The 14th annual Two Rivers Rendezvous runs Friday through Sunday at Fawn Creek Campground near the Fisher River east of Libby.

Friday’s events include the rifle, pistol, smoothbore, hawk and knife, and primitive archery trails. Saturday’s schedule includes the rifle, pistol, hawk and knife, primitive archery trails and long gong.
Awards will be presented on Sunday.
Activities for kids are also part of the event.
