Summer fun will return to Papa Ray’s Sports Bar in Montana City as the Sleeping Giant Volleyball League revs up for its sixth year of competition, and this year will be the biggest one yet.

Papa Rays has operated in Montana City since 1994 – built by current owner Quin Sather’s parents. Sather himself took sole ownership of the bar 2.5 years ago, but not before he was approached by Ashley Ulsher.

Ulsher, moving to the area from Butte, happened upon Papa Rays while searching for a place to play volleyball outdoors.
