness Center. With Downtown Bozeman and Fallon Avenue locations, members have daily access to the support and resources of a community committed to healthy lifestyles.
If finding serenity is more what you’re after, book a session with Best Yoga Studio Ekam Yoga. Designed with the student in mind, the downtown studio offers a variety of classes led by practitioners who combine humility and deep experience in a supportive environment.
