Prepare yourselves, Butte parade attendees, as this is a crucial election year with an abundance of politicians and their teams expected to participate in the parade.
However, it’s not just about politicians, as there are nearly 140 entries this year, featuring floats, dancing, cheering, music, and many veterans from southwest Montana.
The Butte-Silver Bow Sheriff Ed Lester and officers will lead the parade, with his opponent, Mike Gage, also in attendance.
Both Democrats and Republicans will be represented, including the Silver Bow Republican Women’s Club and the B-SB Democrats.
Other key figures walking the route include B-SB Chief Executive J.P. Gallagher and his challenger, Bill Foley.
Also participating are Matt Enrooth and Kelli Fivey, the candidates for the Butte-Silver Bow County Attorney position.
