Free Cone Day raises funds for St. Jude’s Ranch
Nearly $2,000 was raised for St. Jude’s Ranch for Children during Ben & Jerry’s 36th annual Free Cone Day on April 8 at the Scoop Shops in The District at Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station. During the event, 7,929 scoops or the equivalent of 1,485 pounds of ice cream were served.
Each year, the Henderson shops enlist the help of local celebrities to scoop ice cream while supporting local children’s charities.
Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years. It is a fact of life for city staff, and the big decrease in tourism to the region is poised to make the situation even more dire.
Is the cliché that good things always come in threes or celebrity deaths? Good or bad?
What do you get when you cross a pirate, a magician and a circus founder?
Thousands came out Saturday for the 29th Wurst Festival, sponored by the Boulder City Sunrise Rotary club. Attendees enjoyed food, a car show, live music and a live auction. Money raised helps support scholarship programs as well as the annual Grad Night. The event helps kick off the busy fall season of events in Boulder City.
Boulder City continues to be an extraordinarily safe place to live.
