Pickups, horse trailers, and campers jostled for room at the Polson Fairgrounds when the Indian National Finals Rodeo Flathead River Tour Rodeo came to town Aug. 24-26.

Inside the big tent on the Polson Fairgrounds Friday night, a sea of western hats and decked-out ladies ebbed and flowed around the dining tables into groups of friends, three silent auction “corrals,” two no-host bars catered by the Perfect Shot Tavern, and the live auction items. It was the 31st annual Cowboy Ball banquet and auction held by Polson Fairgrounds, Inc.
