WestFest

In my humble estimation this year's WestFest was outstanding. The entertainment and various entries in the talent show was exceptional, the food was just as diverse and tasty, and the parade and fireworks just keep getting better. It was also full of information and offers from local groups and businesses. My sincere thanks goes out to the members of the WestFest committee for their dedication and hard work. They represent our city well and do an excellent job of pulling together all aspects of this celebration. Not to mention that this is West Valley city's 30th anniversary and so their was extra work and increased expectations.

Emily and I also had a memorable time supervising a number of kids as we explored the carnival section of WestFest. The area was open and well maintained for the number of people scurrying between rides and games. Deepest condolences to the friends and family of Carl Nutsch.

I am looking forward to an even bigger and better WestFest 2011. There will be plenty of opportunities to participate and enjoy our community.
