The Butte Sports Hall of Fame is now accepting nominations for the 2013 election. All nominations can be dropped off at the Butte Civic Center office during normal business hours. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Jan. 4, 2013.

The Butte Sports Hall of Fame, Montana’s first city-wide sports hall, was started in 1987. The local shrine holds an election every two years. Both individuals and teams are honored at a banquet that will take place in June at the Butte Civic Center.

The Hall of Fame committee will be accepting nominations for new candidates.

People who have submitted applications in the past for a particular candidate do not have to do so again unless they have updated information on the nominee.

If any person has questions concerning the Butte Sports Hall of Fame election process please call chairman Pat Kearney at 490-0688.
