It seems as though summer just began, and now school is just a few weeks away from starting again.  We have had enough hot weather to remind us that it is summer though.  As you can see from reading the newsletter, we again have some exciting things planned for Chubbuck Days on August 13th and 14th.  I would like to thank many of our area businesses, as well as individuals and organizations, who are assisting in the success of our event this year.  Signs located around the City announcing the celebration have been provided by a partnership with Deloy Stuart and HomeSeekers Magazine.  Norco is providing the balloons.  Mike Shore of Advantage Plus Credit Union is again our parade chairman.  Intermountain Golf Cars and Robert Allen Auto Group are helping with transportation, and Walmart is donating the watermelon again this year.  Ron Conlin, our long time City Clerk who retired this summer, and his wife Jerry are our Grand Marshalls.  A lot of City employees have contributed in various ways, but a special thanks to Wendy Butler and Nelli Simmons who have been invaluable in their contribution to this celebration again this year.  If you see any of these contributors, please give them a special THANK YOU.

I would like to pass on a suggestion from the City water department to those of you who have automatic sprinkler systems.  Our heavy use times for watering, according to our water monitoring computer, are between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Our suggestion is that those with even number addresses could continue on that schedule, and those with odd number addresses could change to Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday watering.  For those who are able to make this adjustment, it should assist us in providing more effective water management for the City during the heat of the summer.  Again, we remind all who water to avoid the heat of the day and to not water between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Enjoy the rest of the summer.  Drive carefully on your vacation travels, so you can make it safely back to Chubbuck -THE GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND DO BUSINESS.
