MONTANA FAIR - 1941


Three-thousand people fled a fire that destroyed the grandstands at the Western Montana Fair in Missoula on Aug. 21, 1941.

The fire also destroyed a livestock building, automobiles and "the tepee village of the Flathead Indian tribe," the United Press reported.

Horses and other livestock were cut loose and trotted away with the rest of the crowd.
