PRECorp resurrects walking taco booth for Rally Wednesday

After a four-year absence from the corner of the Crook County Courthouse lawn, the Burnout Wednesday Walking Taco Booth is returning to Sundance at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, August 9.

For more than 15 years, Powder River Energy employees have raised funds for local charities through its booth in downtown Sundance. From 2019 through 2022, the project was absent from the festivities for a variety of reasons.

“We were experiencing a shortage of volunteers, then COVID-19 hit. It was a little sad to not see the walking taco booth prominently on the corner of Main and Third Street,” says booth co-chair Steph Pribilske.

“We started gathering interest and a core group of volunteers over the winter and we’re ready to make a go of it again in 2023.”

The booth will feature the same menu of a bag of nacho chips, hot taco fixings and bottled water. Food pricing is to be determined, but Pribilske is forecasting it to be “the best lunch in town,” on August 9.

PRECorp hopes to raise enough funds to be able to make significant donations to three designated recipients for this year’s effort: Crook County Long Term Care, Crook County Hospice (CCMSD) and Kid Prints, Inc. daycare.

“These three non-profit entities provide critical services to families in the Sundance and Crook County area, and, with the community’s assistance, we are eager to help them out as much as possible,” Pribilske says.

Adding to the volunteerism of Powder River Energy (PRECorp) employees, the Powder River Energy Foundation has pledged to match funds raised, dollar-for-dollar – doubling the impact of the booth. Thank you to the community in advance for stopping by the booth on August 9 to enjoy a tasty lunch and support these three non-profit organizations. The hours are 11 a.m. until the food runs out.

Established in 2007, the Powder River Energy Foundation has driven more than $2 million back to the communities in Campbell, Crook, Johnson, Sheridan and Weston counties.
