Funds support university students who make presentations at annual conference

 

MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — The Montana State University Billings History Club, Phi Alpha Theta, will have one of its popular “Brats, Burgers & Beer” fundraisers Friday, April 9 from 5-8 p.m. at the Yellowstone Valley Brewing Co., 2123 1st Avenue North.

 

Featured again will be hamburgers, the MSUB History Club’s famous Black Widow Brats (bratwurst baptized in the award-winning Black Widow Stout ale before being barbecued), with all the trimmings. The food will be prepared by professors and students from the MSU Billings history department. The burgers and brats are $4; the good times, collegiality and camaraderie are priceless.

 

Proceeds will help fund the MSUB History Club’s trip to the annual Phi Alpha Theta student conference, to be held at Fairmont Hot Springs next week. The conference is being co-hosted by MSU Billings and the University of Montana.

 

The MSU Billings History Club has members of various majors on campus who have a strong interest in history.
