Busy Bloomfield summer capped by Grower's Market
We hope you had a chance to enjoy all the great activities that the City of Bloomfield and Gateway Civitans hosted over the 4th of July weekend. It was a great event – and fun was had by all who attended. What a great event for our community! The fireworks were awesome and seemed to go on forever! We all really enjoyed the display and are looking forward to next year’s spectacular event!
Our 10th Annual Balloon Rally was wonderful! Friday on Event Sponsor Day, we had 13 balloons in the air over the San Juan River. Mass Ascension on Saturday had 18 balloons! The air was literally filled with balloons. Thanks to our great pilots and our sponsors we had a successful rally. The balloon glow was awesome – 16 balloons glowed, the weather was perfect and the crowds had a great time! On Sunday, we had unusual wind, and one lucky balloon got to land at the BHS Baseball Field! The pilot was a Utah State Senator – and he was quite impressed with the facilities. We had glorious weather for the entire weekend. All the balloons launched and we had a wonderful ride down the San Juan River.
A huge thank you to our Major Sponsors – WPX, the City of Bloomfield, SunRay Park and Casino and Country Gas - our Event Sponsors - Independence Capital, Wagner Equipment, SJRMC, Holiday Inn Express, Bank of the Southwest, K & C Transport.
