The Sixth Annual Fourth of July Energy Days Celebration will be held on Monday, July 4 at the Carbon County Fairgrounds Events Center located at 450 South Fairgrounds Way in Price. This event is free to the entire community.
Karra Hillam, SEUEPA Director spoke about this year’s celebration, “We are starting things a little bit different this year, we’re kicking off at 3:30 pm with a Patriotical musical tribute that will be at the Senior Citizen Center and then directly right at 5:00 o’clock when all of the main activities, the food, we will be doing the free hot dog dinner for the first 1,000 people with the Cold Stone ice cream.”
Pre-registration for the contests will begin at 5:00 pm for the coal shoveling competition, strong man competition, water balloon volleyball, cupcake and hot dog eating contest. There will be various prizes awarded to the winners of the contests as Hillam explained, “Laptop, IPad, eight Lagoon passes, Luke Bryan concert pass tickets, $300 gift certificate to the Auto Farm, a year membership at Core Fitness, Def Leppard tickets, plus don’t forget the cash.” Other fun events to enjoy will be the blow-up bouncers, foam pit, wet slide obstacle course, outdoor laser tag and live entertainment by the band Paid In Full.
SEUPA puts a lot of time and hard work into this celebration and with every year it grows, more volunteers are needed. “This event has grown so much that what we really need is some volunteers and what we are going to do is kind of compensate you for your volunteer time. Everyone who volunteers we actually have a schedule that they can go to, they can find that on our website at www.seuepa.org and we’re asking for two to three hour times they can volunteer, you know you can still enjoy the night, we are just asking for a couple of hours,” said Hillam. Volunteers can range from a civic organization, sports team, businesses or a family.
The Energy Days celebration is sure to have something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. Hillam finished with, “This community is absolutely amazing when it comes to this but I think they see the benefit of it, they see how important the energy is in this area and the opportunity that we have to come together for our Patriotic event and to explain and really make people knowledgeable in our energy industry it is a great event.”
