Tuesday I had the opportunity to go before the Orem City Council and present the 2011 Orem City float, parade trophies.
The Orem City Council meets every other Tuesday at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of the Orem City Building. The public is always welcome and this meeting was well attended.
The council is made up of the Orem City Mayor, Jim Evans, and 6 council members, Mark Seastrand, Margaret Black, Karen McCandless, Mary Street, Brent Sumner, and Hans Anderson. At this meeting the city manager, Bruce Chestnut, was also in attendance. It has been my great opportunity and pleasure to come to know these amazing public servants. They do so much for our community.
This year the Orem City parade float was awarded FIVE prestigious awards. The first was the Springville GRAND PRIZE award.
On the same day we were awarded the Orem Summerfest BEST OF PARADE. That is very meaningful to me since I have been attending the Orem Summerfest parade every year since the age of three and had always privately dreamed of being a princess on a float.
In July, at the Freedom Festival Parade in Provo, we were awarded the MAYOR'S AWARD. Thanks Mayor Curtis!
At the Days of 47 Parade in Salt Lake City we were awarded the GOVENOR'S AWARD. In this parade, out of all the city floats, there are only TWO awards presented, and we received one of them.
And for the first time ever we received an award at the BYU Parade, the PRESIDENT'S AWARD. All the trophies will be on display for the coming year in the foyer of the Orem City Building. Stop by and check them out. Special thanks to the City of Orem for being so incredibly supportive of the Miss Orem Organization.
I can't help but mention that at this City Council meeting the Orem High School Basketball Team was recognized for winning the 4A Championship. Go TIGERS!Love, Hannah Harkness
