You really don't need to look too far in Butte to see that there are many among us who are living paycheck to paycheck. Some of those do not even have a paycheck. Their lives are meal to meal. For some, their conditions are not as dire, yet they are still in need of assistance and that assistance is provided here in Butte by the Butte Emergency Food Bank. What the Food Bank does here in Butte, for so many, is such an important service for those in need. This Saturday, our local Postal Carriers are going to give you a chance to help the Food Bank through the Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Following the completion of the 2024 Frontier Conference Track & Field Championship on Monday, the conference has announced the 2024 Frontier Men's and Women's Track & Field All-Conference Team.

What if I told you that you could feed the whole family, on Mother's Day even, in a great place for a very reasonable amount? Even better, what if I told you that choosing this place would help out one of the oldest volunteer fire departments in town? Well, that's exactly what's happening. The Centerville Volunteer Fire Department is holding their 26th Annual Mother's Day Breakfast at the Butte Elks Lodge at 206 W. Galena St. from 9am until noon.

You certainly cannot say that Tim Montana has not worked hard over the course of his career. I got to know Tim back when he was pushing his first single, "Butte, America" way back in 2007 and he was working hard then as he came to our radio stations personally and convinced us to give the song a few spins on the local airwaves. He had recently returned from school in California where he had studied under the legendary Johnny Hiland, which while impressive, was just the tip of the iceberg.

The Orediggers of Montana Tech are once again Frontier Conference Champions in Track and Field.

We are at the end of the Spring sports season as the final games, matches and meets take place before the postseason begins. Here is what Butte High and Butte Central have on tap.

While new to Butte, Gyros Wagon has a location in Dillon on Atlantic, serving beef and lamb or chicken gyros both traditional style and in a number of different, tasty fashions and will be opening soon.

Thirty years ago, Butte was still learning how to deal with the economic and social fallout that came with the fall of the Anaconda Company. A once bustling mining boomtown whose population had been well over 100,000 early in the twentieth century, by the 1990s it had fallen to just over 30,000. With the decline in population came urban blight. Many Uptown buildings, which once housed stores, offices and apartments were abandoned and lay dormant. The warehouse district was no exception. Right in the heart of the district is the once-bustling Great Northern Depot which was a hub of railway travel in Montana. For years it sat abandoned, although many would talk about the building's potential. But nobody took action. Until the Fisher Family came into the picture.

Over the past couple of decades, we have seen Butte flourish into one of the most fan-friendly festival cities in the Northwest. Anyone who doubts this need just attend a single event at the Montana Folk Festival, which will be coming up here in just a few short weeks. Shoot, you only need look back a few weeks to see the turnout for the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration to see what kind of a party Butte is capable of throwing. But there's one festival that is relatively new, but one that started out big and has only continued to grow. And I'm talking about Brawls and Kickstart Days.

Here in Montana, we are definitely in the heart of beef country and with that comes a certain quality. A quality you take for granted. There have been a couple of instances where I have had the good fortune of visiting a couple of higher-end steakhouses in big cities and have usually walked away thinking "it's good, but not as good as back home". Now I'm not saying by any means that these weren't delicious steaks. I'm just saying that some of the best steaks in the world can be found right here in Butte. Here are a few places that I believe have the best steaks in town. In fact, I'll put any one of these four places up against anyone in the world.
