Show Low schedules May 2 celebration for 72nd city anniversary
Summary
Mayor John Leach Jr. and city staff member Grace Payne announced a May 2 event at Frontier Field in Show Low with free food, activities for children and two live bands; organizers gave inconsistent end times in the announcement.
Mayor John Leach Jr. and city staff member Grace Payne announced that Show Low will mark its 72nd city anniversary with a community celebration on May 2 at Frontier Field in Show Low, featuring free food, children’s activities and two live bands.
Payne said the event will include free burgers and hot dogs, desserts and activities for children. “It’s gonna be absolutely fantastic,” Payne said, and encouraged residents to “join us on May 2.” Mayor John Leach Jr. added, “This is free. Come out and celebrate with us.”
Organizers said there will be two live bands and that the first 250 attendees will receive a free prize. In one portion of the announcement, the event time was given as “from 5 to 9:30” p.m.; later in the remarks the time was stated as “from 5 to 9” p.m. The city announcement did not resolve the discrepancy.
The remarks opened with Leach identifying Payne as joining him to discuss the city anniversary; Payne supplied most event details. The short announcement ended with Leach offering a closing blessing and a reminder of the date and venue.
Details not specified in the announcement include whether parking or additional vendor services will be provided, whether the free food is first-come, first-served beyond the 250-prize note, and whether any permits or road closures will accompany the event.
