Like any company, Lard Butt has roots....and this company's roots are proudly set in the great community of Havre, Montana! Though we've spread out to various parts of the Pacific Northwest during the past couple of decades, four of Lard Butt's founders originally hail from Havre -- and we extend a special Lard Butt hello to our hometown!
So, let's talk mascots: There are plenty of boring 'Falcons,' 'Eagles,' and 'Bears' out there, indeed, but how many 'Blue Ponies' are out there?? That's right, Havre is unique and we remain proud to be Blue Ponies to this day!
It was an honor for us to recently reconnect with our friends at the Havre Daily News and hope some of you on the Hi-line enjoyed reading the piece that appeared in Monday's editions of the Daily News. Here's a link to the story: http://havredailynews.com/articles/2009/08/17/sports/sports.txt.
For those Lard Butts who are in places far, far removed from Montana and Havre, we thought a photo of the best place on earth to play or watch a football game is in order: After all, where else can you park a car on an elevated terrace and watch the game unfold directly beneath you, while you enjoy a tailgate feast?? We've been to stadiums near and far, indoor and out, high school, college, and pro....and have never found anything quite like the home field that Havre enjoys, tucked in a perfect football valley on the northwest edge of town.
For a free Lard Butt shirt, can anyone name the photographed stadium??
