The volunteer spirit of Sugar City

 

Getting Involved

City Meetings

It was great to see quite a few people at our City Council Meeting last Thursday. 

We had a great presentation regarding raising money for some new tennis courts--more on this in the future. Great job Sicily Clay.

We had some there to express a concern about an issue in their neighborhood.

We had some presentations related to our new water system and the closing of the bond for our new system. The city begins making payments on the loan now.

We heard the audit report for last fiscal year--a few minor processes to improve, but all is well with the city's finances.

We heard from the developers of Old Farm Estates, who presented a new development agreement and master plan proposal--more on this in the future.

It's wonderful to have engagement from the residents and businesses in Sugar City. More would be even better.

Volunteers Needed

We are need of people to help with a number of committees and projects. For example, the 4th of July parade in Rexburg is this Saturday. The city's float committee is doing a great job and needs some more help, including tomorrow evening (6/29) to do some work on the float.

We have Sugar Days coming up in less than two weeks. We are still in need of volunteers to help us run the various games and activities. We are also looking for more performers to give us a great talent show. And we are need of more food and merchandise or crafts vendors to make it a great day.

We need your help. The community events and activities are only as good as we all make them. Individuals, families, and groups are invited to participate. Please contact city hall at 356-7561 or email me at gdayley@sugarcityidaho.gov to volunteer or sign up or for more information.

  Sugar Days 2025 Sugar Days is one week away! We hope everyone in our community can come out and enjoy the family-friendly day in Heritage park. I'd like to highlight a few things: The Historical Society will be hosting a silent auction as a fund raiser for their continuing goal to fund a new museum. Please stop by their booth. Grand Teton Farm and Mill (ancientgrains.com) is sponsoring a 5-minute Teton Dam Flood Memories Project. A group of BYU-Idaho students will be hosting brief interviews with people who have memories to share about the flood. The booth will be set up next to the Historical Society's space, so please come by and get your memories recorded for posterity. At 10am at the city's tent, we'll be presenting awards for the Citizen of the Year (Kevin Miyasaki) and Public Servant of the Year Award (Lynsey Bean). Please come and congratulate Kevin and Lynsey for this well-deserved recognition! Planning & Zoning Commission Vacancy We're looking for a n...

USS Idaho; Sugar Days; City Budget 2025-26; Population Change in ID; Happy Independence Day!

  I recently heard a presentation on the upcoming commissioning of the newest nuclear submarine in the US Navy, the USS Idaho. As the Commissioning Committee's website says: The future USS IDAHO SSN 799 is a leading-edge Virginia Class nuclear-powered fast attack submarine being built by General Dynamics Electric Boat in Connecticut. She was christened in March 2024, and is likely to be commissioned into the Navy fleet during the spring of 2026. It was fascinating to hear about all of the attention to detail that goes into making this sub truly representative of our great state. The Committee is accepting artistic, original, iconic Idaho works to be included in the interior of the sub, such as photographs and paintings. If you or someone you know would like to have work considered, please go to their website for more information . It would be quite an honor to have your work accepted.  The expected life of the sub is 35 years. Sugar Days 2025 Thanks for another great Sugar Day...

Teton Dam: 5-Minute Histories; Sugar Days; City Parks Long-Term Planning

Teton Dam: 5-Minute Histories Project It's been 49 years since the devastating flood did its best to wipe Sugar City off the map. In the summer of 2026, there will be a big commemoration in Rexburg, Sugar City, and the surrounding areas. The multi-day commemoration will include lectures and museum events, bus and walking tours in Rexburg and Sugar City, and shuttles out to the newly improved facilities at the dam site, etc. (This photo, taken after the flood waters had receded, is looking east on 3rd North in Sugar. The old sugar factory and the WWII POW camp building can be seen in the left corner.) This year, as part of our Sugar Days 2025 celebration, we're going to have a booth set up for residents who remember the flood to drop in and record up to a five-minute video in which they share their memories of that fateful time. We invite all who would like to participate. Sugar Days 2025 Speaking of Sugar Days, we invite all residents, sponsors, and vendors to put Saturday June...
