Mother's Day Weekend is always jam-packed at the Butte Civic Center, what with Mayfair happening with KXLF which, of course, is one of the biggest fair and trade shows in Montana.  It's an incredible event and something we all look forward to every year.  You can count on finding many old friends wandering through the booths of the Civic Center arena and vendors from just about everywhere in Montana, but in the Civic Center annex on Saturday there is something else happening that you need to know about.

Saturday from 10am to 3pm is the Mental Health and Wellness Fair being brought to you in part by Butte-Silver Bow and Butte Cares along with the BHLAC (Behavioral Health Local Advisory Council). At the Mental Health and Wellness Fair they will have many vendors from around the area as well as local, regional, and state mental health resources.  There will be plenty of fun and entertainment as well as bingo cards, raffle tickets and more will be available as well as something for the whole family. The Mental Health and Wellness Fair event is free for everyone, and all are more than welcome to stop by.  Good Mental Health is something that is often overlooked while some are suffering, they incorrectly assume that seeking help or even information for themselves or loved ones is a sign of weakness.  That simply is not the case.

If you would like further details or more information, or if you are a vendor and would like a table, please contact bdeavel@bsb.mt.gov or cooper317406@gmail.com.
