Memorial Day

The Memorial Day ceremony in Casa Grande was great. Please remember to keep the spirit of patriotism throughout the year. Freedom isn't free.
Tonight the annual sunset ceremony will be held in Avondale at the amphitheater. It will be a beautiful night.

Kearny Pioneer Days Parade

On Saturday, Kearny celebrated its Pioneer Days with a parade and carnival. It was a gorgeous day with the mountain scenery and the spring wildflowers in bloom. Janice and I had an opportunity to ride in the parade and I got to stop along the route to hand out candy to "kids" of all ages. Congratulations Kearny on another great event!
