Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel

This Saturday you are invited to a Mardi Gras party of sorts. No, we're not asking you to go all the way to the French Quarter of New Orleans, just down to Stodden Park and the incredible Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel where you will find this year's annual fundraiser, "Mardi Gras Magic".

This Saturday, the Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel will have Santa Claus on hand to greet Butte's children and get their wish lists from noon to 3 and the entire family is invited. The Carousel will be running, and the gift shop will be open and is a great place to find Butte-related items that are perfect for out-of-town friends and family members. Their Butte-centric gifts and souvenirs can truly offer unique gifts, even for those who are hard to shop for.

The 8th Annual Carousel Benefit Car Show hosted by the Pioneer Street Rods, one of Southwest Montana's biggest of the year, is set for September 8th at Stodden Park in Butte. In addition to Top Ten Awards and dash plaques being up for grabs, contestants will be competing or the coveted Jake Hart Memorial Trophy and will be given a bevy of amenities with their entries.

Whenever a car club hosts a car show you know it's going to be something special and when it's the oldest car club in Southwest Montana it can only be that much better. You are invited to join in the fun Wednesday evening as Pioneer Street Rods hosts KMBR's 4th Cruise Nite of the summer at Stodden Park just outside the Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel from 6 to 8pm.
