Help us thank Leroy for his service

LEROY'S LEGACY CELEBRATION

January 10, 2012

4-6 pm

City Council Chambers

Please stop by and help us thank Leroy for over 25 years of service to the City of Sumner. In addition, a community-hosted reception will follow at The Old Cannery, 6:30-7:30 pm, to which all are also invited.

As part of this reception, we'd like to show pictures of Leroy throughout his service. Please send an electronic copy of your favorite picture(s) of Leroy to Carmen Palmer by Friday, January 6. We're especially looking for photos from the 1980s or earlier! We can also use short written sentiments or anecdotes.

Give 'er a spin around the block!

Here's your chance to drive a patrol car, take aim at weapons practice and search out a suspect....all at the 2012 Citizen's Academy.

Festival to continue with changes

The City recently received a letter from the Sumner Arts Festival committee that they no longer will be running a festival in Sumner. We are very thankful to the many Arts Festival volunteers for the countless hours they gave to this community over the past few years.

Looking ahead, still mark your calendar for a festival on August 3-4 this year. Discussions are underway involving local community groups, including the Sumner Arts Commission, the Puyallup-Sumner Chamber of Commerce, the Sumner Downtown Association, City of Sumner and Sumner Rotary on what the new festival will look like. Watch for details soon, and we know it will continue to be a great time!
