Missoula Weekend Guide: Sept. 12

Here's your weekend guide to Missoula (September 11-14).

Note: Recurring events include the downtown farmers' markets Downtown ToNight and Summer Jazz Night every Friday.

Top 25 Showdown at Washington-Grizzly Stadium

The #5 Montana Grizzlies welcome in the #16 North Dakota Fighting Hawks for a top 25 showdown at Wa-Griz this Saturday at 1 pm.

Montana enters Saturday's matchup 1-0 after a 42-17 victory over D2's Central Washington. This will be the first REAL test of the year for the Griz.

North Dakota is 1-1 after annihilating Portland State last week and suffering a heartbreaking loss in the final minute against Kansas State back in week 1.

It's Military Appreciation Day, so break out the red, white, and blue for the game.

Cornhole for Conservation

"Celebrate with Ecology Project International!" Friday night at Caras Park from 5 to 8 pm, Ecology Project International hosts their 25th anniversary celebration with a "lively" cornhole tournament to raise funds for conservation.

On top of cornhole, you can bid on a silent auction, stuff your face with great food trucks, music, and prizes for the best dressed.

They're asking you to dress in your best "Field Fancy outfits." Aim for a "field scientist attending prom."

The event is open to the public.
