Sugar City, Idaho: The Dayley Report

  Sugar Days: Sponsors, Vendors, and Volunteers Needed On Saturday, July 9th, we kick off our Sugar Days events with the annual Community Breakfast. This will be followed by a day of events and activities and vendors. We still need your help. We're looking for additional sponsors so the activities and games for the kids can remain free of charge. Also, now's the time for vendors to reserve their booth spot--only $20 or $25 if you need electricity. Please stop in or call city hall to reserve your spot today.  We have room for more volunteers as well. Please let us know if you are able to help with the various activities during the day.

  Arbor Day The city's Tree and Beautification Committee once again did a wonderful job with the Arbor Day Celebration this past Friday.

The pin-looking icons are where the hole/baskets are. The dotted lines would indicate the walking between the tee pads. Some of the walking paths would have to be adjusted due to fencing, etc. When a temporary course was laid out a few weeks ago, 40+ enthusiasts came to try it out. They offered feedback on the course.

I think it would be good for the residents of Sugar City to have another great use for our parks. Individuals, families, church groups, and others would enjoy it, I'm sure. And, the course would undoubtedly attract others to visit our town and businesses. The city has to decide if we can budget in...
