Supermart owner Ed Dailey said he lowered gas prices for the annual Light Up the Town Sunday night.

Dailey said he sold gas for $2.29 a gallon for the entire length of the event. Gas prices are lowered at the Supermart on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas because Dailey said he likes to give back to the community.

Customers said they appreciate the low prices and Dailey said he normally lowers gas prices on Christmas, too.
