Obama to be in Butte’s 4th of July Parade

By Matthew Frank, 6-30-08

Barack Obama will be in Butte’s Fourth of July parade Friday, the Montana Standard reports.

“He’ll be up front, marching with the Democratic Party,” Mollie Kirk, Butte Celebrations organizer, told the Standard, and it is believed that Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer will accompany Obama.

The parade route is about 1.5 miles, from the Butte Civic Center to Elizabeth Warren Avenue, starting at 10 a.m. Friday.

We’ll have more details as they become available.
