Councilmembers promote Pierce County Fair, Fircrest centennial and note national recognition of county juvenile-justice work
Summary
Councilmembers used the July 15 meeting’s other-business section to invite colleagues and the public to the Pierce County Fair on Aug. 10, to note Fircrest’s 100th anniversary events, and to report that Pierce County received recognition at the National Association of Counties conference for juvenile-justice work.
During the July 15 Pierce County Council meeting members used the other-business portion of the agenda to highlight upcoming community events and to share an outside recognition.
Councilman McRever said he had tickets to share for the Pierce County Fair, which runs Aug. 10, and encouraged members and staff to make plans to attend. He noted the fair will again feature mechanical rides this year after reduced attractions during the pandemic and described last year’s scavenger hunt as “quite entertaining.”
Councilmember Ayala announced Fircrest’s centennial celebration and invited the public to a centennial parade on Friday at 10 a.m. He noted the technical birthday falls in September but said events would take place that weekend.
A council member also reported on the National Association of Counties (NACo) conference they attended the prior week. The speaker said Pierce County received a shout-out during a panel — and that NACo will host an event in Pierce County focused on the county’s juvenile-justice work — highlighting that other jurisdictions are interested in learning from Pierce County’s approaches and outcomes.
These remarks were made under ‘‘other business’’ and were informational; no formal council actions or votes resulted from the announcements.
