Greetings!
Hello and welcome to News Happenings Around Town, your

Fall is full of great events here in Blue Springs. This weekend,

We have officially begun our The Wall That Heals countdown!
The Wall will arrive at Pink Hill Park on Tuesday, September 28. I
hope that you will join us in celebrating The Wall's arrival by
flying a flag or joining us along the parade route.
It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing the retirement
of Detective Troy Pharr from the Blue Springs Police Department on
September 17. Pharr has been with Blue Springs for over 31 years
and currently serves as the department's Public Information

I thank Troy for his years of outstanding service to this
community and wish him well in his retirement. Good luck
Troy!
As always, please continue sharing this timely publication and
spreading the word about what's good and going on in the City of
