After going uptown this morning, I had a real sense of local pride. There’s just something about seeing it the day after that really puts it into perspective… there’s no celebration like a Butte St. Patrick’s Day.

You wouldn’t have known there was a massive celebration just hours before. Clean as a whistle, everything back in place, back to normal. That doesn’t just happen.

So let’s give a round of applause to the people behind it. Butte-Silver Bow County, Parks and Rec, and Public Works putting in long hours before, during, and after to make it all come together and then turn it right back around. Law enforcement managing the crowds and keeping things safe, Alysia Guzman and BAMF coordinating a parade with more moving parts than most people realize, and all the volunteers who show up and help because they genuinely care about this place. Teamwork really does make the dream work.

I’ve been in the parade multiple years now, and the crowd never disappoints. The energy, the support… people show up loud and proud every single time. But it’s not just the crowd, it’s the people in the parade too. There’s a real sense of camaraderie, like everyone’s in it together. At one point my phone was about to die, and multiple people I didn’t even know were offering chargers without hesitation.

There are a lot of moving pieces to an event like this and a lot of people putting in the time to make it happen. Butte knows how to have a good time, but we also know how to show up for each other. That’s something to be proud of. 🍀

Grateful to have represented my clients in the sale of their home as they head off to their next chapter out of state. Beautiful property with views that were hard to beat.
