ISSUE BACKGROUNDER: DISCOVERING THE “CITY OF CHAMPIONS”
One of the themes in Butte’s past and present world is “CITY
OF CHAMPIONS,” which describes Butte’s explosively
successful COMPETITIVE NATURE and its ability to produce big-hearted,
fearless, and passionate champions in all aspects of life, culture
as well as sports. These “unstoppable” forces are clarified
in a smelter of Butte’s challenges, and the sheer Love of
Butte.
EXAMPLE: Recently, Butte High won a new recognition for having
the BEST ACADEMIC RECORD among its athletes. SMART city of champions,
too. CONGRATULATIONS BUTTE HIGH STUDENT ATHLETES, TEACHERS, STAFF
AND PARENTS!
The bar is set high. From Evel Knievel to Levi Leipheimer, Butte’s
athletes and sportsters are an amazing group of larger-than-life
champions, who compete, perform and play on a global stage. Recent
Evel Daze and the lovely Irish Festival made our youth say they
feel like Butte can be champions in business and recreation,
too. Many “Only in Butte” moments were experienced
by our young people.
Feeling left out? Not to worry, we need to hear from every household
in town, and we will! WE ARE STILL EARLY IN THE DISCOVERY PROCESS.
Join our global discussion and discovery of Butte.
What is it about Butte’s culture, past or present, that
produces this City of Champions achievement?
