Blackfeet Nation marks second anniversary of casino

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

The Blackfeet Nation of Montana will hold a second anniversary celebration of its Glacier Peaks Casino.

Casino executives say they have reason to be happy. After a rough first year, the tribe is making progress on paying back a $7 million loan used to build the facility.

"As we stand now, I think we have a bright future," marketing manager Jostin Lawrence told The Great Falls Tribune.

The casino employs 114 people and has a $2.5 million payroll.
