We love a parade in Nebraska
fourth of july parade

Black Hills Energy was honored to be a part of the Gibbon, Nebraska, Chamber of Commerce Fourth of July parade!

Staff and their families from the Kearney, Nebraska, office enjoyed being a part of this long-standing annual tradition. A Black Hills Energy car, service truck and go-kart van were among more than 100 entries in the parade, which follows a two-mile route through the town of about 1,900 residents.

Our employees and their families had a great time tossing out candy and Black Hills Energy goodies, from flying discs to koozies, to help celebrate Independence Day.

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. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
