Sammie Vance felt a mix of emotions Wednesday night at Promenade Park, where months earlier she created plastic cap murals and unveiled a new buddy bench alongside cast members of a nationwide television show.
Sammie, a 12-year-old Blackhawk Middle School sixth grader, was about to see the result of those few days of filming for “Operation Awesome” in a prime-time premiere on BYUtv. The non-commercial network is owned and operated by Brigham Young University in Utah and focuses on inspiring and uplifting entertainment.
