What the Hay?

Hay ya’ll, how the hay have you been?  What the hay, you say?  Why all the hay talk?  Every year in Montana, there is the Montana Bale Trail it’s,  a 21 mile stretch between Windham and Hobson, a place of hay.  Actually it’s a contest, a hay building/sculptor contest.

Yep, that’s right, here in Montana for entertainment people make hay displays.  Believe it or not, people drive way out of their way to visit the trail and vote on the best one.  After 3 years in Montana I felt it was time to do like the Romans Montanans, we hit the hay trail.

Just for your edification, here are the winners selected by the view-hay-ers:

    Hahahahaha the wool-hay mamoth is quite possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m surprised I’ve never heard of these hay things before since I used to live in a very…rural town.
