As new immigrants to Butte (1981 & 2005), both of us consider Butte the best place to live and our final resting place. In creating our business "Uptown Works" this year, we simply combined everything we know, everything we truly love, and made it available to everyone else. If we are able to draw people in to Butte's magic, then we have achieved our goal. Introducing new visitors to Butte, making them want to stay longer and explore, or taking locals on a "rediscovery" tour - it is all exciting to us. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you!
