Rendezvous 2018: April 27, 28, and 29

This is the 40th anniversary of Rendezvous and thus a very special year. The annual three-day festival is one of the largest events in Northwestern Montana and has a rich history.

Four decades ago, three friends Doc Andy Ivy, Jerry Sythe, and Bill Larson decided that Eureka needed an end-of-the-winter celebration and that it should have a huge Friday kick-off. That Friday kick-off became legendary for getting bigger and more boisterous every year.

There was food, a bathtub full of ice and beer, and live music. Hazel Ivy led a group of ladies, costumed to the hilt, in different dance routines for a number of years. They dazzled the crowd as the Honolulu Lulu's and Helga's Hags, to name a couple. Hazel says that "it was so much fun and we tried to add a little twist to it every year!"

Rendezvous started at Jerry's Saloon, moved to Ted's Body Shop for a while, went to the Fairgrounds, and then the Arena.

Saturday started with a 5k run, breakfast, and a parade (of which the bed races were part).

Craft vendors didn't show up for about 15 years, but there were a lot of fun-filled contests such as the tug-o-truck, chicken bingo (you bet on which square the chicken will poop), and 24 races (with 24's strapped to your feet). One of the banks held a townwide scavenger hunt for the kids.

Rendezvous was and continues to be quite the scene.
