We all know the stories about buses being vandalized here. We see this as a great opportunity for Butte to change that perception. We want people to come in and have a marvelous time and have a great tournament.

I'm really happy with the level of cooperation we've gotten from Butte-Silver Bow agencies (and other entities). If we get 6,000 people in here, I'll be a nervous wreck. But that's what we're hoping for.

The bus will run every hour from the Civic Center and stop at the major motels. The riders just have to show their tournament tickets and the ride is free. It's the first time we've tried that and we hope it will go over pretty good.
