BULLHEAD CITY – Last Sunday, Bullhead City turned 40, and the city spared no expense in celebrating that. Community Park was the site chosen for the Big Bash and Big it was. DOT Foods donated enough free food for the first 2,500 people, which lasted most of the day. The city set up giant pop-up water slides for the kids, the Splash Pad was in full effect, the city offered 40% off lawn chairs pop ups and other ways to relax in the mild weather that was right in time for the party, and thousands of Bullhead residents and folks from the tri-state took full advantage of the event to enjoy a fun-filled day in Bullhead.
DJ Loki was on hand spinning hits for the crowd that just kept growing throughout the day and the Colorado River saw a massive amount of activity as boaters, swimmers and Sea Doo rentals went through the roof with folks riding the water from morning ‘til night.
The evening kept the pace going as the Spazmatics returned for an open-air concert, while on the river there was a water jet display showcasing the modern technology that has captured water enthusiasts of late.
The evening closed out with a full-on fireworks display the city put on for the appropriate sendoff to such an auspicious occasion.
