As fans of awesome multifunctional vehicles (have you seen our vintage Airstream trailer with a digital photo booth?!), we decided to contact the Flathead Valley’s finest food trucks to showcase their delicious fare during the Black Star Barter on Saturday, February 4th at 5pm! Our favorite food trucks and tents will serve up their tasty dishes for all to enjoy while watching contestants barter up their prized possessions and performances for a chance at a year’s supply of beer.

The judging panel for this year's Black Star Barter is going to be a tough one to crack! Between the 5 of them, they've seen what people are capable of bartering, they know what Montana beer is worth, have seen every trick on Whitefish Mountain and have tackled some of the most ambitious and exhilarating slopes in the world. With that advisory warning, we are excited to announce the 2012 Black Star Barter judges!

We're proud to announce the 2012 Black Star Barter Emcees! This deadly duo, comprised of Donnie Clapp and Jason Forrest, will be introducing our brave contestants, cracking jokes, chumming it up with our judging panel, and most importantly, getting the crowd pumped! This is a year's supply of Black Star that's at stake here!

What would you do or trade for a year’s supply of beer? Would you tattoo a giant red bronco on your back or fork over your precious taxidermy water buffalo? Prove it at the Black Star Barter on February 4th, 2012 in Whitefish, Montana!
