This year’s Butte Sports Hall of Fame celebration will include a chance to win a 2025 Honda CR-V from Leskovar Honda.

Butte’s locally-owned dealership is sponsoring a hole-in-one contest during the Hall of Fame scramble on Friday, July 19 on the Par 3 course of the Highland View Golf Course.

One hole will be designated as the prize hole. That hole has not yet been selected.

The tournament, which will be $10 per person plus green fees for non-members, is open to the public. The tournament has tee times blocked off from 1 to 3 p.m. Players can show up with a team of four or five or come as an individual and join a team.

You do not have to sign up in advance.

The Green Jacket Ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 19 at the Civic Center. The event, which is free to the public, begins with a 6 p.m. social hour.

The Induction Banquet begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 20. That event also begins with a 6 p.m. social hour. Cost is $38 before July 12. Then the cost goes up to $45. Tickets can be purchased at the Butte Civic Center box office or at butteciviccenter.com.

Teams will be recognized on Friday night before receiving their plaques on Saturday.

In addition to purchasing a ticket, members of those teams are asked to RSVP to Butte Sports Hall of Fame Executive Director Bill Foley so the Hall of Fame can have a plaque for them at the banquet. Call or text Foley at (406) 491-3022 or email him at foles74@gmail.com.

Team members who cannot make the banquet can purchase a plaque for cost, plus shipping.
