A Hanging in Uptown Butte...

Leave it to Butte, America to have a mock hanging to celebrate the centennial of the Silverbow Courthouse.

This particular gallow was made in Butte and used all over the state.

I loaded up the kids and we headed uptown to watch the re-enactment. There was quite the turn out!

Afterwards their was a mini childrens parade with kids carrying the largest U.S Flag to the original mine headframe a few blocks away. Then they had a Huck Finn/Pollyana Days for the kids. Shocking that Butte actually had a daytime activity for kiddies!! There were old fashioned games, and races for the kids to play. They served kettle corn and watermelon. It was actually a fun time!
