Hidden Montana Story
Hidden Montana was born from the vision and dedication of Katie and Bekhi Spika, two sisters who grew up on a farm 20 miles northwest of Lewistown. After exploring life in Missoula and Minneapolis, they returned to Central Montana to join their family’s manufacturing business, eventually becoming CEO and Sales Director.
Upon their return, the Spika sisters encountered a surprising challenge: staying informed about community events and activities. Realizing they weren’t alone in this frustration, they saw an opportunity to make a difference. The sisters launched Azimech (inspired by the archaic name for the Spica star, a symbol of partnership and connection) and created an events-driven website. This platform not only keeps the community informed but also amplifies the voices of local bloggers passionate about sharing stories from the region.
Hidden Montana officially launched in 2017 and evolved with a major refresh in 2019. Under the leadership of Katie and Bekhi, the platform became a trusted resource for locals and visitors alike, fostering a sense of belonging and adventure.
Welcoming the New Team
As Hidden Montana steps into its next chapter, we honor Katie and Bekhi’s vision and hard work that brought this platform to life. Their legacy of connection, community, and celebration of Central Montana inspires us to continue their mission with the same passion and purpose.
