Lapp Electric Turns 50 – Week 16 (Hit or Miss, Breakfast & Positive Attitude

In honor of this past Sunday being Easter, we decided to do some research to find out when Easter occurred in 1969.

In our research, we found that Easter was celebrated on April 6th, 1969.

Prior to 1969, Easter was observed on April 6th in 1958 and 1947.

Since 1969, Easter has been celebrated once on April 6th and that was in 1980.

The next time that Easter will be observed on April 6th is 2042. That is another 23 years! How old will you be in 2042?

During 2019, we are looking back at the year 1969…the year Lapp Electric was founded, to find out some of the things that were happening and what life was like. Our year-long celebration of sharing memories of the past 50 years via social media are also being summarized in posts each week on our blog.

If you did not have a chance, be sure to check out last week’s post:

For a company that averages over 2500 jobs a year, picking out 52 job sites may be a challenge, but we look forward to sharing with you some memorable jobs over the past 50 years. 

Do you remember the Hit or Miss Clothing store at Park City? 

Check out these pictures from a lighting project we did there in the early years of Lapp Electric’s history.

52 Memories of 50 Years

In 2014, we started the tradition of what we call our “Pre-Easter Breakfast.”

This breakfast takes place the Thursday before Good Friday.

This is a chance for us to thank the Lapp Electric Team members for all their hard work and dedication and is our way of enjoying an Easter meal together as a “family”.
