The public forum for the Butte Sports Hall of Fame will be held Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the McQueen Club.

The forum was moved back one day because of the Michigan-Washington FBS national championship game. The move also allows Montana Grizzly fans attending the FCS national championship game in Frisco, Texas a better chance to attend the forum.

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