Editor,
Thank you to the Valley Cruisers Car Club and Sharon Procopio with the Mission Valley Rodeo for being at the June 21 City Council meeting and letting the council know how important it is for our Main Street to be fixed before the busy tourist season.
By having your facts and comments stated, it showed the council how much money events like the Cherry Festival, Hoopfest, Art in the Park and others bring into this community.
It’s not just about the Main Street businesses, but also the hotels, campgrounds, gas stations, restaurants and other businesses that rely on our tourists and locals to help us all prosper.
Also, thanks to the businesses that donated anywhere between $25 and $100 to go toward getting Main Street fixed. The council gave us our money back and said they would pay to patch the entire street. The Valley Cruisers told us to keep their $100 and put it toward the Armed Forces Memorial Staircase.
This shows us that by working together, we can make a difference.
