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. Finally, we are planning on having the Community Talent Showcase again this year. Please contact city hall and get signed up with your act or performance.

  Arbor Day The city's Tree and Beautification Committee once again did a wonderful job with the Arbor Day Celebration this past Friday. The wind was harsh, but the kids were great, and Neibaur Park got a great new tree. The winning pictures from the children's Arbor Day art contest will be displayed at city hall. Stop by and check them out. Sugar Days (July 9th) Sugar Days and the Community Breakfast is only two months away! Drop by city hall and reserve your vendor slot for only $20. We're also looking for sponsors for our activities, including bounce house-type events, climbing wall, and prizes for the kids. If you or your business can donate, please contact us. We need your help each year. We're also looking for volunteers to help plan and run the activities--a great opportunity for families, church groups, civic groups, and others to help out the community.

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.

And, the course would undoubtedly attract others to visit our town and businesses. The city has to decide if we can budget in
