Community Celebrates Despite Rain at Annual Parade

During a recent government meeting, community members reflected on a successful local event, despite some weather challenges. Ryan noted that the parade down Main Street was well-attended, with many enjoying the festivities, including children who turned bounce houses into slip and slides due to the rain. The rain ceased just in time for the water fights, adding to the enjoyment of the day.

Looking ahead, Cody announced plans for the upcoming Heritage Day on July 4th, which will run from 9 AM to 4 PM. The event will feature train rides, mine tours, outdoor games, and indoor activities at the museum, all with free admission. Cody emphasized that the day's events would not conflict with the evening fireworks, encouraging community participation.

The meeting also included updates from various committees. The tourism committee report was briefly mentioned, though Kathy was absent for further details. The Housing Authority Board reported on recent activities, while the Library Board faced staffing challenges due to an employee's absence. Bob provided an exciting update from the Airport Commission, revealing plans for a flight club at the airport, in collaboration with Southwestern High School, which aims to engage local youth in aviation activities.

Overall, the meeting highlighted community engagement through events and ongoing initiatives, fostering a sense of connection and support among residents.
