51st Marigold Days a Success


September 12, 2016
2016 Marigold Days:
The 51st Annual Marigold Days celebration was this last weekend and once again it was a huge success. I would like to thank everyone that worked on any of the events this past weekend. The Marigold Days Committee, the MRA, the Field of Flags committee, The Mantorville Fire Department, The VFW, The Congregational Church, The Car Show organizers, the live performers, the Fireworks, all of our many vendors and supporters and everyone else that made this weekend possible. With out your efforts this event would not happen so THANK YOU! I have uploaded a few snap shots I took during the weekend. The photos can be seen on my blog at MayorBradford.BlogSpot.com

Stage Coach Days:
The EDA is organizing a new subcommittee much like the one we have that organizes Marigold Days celebration. The kick off of the new committee will be held at the Hubble House on September 18th at 4:00 pm. There will be some hors d’oeuvres and beverages provided by the EDA. We are planning on having a person that has had a great deal of success in organizing and motivating volunteers to speak to the group about some possible approaches to make this group successful. This article is an open invitation to anyone that would be interested in helping with next years Stage Coach Days to come see what this might involve and get more information with helping out with a city function. I am really looking forward to seeing many new faces.

Still looking for one more EDA Commissioner:
If your interest are more aligned with promoting tourism and our business climate here in Mantorville the EDA does still have one position open. The City Council on Monday approved the appointment of one new commissioner that was forwarded from the EDA to the City Council and with the next appointment the Economic Development Authority will be at full strength. Please consider applying for this rewarding opportunity.

Thank you again for participating in this years Marigold Days weather you just came down to look or if your were involved with helping out.

Yours in service,

Chuck Bradford,
Mayor - City of Mantorville
