Greg Tillotson — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:46:56 +0000

From Billings To Hollywood To Cannes Film Festival

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:59:37 +0000

When I first arrived in Billings last November, the town was “a buzz” about a movie being filmed in town. It’s always exciting when the magic of Hollywood comes to your town. The movie they were filming was called Nebraska, it’s the story of a father and son on a quest from Montana to Nebraska [...]

Jami Needs a Place to Live!!

Jami Bond — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:00:14 +0000

The countdown is on and it’s down to the nitty-gritty! I only have 11 days to move out of my place! Problem is, I still don’t know where I’m going! I’ve had a heck of a time trying to find a new place. It’s either too expensive, they don’t take pets or nobody calls me [...]

Mother’s Day is coming up soon. I should know, I’m a mom! I also happen to have one too. I’m pretty much an expert really. Well… when it comes to mom’s anyways. I invited my mother to come up for this auspicious day from the Black Hills and it got me thinking. What should we [...]

What Do You Call A Person From Montana?

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:42:54 +0000

Every state has a name for its residence…I realized for the first time this morning that I have no idea what you call a person who lives in Montana. And the big embarrassment is that it happened on the K-Bear Morning Show. I need your help…what is the proper reference to a person who lives [...]

Still Looking For A Dog

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:08:43 +0000

There is always something sad and exciting about visiting an animal shelter. While goofing off this weekend my wife and I dropped by the Yellowstone Animal Shelter on Monad. We are three years plus without a dog in our house and have a strong desire to get one. Of course, first we have to find [...]

No Dogs In Our Apartment

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 01:08:22 +0000

Just another Saturday spent goofing off in the Magic City – complete with the search a new place to live that will take animals. You see, I have some confusion. I am told that Billings is a dog town. 80% of the adults in town own a four legged friend. So why is it that [...]

Proof That Living In Billings Is a Good Thing

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:13:43 +0000

There is no better feeling than knowing that you made the right choice. Such was the case when I read the new Gallup/Healthways new Well Being Index this morning. This is the information that I shared on the K-Bear Morning show this morning. In the new information, Billings finished 6th in the best place to [...]

What Are the Signs Of Spring?

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:51:02 +0000

Sitting high atop the city this morning doing the K-Bear Morning Show I am seeing some sure signs of Spring – an earlier Sunrise, the brown of the trees giving way to green hues. But I know there has to be more to Spring in Billings. This being my first Spring season in the Magic [...]

The Coors Light Cold Open Pub Crawl Was a HUGE Success!

JP — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 23:34:22 +0000

WOW!
That's just about the only way to summarize our inaugural Coors Light Cold Open Pub Crawl and Miniature Golf Tournament! Of course this whole event wouldn't have been possible without the support of all of our participating Pub Crawl Locations, their awesome (and patient) employees, our sponsor General Distributing, and of course all of the amazing members of the Billings community who came out yesterday to support an awesome cause.

JP — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:06:34 +0000

It's that wonderful time of year again: St. Patrick's Day! The one holiday a year that's nationally celebrated solely through the consumption of large amounts of alcohol and parades. So you're probably asking yourself, "Where should I be going?" I'm glad you asked that question! Here's my top five picks for where you should take your merriment and appreciation of Irish culture

This Might Be The Weekend…

Greg Tillotson — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:38:06 +0000

No secret that around my house we are in the mode to add to our family. With a dog, not a child. And I just read that this weekend in National Pet Adoption weekend, and that PetSmart next to Best Buy on King will have many animals at their store today, being made available through [...]

Dogs In My Future

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:38:50 +0000

I was changing the dates on our wipe off calendar this morning and realized we are 2 months into our six month lease of our apartment on the West end of Billings. More importantly, four months to go until we can move to a house. Believe me when I say we are counting the days [...]

Another Discovery!

Greg Tillotson — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:45:42 +0000

So far living in Billings has been a blast for my wife and I. The surprises have been endless. And they continued this morning grocery shopping at a store that starts with a ‘W’. Pushing the cart up and down the aisle we stumbled upon a delicacy treasure. I mean a true delight for the [...]

Beauty, But At a Price

Greg Tillotson — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:08:52 +0000

Before coming to Billings to take the job as Brand Manager of K-Bear, I spent almost 13 months in Juneau, Alaska. People here have ask me what Alaska was like…so I thought I would share this video of the area with you. It’s funny, Alaska was never on my radar as a place to live or even [...]

Roses Aren't The ONLY Flower for Valentine's Day

Staci — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:44:40 +0000

I must admit, my favorite flower arrangement to receive as a gift is NOT Roses…but breaking this news to my sweetie didn’t get me any points. I think a lot of ladies out there would agree that there are other beautiful flowers to send for Valentine’s Day. The upside is, they may be less expensive. So guys, here are [...]
