Basin Days brings out community and more

Basin Days brought out a large crowd on Aug. 12, and offered a lot of family-friendly events, including line dancing, courtesy of Copper City and Dudes of Butte (two members of the group are pictured above left). Ali McHugh of East Helena, center, gets in on the action. Basin Days also included the annual duck race. Pictured to the right: Ryder Weinmeister, left, and Issac Cary collect some ducks following the excitement.  BELOW: more duck-related adventures.  (Keith Hammonds/The Monitor)
