Civic Center

Mining City basketball fans will be getting an early Christmas present Friday night at the Butte Civic Center as the Butte High Bulldogs take on the Butte Central Maroons for Mining City bragging rights in a girls/boys doubleheader.

If you're interested in forming a volleyball team to compete in the 2023 Butte Silver Bow Parks and Recreation Department's fall league, now is the time to get your roster together and turned in. Beginning Monday, the Parks and Rec Department will open registration for both the Womens' Rec League and the Co-ed Competitive League.

As we've noted before, Butte tends to get their celebrations started a bit early over some holidays. And others have been know to go a few days past as well. This 4th of July will fall on a Tuesday, which naturally means that by carefully using one sick day, you have a 4-day weekend. And there may be nothing more Butte, America than that. Here we are the Friday before the 4th and we're not even officially into July yet preparations for the big day are underway. Here are some of the telltale signs you'll see around town.
