Video Shares Some Hilarious ‘Facts’ About Montana on 406 Day
Today we celebrate the Treasure State. Today is 4/06 a.k.a Montana Day. So what can we do to celebrate? How about taking a drive and exploring places of this great state that you may have taken for granted? Maybe grill a steak from one of the millions of cattle Montana raises. Eat wheat bread made from the thousands of acres of wheat Montana grows. Raise a glass of beer and toast to the barley and hops grown right here in Montana. Or maybe go get a scoop of Huckleberry ice cream.
When you think about Montana, what other things come to mind?
According to Wikipedia
The name Montana comes from the Spanish word montaña, which in turn comes from the Latin word montanea, meaning "mountain" or more broadly "mountainous country". Montaña del Norte was the name given by early Spanish explorers to the entire mountainous region of the west.
