~ Another Successful First Town Days Festival

For the 47th consecutive year, the First Town Days Festival Committee members did another awesome job of giving us a celebration to remember at Tuscora Park. It was great to see families enjoying all the festival’s events. The Grand Parade was one of the best ever. The Marching Quaker Band alumni were a huge hit. The City Slickers beat the County Terminators 21 to 1 to win the annual City-County softball game. I want to congratulate Coach Chaz Willet for assembling another team of sluggers who work for the City. The park was filled for Saturday night’s fireworks display. And the quality of entries in Sunday’s car show made it very tough to pick the trophy winners. I want to thank the sponsors of this year’s First Town Days Festival events. We are grateful for your support of the festival and our community.

~ Work is Progressing on the Relocation of the Taxiway at Harry Clever Field

The project to relocate the taxiway at Harry Clever Field is over 50 percent completed. According to the construction schedule, this month the new taxiway will be paved, and the dirt areas seeded and mulched. The taxiway will be opened by the end of the month and new electrical wiring and lighting will be installed. The schedule calls for completion of the project by the end of August. Notice to Aviators (NOTAMS) are being posted during the construction period to let flyers know about runway closures.

~ Tuscora Park’s Pickleball Courts are Closed for Resurfacing

The pickleball courts at Tuscora Park will be closed for the next two weeks for resurfacing. Vasco Asphalt is applying a new topcoat to the court surfaces in keeping with the Parks Department’s maintenance schedule. It’s going to take around a week and a half for the resurfacing to cure before play can resume. The reopening date should be Monday, July 22nd. Check the City’s page for updates.
