Festival Days buttons honor past, celebrating future

One thousand commemorative buttons celebrating the 33rd Havre Festival Days are available at more than 40 Havre Area Chamber of Commerce businesses.

This year’s button celebrates the 120th anniversary of Havre with a photo of a brick wall in Havre showcasing the historical Havre brick in the button logo.

The buttons are numbered consecutively from 1 to 1,000 and sell for $1.

Wearing a Festival Days button could also provide discounts at some local participating businesses.

The Chamber will draw a series of five random numbers each day, starting Monday, Sept. 16, and running through Friday, Sept. 20. Those holding a button with a winning number will win a Chamber Gift Certificate in varying denominations or a Festival Days commemorative mug.

To claim prizes, people can stop by the Chamber with the winning button. Winning numbers will be noted in the Havre Daily News, online at http://www.havredailynews.com and on the radio during the week of Festival Days.

Chamber members recommend people get buttons now, because only a limited number are available.

For those people who collect Festival Days Buttons, the rerquested numbers have been set aside and can be picked up at the Chamber office.
