ROCK SPRINGS – One of the most anticipated summer events received a nice gift from a local business.
On Friday, Simplot presented a check in the amount of $2,500 for this summer’s Sweetwater Blues n’ Brews Festival. This year’s event will have Bunning Park jumping on Aug. 13.
The Rock Springs Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency partners with the Young And Professionals (YAP) of Sweetwater County to produce Sweetwater Blues n’ Brews each year. Director of the Rock Springs Main Street/URA Chad Banks said it is the biggest fundraiser for them. Funds raised help with the downtown revitalization efforts and other community projects.
Banks said anyone interested in sponsoring this year’s event or would like to get involved can call the Main Street Office at 352-1434.
Those involved in Friday’s donation are pictured above. They include (left to right) Katrina Hammerly and Sara Shamsie (Young And Professionals of Sweetwater County – YAP), Bret Pizzato (Simplot), Stacy Jones, Glennise Wendorf, Gloria Hutton (Rock Springs Main Street/URA) and Becky Gressette (YAP).
