Butte Fourth of July concert delayed by bus breakdowns
The Santa Ana Winds band concert in Butte was postponed from Saturday night to Sunday noon after an 87 member bus broke down twice en route, once near Ely Nevada and again south of Pocatello. The group will perform at Stodden Park and a Sunday rescheduled show follows. The committee ponders 87 donated chicken dinners for the band’s Saturday supper, likely to be given to nursing homes or charities. The Navy Band also faced a breakdown on Monida Pass but most members hitchhiked to Butte for a Friday parade.
