Winter of  2007-2008 saw over $17,000 in vouche  rs redeemed by children in the community for new coats, boots and gloves. Vouchers are distributed to families identified by principals and teachers from local elementary schools. Parents take their children to the local K-Mart store and let them pick the coat of their choice, which is paid for with the voucher.

With the tremendous support of local businesses, including the generosity of sponsors Burt Brother’s Tires, participants register cars, purchase food and drinks, or participate in the drawings, games and contests, while the money goes directly to children.

Friday Night the Cruisin’ and Street Party begin at 6:30 along old Historic Main Street and ends at 10:00 pm. Cars will be displayed along the street and there will be a variety of activities for the whole family, including a continuous Main Street Cruise, lots of good food, a pie eating contest sponsored by Marie Calendar’s, a climbing wall, and live music by the “Go Dog Go” Band. “We thought we’d add a little excitement this year,“ said Ron Burt, “by sponsoring a Tire Burnout contest.” Many Bountiful Street merchants will be open for business with specials just for the evening’s activities.

This years event is Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14, 2008. Online registration is at www.bountifulrotary.com or by calling Chris at 292-6141 or John at 856-9897.
