Backyards Inc. to Host "Salute Our Troops" Memorial Day Event

May 24, 2010

CLEARFIELD, UTAH — Backyards Inc., the Official Lifetime Products Outlet Store, will host a "Salute Our Troops" Event this Memorial Day on May 31, 2010.  The inaugural event will be held from 10:00am-7:00pm at the Backyards Inc. store located at 5296 South Freeway Park Drive in Riverdale, Utah.

Special Memorial Day activities and promotions will be held only at the Riverdale store location with 5% of proceeds from the Memorial Day sales being donated to the Utah Military Families Foundation (UMFF), a privately-funded non-profit organization headquartered at Hill Air Force Base that supports over 80,000 military families throughout Utah. In addition to donating of a portion of proceeds to the UMFF, Backyards Inc. will also launch a new 10% military discount program -- good for any in-store purchase at all six Backyards Inc. store locations  -- for all active duty, retired, dependent, guard, and reserve military with a valid military ID.

"Hill Air Force Base is a neighbor to our Riverdale store and such an important part of our local community," said Backyards Inc. Manager Nate Ashby.  "This is just a small way for us to give back and honor our local military men and women - and their families - that sacrifice so much for our community and our country."

97.1 FM will broadcast live from the Backyards Inc. Riverdale store for the one-day "Salute Our Troops" Event which will feature activities, contests, product giveaways, and promotions.  Customers of all ages and skill can take a shot in free throw contests to win a Lifetime portable basketball hoop, make a guess to win a Lifetime wheelbarrow, and try an arcade-style basketball challenge to win various prizes and gift certificates.  A special kids' corner will feature treasure digging, coloring, and face painting.

Customers can also enjoy free pizza from 5 Buck Pizza during the event, and will receive a free American stick flag with every purchase made on Memorial Day. In addition, all six Backyards Inc. store locations will offer special Memorial Day discounts, including $500 off on a Lifetime playset. 

"This is going to be a family-friendly event," explained Ashby.  "It's a great opportunity for people to get out and have some fun on Memorial Day and show their support and appreciation for our local troops."
