There were also booths which provided snow cones, pop, and suckers for the kids. Each booth and the swim only cost the children a quarter. This yearly event was sponsored by the Womens Service League. The organization has been in the Uintah Basin for over forty years and strives to work on a community improvement program. Each year the group gets together and votes on which project they will do. "We hope to earn 200 to 300 dollars", said Tammy Haslem.
