Bear Creek Saloon Pig Races
After owning the Bear Creek Saloon for six years owners Pits and Lynn DeArmond watched as the Yellowstone fires of 1988 brought a fall in business to the joint. They quickly tried to come up with ideas to increase their clientele. Pig races became the answer. After a long struggle with the State Board of Horse Racing, a pig racing bill was passed, legalizing pig races to be used as fundraisers in Red Lodge, Montana.
Today you can enjoy a cold beer and a large steak dinner at Bear Creek Saloon followed by one of their famous pig races. You can sit back and watch or jump up and down as the piggy your betting on crosses the line first. The saloon is open at 5pm from Thursdays through Sundays, during summer months only. All moneys raised at the event are donated toward local scholarships for students in Carbon County. Bear Creek Saloon and Pig Races are located on Highway 308, seven miles east of Red Lodge, Montana.
