Colorado team gets the ball rolling at Strawberry Days
parade

A crew from our team in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, volunteered at the city’s annual Strawberry Days Parade in June.

With significant decorating assistance from energy services representative Jessica and her family, who came from Rapid City, and Colorado Springs team member Amy, coordinator of the energy efficiency program, Black Hills Energy’s entry in the 125th Annual Strawberry Days Parade was a big hit. The Black Hills Energy mini-beach balls were extremely popular.

Later at the Black Hills Energy booth at Two Rivers Park — located at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers — our coloring contest struck a chord with the kids, who competed for gift certificates to a local homemade ice cream shop. A little bit of rain and quite a bit of wind added to the fun, music, and good times as the record crowds soaked in the beautiful, mostly sunny Colorado weather.

Thanks to all our volunteers who helped at this fantastic summer event!

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on FacebookInstagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
