Can you believe it? Summer is already waving goodbye. <\/strong>What a great city summer we are having. From Tuesday food trucks at Ron Wood Park, to the Western Stampede, to swimming at the outdoor pool, so many West Jordan activities, and now the school bells are about to ring in a brand-new school year! While the days of sunshine and bicycling trips may be winding down, this transition offers us perfect opportunities to focus on something that makes our city truly special\u2014community awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we juggle our jobs, family time, and those last summer barbecues, let’s not forget the simple yet powerful ways we can look out for each other.

Speaking of connections, the fun isn\u2019t over yet!<\/strong> Some exciting events are still lined up to close out the year with a bang\u2014literally, as in the case of our \u200bdemolition derby\u200b<\/a>! Don’t miss out on the \u200bmonster truck and motocross rally\u200b<\/a>, our \u200bFirst Friday concert series\u200b<\/a>, \u200bcommunity markets\u200b<\/a>, and so much more. If you want to keep your calendar packed with local fun, head over to \u200bwestjordan.utah.gov\/calendar \u200b<\/a>and add upcoming events straight to your personal calendar.
