Chinese New Year Parade - Butte Montana?
Butte Montana has a Chinese New Years parade! On February 9, 2008. One more state to add to my lists of Chinese New Year events for 2008. My Grandfather was born in Montana. Pleasant surprise! And they even have a Chinese Museum. It is surprising at how many Chinese were in the Western United States during and after the Gold Rush.
