In my first year (actually, 10 months) as the extension agent for Silver Bow County, I’ve learned that the people in Butte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butte,_Montana are among the nicest I have met.
There is also an unmatched desire here to help one another in the area. I saw firsthand how the community rallied to help Dylan Dallaserra, a 4-H member who suffered head injuries while riding his motorcycle.
This is something you would see in a small town and why I affectionately call Butte the “largest” small town in Montana.
