Labor Day

First of all, Happy Labor Day and a salute to the hardworking people of Butte and Southwest Montana. Butte has always been about the working man. Butte is very blue collar and while billions of dollars' worth of ore has been taken from the ground and made many individuals and corporations very wealthy. But it was done through the sweat of the working men and women. And we salute them today.

A Southwest Montana tradition returns to the Mining City's Stodden Park this Labor Day as the Southwest Montana Central Labor Council again brings their free community picnic to park's area near the carousel. The free community picnic will be taking place from noon unitl 4pm this year and is a great opportunity to mingle with fellow community members and hear from many local and statewide office holders and candidates in addition to enjoying a free barbecue compliments of the Southwest Montana Central Labor Council.
