Known for its vast landscapes, friendly communities and plentiful outdoor recreation opportunities, Montanas Missouri River Country also has exciting new additions thanks to the Bakken oil field. The Bakken spans 14,000 square miles in North Dakota, Montana and Canada and is currently the largest oil field discovery in North America in the last 40 years. Record oil production has brought an influx of new businesses to communities in Montanas Missouri River Country including boutiques, restaurants and lodging. Montanas Missouri River Country also boasts an extended line-up of summer events. Visitors can expect inviting people, new amenities and entertainment in every community.

The Bakken oil boom, once thought to be a burden on the infrastructure of the communities that surround it, has in fact been a boon, bringing new attractions for residents and visitors alike. The community of Sidney is an excellent example with two new hotels and a third under construction. The town is adding roughly 200 new rooms ready and waiting for summer visitors. The oil field activity is keeping the hotels busy but they arent fully booked. Northeastern Montana still has lots of lodging options available to travelers who want to take advantage of all Missouri River Countrys summer activities. The influx of people has motivated communities to step up and offer an expanded line-up of summer events making Missouri River Country the place to be this summer. We have a lot going on out here, said Wade VanEvery, Executive Director of the Sidney Chamber of Commerce.

Each weekend in August plays host to a fair in different communities throughout Missouri River Country. One example is the Richland County Fair, August 1 4, the largest in Northeastern Montana. It features a PRCA rodeo that is known for drawing in some of the biggest names in rodeo. Country singer Joe Nichols will be headlining the Richland Fairs concert this year. Other fairs include entertainment including a tractor pull and car show and delicious cuisine featuring locally grown products.

The activity on the Bakken oil field has not detracted from Montanas Missouri River Countrys natural wonders which continue to be a draw for summer travelers. A short journey to the Fort Peck Reservoir unfolds endless possibilities for fishing, boating and much more. Walleye, northern pike, lake trout, Chinook salmon and smallmouth bass can all be found in the reservoir. Shoreline stretching 1,600 miles with depths up to 220 feet, Fort Peck Reservoir is also perfect for boating.

Another summer favorite in Missouri River Country is Brush Lake. Like a sapphire on the prairie, Brush Lake is a deep clear lake with white sandy beaches located just two miles from the North Dakota border. Cool and clear all summer long, the lake provides visitors a refreshing escape from the summer heat. Due to the mineral content, no fish live in Brush Lake, eliminating the conflict between boaters and fishermen. Camp facilities are available at the lake making it a favorite summer destination for locals and visitors alike.

The Bakken oil field has really brought in a lot of exciting new venues. The influx of people means we have more diverse options for dining, lodging and shopping, said VanEvery. All of our popular attractions are open, we arent packed to the walls with oil field workers like a lot of people think.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

Aliotos Restaurant, one of the oldest seafood restaurants in San Francisco that specializes in traditional Sicilian recipes and private dining, is thrilled to announce that it is now run by the latest generation of Alioto family members.

Customers are amazed when they speak with us that so many family members are involved in the restaurant, Matt Violante, one of the business owners, said. I can tell you that the saying is true, You can always find an Alioto at Aliotos.

From Nonna Rose Alioto, who set up a fresh fish stall at Fisherman’s Wharf in 1925, the restaurant grew to become a favorite among locals and visitors. Eventually, the management of the restaurant was passed on to their three children; then down to their nine grandchildren; and now, 87 years later, Aliotos is run by the great-grandchildren.

Seven family members run the day-to-day operations of both the main restaurant and Waterside Cafe, a cafe-type venue in the same location. Six other members manage other aspects of the business.

With the new generation of family members now involved, the restaurant has become more visible in social channels and through their website.

As one of the oldest fine dining restaurants in San Francisco, and the oldest restaurant on Fishermans Wharf, the family is looking to connect with the younger demographic and introduce the same great product it has served for generations, Violante said.

Aliotos prides itself on its great selection of seafood, such as sea bass, sand dabs, sole, swordfish, tuna, scallops and Dungeness crab, all of which is caught locally, whenever possible, and is always fresh. Family recipes that have been passed down through the generations continue the tradition of the excellent Sicilian specialties that made the restaurant a culinary landmark.

Despite the heavy influx of new restaurants, we are here to stay; not because weve been here for a long time but because our food and service is very good, Violante said.
