HELENA — People packed the Montana State Capitol Friday morning to celebrate the state's Irish heritage on St. Patrick's Day. For 39 years, the Irish tricolor flag has been raised outside the Capitol. Gov. Greg Gianforte continued that tradition this year. The celebration then moved inside to the rotunda, where state and local leaders read proclamations in honor of Irish heritage, and those in attendance enjoyed performances by the Pipes and Drums of the Black Devils and the Tiernan Irish Dancers.
