Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting
On Tuesday, December 6 hundreds of Blue Springs residents joined me to light the Mayor's Christmas tree outside of City Hall.
We enjoyed a few cheery tunes from Cordill-Mason Elementary Cougar Choir, Franklin Smith Elementary Treble Makers and Sunny Pointe Elementary Puma Pride Singers.
Families enjoyed visiting Mr. and Mrs. Clause and attendees had the chance to meet area mascots.
I would like to thank Pete Grigsby from the
Blue Springs School District for joining me and a special thanks to Kim Nakahodo, Assistant to the Blue Springs City Administrator, and her family for helping me flip the switch to light this year's Christmas tree. We were also joined this year by KMBC who shared in our celebration after the tree was lit. Big thanks to them for coming out!
Finally, I want to recognize council members Dale Carter, Kent Edmondson, Susan Culpepper and Chris Lievsay,with his wife and children, who joined me this year.
You can also view the performance in its entirety below:

Spirit of Caring Concert
Attendees had the chance to enjoy Blue Springs Elementary School choirs, soloists, bands, ensembles and more! We also heard a few words from Melodie Chrisman, CSL- Blue Springs Site Manager.
Even better, all
proceeds from this event benefited the CSL-Blue Springs Office and their efforts to provide necessary care items, emergency assistance and economic stability coaching to community members in need.
