The public forum for the Butte Sports Hall of Fame has been moved back one day to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 9 at the McQueen Club.

The move is being made so sports fans can watch the NCAA national championship football game that night. It will also allow fans attending the Montana Grizzlies national title football game in Frisco, Texas a better chance to attend. The forum will be an hour later than originally planned because Butte High is hosting a wrestling dual that night.

People will be asked to keep their comments to 3 minutes as they speak on behalf of candidates before the Butte Sports Hall of Fame selection committee.

Selection committee members are Jim Street, Anna Keltner, Mike Hogart, Jason Alexander, Phil Madrazo, Dave Dunmire, Michelle Shea, Gina Evans, Cathy Tutty, Ray Jay Johnson, Matt Vincent and Krystin Mengon Lee.

The deadline to nominate a candidate is Sunday, Dec. 31. People must be nominated to be considered for the Butte Sports Hall of Fame, and late nominations will not be accepted.

Candidates previously nominated are still under consideration, and they do not have to be nominated again. More information, however, can be sent in to support the candidacy.

To nominate an athlete or to provide more info, call or text Bill Foley at (406) 491-3022 or email him at foles74@gmail.com.
