Springhill Pavilion

My niece, Laura, got married here about 15 years ago.  I attended the wedding, wanted to show it to Trish.  It's a 1/2 hour drive north of Bozeman, MT.


The 'new addition' was built in 1907; the original structure dates back to the 1870s.


Inside the pavilion.  Scenes from The Horse Whisperer were filmed here.  It's heated by two wood stoves.  It was cold on wedding day, had my shoes off and feet against the stove for awhile - and a large glass of Moose Drool in my hand.


Artie on stage at the other end of the pavilion.  The guys (Bret (groom), Matt (Laura's brother) and a couple others did the Village People song, YMCA, on this stage.  The song had some special meaning to the newlyweds I think.


Chum, the 80ish owner, and his dog, Zeus.  Chum is a delightful guy, very welcoming, told us lots about area history - with a generous helping of BS thrown in.


Inside the men's 'restroom'.  It's a 2-holer, as is the ladies' facility.
