Can you refurbish an old piece of furniture like you were Bob Vila? Or do you run away in fear at the sight of tools and stain. Either way, you will find a welcome spot at the Mother Lode Theater's "Junk to Gem" fundraiser coming up at the Mother Lode Wednesday evening.

All it takes is a drive through Uptown Butte and it becomes clear that this is a town with history. Rich history. Uptown Butte is a literal historic district, and its history is fascinating. But how well do we know our history? Even with the large number of historic buildings in Uptown Butte, many of us have never seen the inside of many, much less know their history. The B'nai Israel Cultural Center is hoping to change that with the second annual 'Historic Gathering Places Tour" on Saturday, October 21.

The production is an all-volunteer, all-original living history play centered on some of the lesser known, but still important characters and events that have shaped the Mining City into what it is today.
