Courthouse to celebrate Butte's Tourism Community of the Year Award

The Governor's Tourism award was recently presented to county officials and there will be a brief ceremony at the Courthouse Rotunda Wednesday April 21st at 1:30pm. The award was earned by tourism efforts over the last year to develop a festival economy and will be delivered by Main Street Uptown Butte which nominated the community for its hard work.

"This is a great honor for Butte and acknowledgement of hard work by a lot of our people," said Chief Executive Paul Babb. "Only one community each year is singled out for this recognition, and thanks to the hard work of a lot of our citizens, this year it's all about Butte's efforts to establish and grow a festival economy," Babb added.

The whole community is invited to the brief ceremony.
