What flavor of Coca Cola is the most popular in Montana? Well, the folks from employers.io did a study and the result might surprise you.

As far as Montana music venues go, Butte has always been pretty close to the top of the list of cities with incredible places to play music or watch a live show. Sure, Billings has the Metra, Missoula the Adams Event Center and even here in Butte we have the beloved old Civic Center, but getting a Civic Center gig is a pretty hard ticket and concerts there aren't quite as common as they once were. Butte has the Mother Lode Theater and the Covellite, both great places to watch a show and some great outdoor concert areas like the one behind the Butte Depot. Well, now you can add another venue and this one definitely takes the cake in terms of uniqueness.

Here in Butte, it's not uncommon for the premiere of a new summer blockbuster to skip us entirely, so it's good news that the new action/western movie "The Unholy Trinity" will, in fact, be playing here. It's even better news that this movie has our own Tim Montana playing a big role, making his major motion picture debut alongside such major players as Pierce Brosnan and Brandon Lessard and Samuel L. Jackson. Yes, that Samuel L. Jackson. The movie looks intense. Let's have a look.

From low pass flybys to burnouts, food trucks to flight simulators and a lot of machinery on display, Saturday's Wings & Wheels car and aircraft show had a little bit of something for everyone in attendance. There was certainly quite a few people on hand on a gorgeous sunny Saturday at Bert Mooney Airport who were enjoying not only quite the car show but also several incredible aircraft on display.

Thursday is going to be big in Uptown Butte with the Family Fun Area running from 3 to 6pm and a big evening show on Park Street featuring three FMX performances from Keith Sayers, two performances from Butte's Levi Blom and the finale with country star Travis Denning.

One of the hidden gems of Butte, America, tucked in behind the hill on which Montana Tech perches, is the World Museum of Mining. The Mining Museum truly is a local treasure and one that often goes overlooked by locals. Have you seen the World Museum of Mining lately?
