Greetings!
Hello and welcome to News Happenings Around Town, your one-stop source for City information and news updates, including those items most important to you.As you look around the City, signs of a new season are all around us. Tulips are beginning to break ground, the grass is starting to green and residents are out and about enjoying our beautiful parks system... all of which are signs that positive activity is taking place in our community.
Spring is a special season, as it tends to signify a time of rejuvenation, rebirth and innovation. In Blue Springs, the spring season means more than just a change in the weather, but it is also a reminder of our city's commitment to serve our residents to the best of our ability, each and every day.
Summer is around the corner and our Parks and Recreation Department is running an Early Bird Discount on Centennial Pool-Plex tickets. Order your tickets in March and receive 15% off, click here for more details.
As always, please continue sharing this timely publication and spreading the word about what's good and going on in the City of Blue Springs.
