The historical railroad station served as the perfect backdrop for a night of fine wine, craft beer and catching up with old friends. Montana Tech was the sole beneficiary of the proceeds from the inaugural event Over 100 wines and several craft and specialty beers were part of the attraction as well as fare from some of Butte’s finest restaurants and caterers. We would like to thank Joe McClafferty (Montana Tech Athletic Director), and our very own Katie Seaman and Dan Haney for their hard work and dedication that made this event one to remember. We’re looking forward to next year’s event and hope to see you there!</p><div
