During the fall, rifle and bow hunting draw a large amount of avid and not-so-avid hunters, as does the annual downtown merchants' Beef-O-Rama held the last Saturday in September. Stop by Dan's Gay 90's for some fudge. Also in the fall, the annual HMMGG Festival, and alternative arts festival, has been held just outside of town since 1986. In the winter months, most tourists partake in Nordic (cross country) skiing, ice fishing, downhill skiing in nearby mountains, snow tubing, sleigh rides, snowmobiling and dining at area restaurants.
