Governors Days officially kicks off on Thursday night, June 10, with the kids pedal tractor pull by Ohana Pedal Pullers at 5 p.m. You can also enjoy the entertain-ment garden, which will be open this year on Thursday for the first time from 6-10 p.m. Be sure to also visit the Business eXpo there from 6-8 p.m.
The eXpo features more than 30 businesses with booths full of information, activities, and some free-bies. Families can walk around, visit and maybe learn something new about a business they may drive by every day. For those 21 and older, there will be the option to purchase drink tickets and have a cold beverage while
visiting with the vendors.Don’t miss the family-friendly event that everyone
loves — the kiddie parade, starting at 6:30 p.m. and featuring the Isiserretes. Held on Main Street, it’s a great way to showcase the improvements of the Governor’s District and get more Grimes residents and visitors downtown. Kids are encouraged to dress up in their favorite costume or one to go with the theme this year — “Decades.”
After the parade, check out the carnival and ride all the rides you can for $25 with Sam’s Amusements. Craft and food vendors will also be open from 6-10 p.m.

operational costs to be phased in over five years starting in fiscal year 2023.Where will the money come from?The property was purchased by the City for $750,000 from 2019 General
Operating (GO) funds. The City Council has committed $8 million towards construction costs: $1 million from 2020GO, $3 million from 2021GO, and $4 million from 2021 Local Option Sales and Services Tax (L.O.S.S.T.) funds. All other monies needed to complete the project will need to be fundraised. Taxes will not be raised to fund this new facility.

The GVSS Yard Patrol coordinator is looking for six to eight volunteers to help with the current mowing season. Clients provide gas and lawnmowers. You provide your time. All interested volunteers should call or visit the GVSS office, 404 S.E. Second St., Suite 100, Grimes, or go online at www.grimesvss.com com to get the application. Louise Hauger will be contacting folks who received mowing and yard service last year.
If you’ve thought about volunteering for GVSS, give them a call at 515-986-5355. They’ve had several years of experience in utilizing employed volunteers.

Several weeks ago, I mentioned that you could expect to find some changes soon to your Living Weekly publication. Well, as you hopefully have noticed, that time is now.
You may recall that we changed the name from the Grimes Adviser to the Grimes/Dallas Center Living Weekly in an effort to co-brand the publication with our monthly Grimes/Dallas Center Living magazine. This allows us to publish news and advertising more frequently and in an even more timely manner.
Starting with this issue, we switched to a folded format in the print edition, allowing us to add more pages as needed. This also provides a more mobile-friendly layout for those of you who subscribe to the email edition and view on your phones and computers.
You will also notice that we have added photos to the layout rather than the text-only versions we have done in the past. And, of course, we are printing it all in full color.
If you run a business and would
like to have free copies of the Grimes/Dallas Center Living Weekly available in your operation, simply contact Patrick Clemmons at 515-953-4822, ext. 304 or [email protected], and we will add you to our list.
If you have news items or photos to submit, contact Tammy Pearson at 515-953-4822, ext. 302 or [email protected].
If you would like to place a free classified ad (up to 50 words), send to Beckham Miller at [email protected].
If you would like information on placing display advertising in Grimes/Dallas Center Living Weekly, contact Dan Juffer at 515-371-2290 or [email protected].
And if you have any other thoughts, ideas or suggestions, please contact me from the information below.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve you, and, as always, I thank you for reading.
