This year the Governor's Special Award goes to the Don Caster Round Barn. Barb Pahl will be honored for her lifetime contributions to Montana preservation. Chuck Mead of Alberton will receive the local preservationist award. And Butte CPR will be recognized as an outstanding and effective community preservation group (photo, right, of presentation ceremony).
