Some of the other events that fall outside of the main State Games weekend include trap shooting, archery, open water swimming, run paddle run, and middle school and scholastic volleyball.
Big Sky State Games Opening Ceremony is Friday, July 18, at a new location: Lockwood High School Stadium, 1932 U.S. Highway 87 E, Billings.
