10 bucks gets you free beer and a ticket to the film festival.

Here's the breakdown:

•2:00-5:00pm: Down the Hatch kicks off in Caras Park. Browse the vendor tents, demo all the sweet gear you can get your hands on, and grab some food before the beer truck arrives.

•5:00-7:00pm: The party really starts. Lil' Smokies will be playing their brand of Montana bluegrass and the beer will flow. In between songs and gulps of beer, keep your ears peeled for prize giveaways, mingle with vendors, and try out even more sweet gear.

•7:00-9:00pm (with doors opening at 6:30): We'll move the party across the street to the Wilma Theatre for a Fly-Fishing Film Festival. Grab a seat and stay tuned for some of the best fishing films the industry has to offer. In between mind-blowing films, we'll be giving away the following: a trip for two to El Pescador, Belize; two days of guided fishing from PRO Outfitters; an overnight guided fishing trip at the Cottonwood Camp from WorldCast Anglers; two days of guided fishing (or rowing lessons) from Blackfoot River Outfitters; a pair of oars; throw bags and dry bags; Costa sunglasses and swag; Helios 2 rod outfits; and much, much more.
