Editorial summary for April 25, 2021: In Green River | an event in June is required columnists

Here are some editorial opinions from across the state:

A June event is required in Green River

8 April Green River Star

We will not criticize the decision to postpone the Flaming Gorge Days. While other organizations are busy planning summer events, we understand the idea of ​​not wanting to host Flaming Gorge Days because of the pandemic. We told our readers months ago about the possibility of events being canceled for a second year. It wasn’t unexpected.

However, we believe there should be something for the residents of Sweetwater County in Green River this coming June.

With Zac Page’s visit to Green River City Council on Tuesday night, we think a cornhole tournament and other events in the area would go well together. Cornhole, a game anyone ages three to 103 years old can play, would be a great place to go to get people started. The game already has distance built into its design, which means social distancing can easily be incorporated into a competition, especially in an outdoor setting like Expedition Island. Take into account other activities and food and it could be a decent draw.

We hope the city and the 307 Cornhole group can plan and host an event for Green River. The planning window may be tight as we are already in April, but we believe it is possible.

Who knows? Maybe what happens to it can be added to Flaming Gorge Days next year.

We wish everyone involved the best of luck in bringing something new to the residents of Green River.
