The four-day event brings kids and sponsors from all over the region to Clarendon and is an excellent recruiting event for the college in addition to being an economic boost to the community.

Downed transmission poles east of Clarendon plunged the city into darkness about 10 p.m. last Thursday night as high winds followed a heavy thunderstorm. AEP / Southwestern Electric Power Co. spokesman Tony Barley said an insulator on the city’s backup feed from Jericho failed cutting off power from that direction, and crews were being dispatched to fix that when they saw the flash from this wreck. Power was restored to the city after 2 a.m., but several Greenbelt Rural Electric Cooperative customers remained without power until Saturday afternoon since the downed lines connect with the cooperative’s substation outside the city.
