2026 BCHMT State Convention: Historic Trails and Campfire Tales
Hosted by Gallatin Valley Back Country Horsemen
The time is fast approaching for the next State Convention to be held in Bozeman Montana on March 27 – 29, 2026 at The Best Western GranTree Hotel. In addition to our general meetings, there will be a photo contest, chapter displays, breakout sessions and vendors for shopping. On Friday there will be some cross-cut demos and/or practice, as well as time to enjoy live music and socializing. Saturday afternoon after breakout sessions the crosscut saw competition will take place. The evening banquet will be a great meal, followed by a live auction. We plan to fill the Atrium area with vendors, so come ready to do a little shopping.
RAFFLE TICKETS were sent out with chapter delegates in December so everyone will have plenty of time to sell during the holidays and beyond. (Let Molly Glenn: know if you need more). They make great stocking stuffers…
LODGING–early reservations are advised as Bozeman has become a busy place all year round. Blocks of rooms have been reserved at the following locations:
All three of these hotels practically share the same parking lot. The Days Inn and Field and Stream Lodge are on either side of The GranTree. The fairground is a short walk or ride from about a block away.
MEALS— The full registrations will include Saturday lunch, Saturday banquet meal, and Sunday breakfast. If you have a guest with you who is not a delegate or convention attendee, you can purchase the banquet meal(s) separately. It is offered for purchase separately on your registration form.
In your registration packet we will include several coupons/discount cards for local businesses and restaurants. Please take advantage of these as many are loyal supporters of our Chapter and our service projects.
Thank you for signing up for the BCHMT Convention 2026! Please register and book your rooms early so you don’t miss out on special pricing for lodging and registration. Early Registration ends on March 1st. We look forward to seeing you all in March for another exciting convention!
