One of the fastest growing events in Deer Lodge County is the Soup-R-Bowl held in February, coinciding with the famous NFL football Super Bowl. Soup-R-Bowl is an event sponsored by the local Elks Lodge in collaboration with several community partners, including Deer Lodge County MSU Extension. The county Extension agent has been honored to serve as a soup judge. The event features local food businesses and their culinary delights while encouraging community unity and fellowship. Local businesses compete to be recognized as having the best soup, with two trophies at stake, Judges Choice and People’s Choice. On average, 12 local businesses compete and over 80 community members participate annually.
