Upton Fun Days A Big Hit!

Everyone had a blast at Upton’s centennial celebration!  This years annual fun days events in Upton were expanded to honor the all school reunion attendees and Upton’s 100th birthday!  Every event was well attended.  The planning that went into the celebration was obvious.  They were all well organized and went off without a hitch!  Congratulations to everyone who served on any of the various committees!  Your hard work paid off!

The whole day, on Saturday July 18th, was full of activities that included something for everyone.  The parade was one of the biggest that has been seen in this area in a long time.  You could tell those who participated and watched were enjoying themselves.  The golf tournament, junior rodeo, roping, and games and music in the park gave everyone something to do!  After the free BBQ in the park, people converged from all over northeast Wyoming, the Black Hills, and several other states to enjoy the Blackhawk concert at the city baseball diamond.  Approximately 2000 people enjoyed a quality show that featured Crome, a local middle school rock and roll band. Upton’s very own, home grown entertainer, Brock Finn and his band put on a great show that got everyone primed for the main event!  Blackhawk entertained for almost an hour and a half, playing every one of their top ten hits and more.

It was a great celebration!  One worthy of a Centennial Celebration!  Good job Upton!  Congratulations and Happy Birthday!
