Good morning, Butte.

The Butte-Silver Bow Fair will be held at the Civic Center from July 31 to August 2 with local musicians, livestock, and motocross events attracting community members.

Organizers have designed a schedule with animal shows, live music, and adrenaline-fueled motocross contests to offer a fun, homegrown experience.

A seminar for Butte business owners will be held on August 6 at the Emergency Operations Center at 3619 Wynne — national expert John McGovern will share practical tips on meeting ADA standards and improving accessibility.

Registration is required as spots are limited.

Butte-Silver Bow officials are reviewing a new ordinance that may allow urban residents to keep backyard chickens by lowering the current 20,000 square foot requirement — the proposal would set limits based on lot size, require a $100 permit fee, and mandate inspections for households with seven or more chickens. Officials said they will consider these changes in the coming weeks as part of a broader rewrite of animal control rules.
