Jeannette Kappes is carrying on her mother’s legacy as the third-generation owner of Crazee Carol’s Casino and Mill Bar in Butte.

She might not be as “crazee” as her late mother, but she is definitely “segrevious.” That is a word made up by Kappes’ mother Carol Heim and Butte radio legend Dennisjon Nettles three decades ago. 

It was part of a great advertising campaign that told us Crazee Carol’s is located on the scenic shores of Lake Berkeley.  

Today, Crazee Carol’s is still going strong, even though it is one of the last of the neighborhood bars and casinos.

Listen in as Jeannette gives us some history of the bar, which joined her family when her grandparents decided to move from their Elk Park dairy farm to run the bar on the corner of Walnut and Hayes.

Listen as she talks about working with her mother and eventually taking over as owner of the family business.

Listen as she talks about the family atmosphere that makes Crazee Carol’s still segrevious after all these years.
