Greetings!
It is official between the July 4th Parade and the City staff working on the City Budget for the next fiscal year, Summer Time is here! Before we move on, there is always need to pause and celebrate. For those of you who could not make the July 4th Independence Day Parade, although there is nothing like being at a parade, you can still see some of the celebration and some of the events that happened.
