In her 145-year history, the Original Mineyard has been many things. First, of course, it was, well, the Original Mineyard where underground mining operations took place from 1878 to 1976. Since the year of our nation's bicentennial, it has worn many hats. A storage area. A festival grounds. A city park. Even a wedding site and reception area. Starting Thursday, the Original Mineyard will turn into a fairground for a weekend as the Butte-Silver Bow County Fair moves north to this popular Uptown gathering site.

The Butte-Silver Bow Fair is going to be a pretty big deal this year. New attractions, along with some familiar faces, and a new location have organizers as well as folks around town excited about what's coming up.

The Butte Silver-Bow County Fair is coming up July 27th through the 29th at the Original Mine Yard.
