Quote of the Week
This Week in History
On May 8, 1945, both Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, put out flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the Nazi war machine.
Depot Awarded
During their May 7 meeting, the City Council awarded the bid for the repair of the historic Train Depot to HC Brock Co.  The City received two bids during the last request round.  The award is set to complete a majority of the remaining work on the Depot, restoring the entire outside, freight platform, and majority of the inside.

Construction is set to begin on June 2, and will last between 6-8 months.  A partnership of public and private funding has helped spur the renovations - the majority coming from a federal highways grant.  The Friends of the Depot continue to solicit donations to help maintain the operations of the Depot once complete. 
Festival Season

History Lesson
Do you have historical photos of Kingsburg?  Are you willing to share?  We'd love to see what you have so we can share those with our fellow citizens through our communication platforms. 

Showing the history of Kingsburg helps tell the story of how the City has come to be, and evolved over the years.  If you're willing to share, please send photos to Alex Henderson, or stop by City Hall. 
A Fine Addition
Get out to Coffee Pot Park and see the great new addition of playground equipment.  The equipment was generously donated by a number of community members and groups, including:
  • Rotary Club of Kingsburg
  • RJ Berry, Inc.  
  • Coddington & Associates  
  • Sandra Torosian  

We want to extend our thanks to the donors and all those who worked to get the equipment installed.  Enjoy!
