Not sure where you can find them for this year, but the Montana State Society at least used to put on their annual Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival, AKA “Testy Fest”, every June. All you can eat Rocky Mountain oysters and all you can drink beer and Crown Royal.

Testy Fest is perhaps my favorite name for a thing ever. Well done Montana State Society.

My wife is out right now with her former colleagues from Max Baucus’ office. I asked her to see if anyone knows if Testy Fest is gone forever.

I can to suggest the same thing.

Papa Chubbs has gone with some Montana natives a few time and has had fun.

I went once and had a good time. I found the Rocky Mountain oysters unpleasant, but bottomless beer and Crown made up for it. The band was good, and the people fun. That said, I likely won’t go again unless someone else suggests it, because, again, turns out I really dislike Rocky Mountain oysters.

I came across that in my search but doesn’t seem like they’ve had it in the past few years. A shame because it’s sounds so fun!

Gee, us North Carolinians just have an assload of barbecue catered by whatever legit NC place is willing to drive 5 hours up 95.
