Welcome to Butte America!

Like Buttians, we are all fiercely proud or our slice of America and just as patriotic. Thus the theme for our annual

Foundation fundraising event is “Americana”. Every corner of Montana is a piece of America that we love to show off and will be reflected during our district basket auction, featuring items that make members proud to live in their community. The Teccas will return to entertain us with their all-American brand of live music, you might just see an Evel Knievel impersonator or the ghost of a Copper King and some of the hearty and delicious food staples that made Butte famous will be on the menu.
