MAYOR’S MONTHLY MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
As you have noticed we have a new logo for Sugar City. I would like to thank Delorum for helping us through the process, and for many of you who expressed your opinions about our city and how the logo should look. The Mayor and City Council are happy to present you with the final result of that work. You can look at the presentation provided by Delorum that will be coming out in the monthly electronic billing, or if not there, it will be posted to the website. This presentation will show the process used in coming up with the logo. Thank you for your help in making this happen.
We had good success with our Sugar Days Celebration held on Saturday, July 21st. The breakfast was attended by about 700 people. This is more than anyone can remember having in the past. I would like to thank Stone’s Town and Country for sponsoring the breakfast. I would also like to thank Vaun Waddell for all the work he put into getting us the food and making sure it went smoothly.
The Mayor and some of the City Council went up in a fire engine and participated in the Pioneer Day Parade in St. Anthony that same morning. We then provided activities for the remainder of the day. It seemed to me that the climbing wall and the bull riding activity were the most popular, but fun was had by all who attended.
There were also some vendors at the celebration, and they seemed to have done well. I would also like to thank those companies and individuals who provided funds as sponsors for the day’s activities, including River Country radio station. A list of those sponsors is in the City Newsletter. We learned a great deal during the planning of this and hope to have an even better and bigger celebration next year. Thanks again for your support.
Sincerely,
David D. Ogden, Mayor
