"Everyone comes home for Strawberry Days" is the theme for the city celebration that begins in Pleasant Grove on Sunday.

Whitney Merrifield , Miss Pleasant Grove 2007-2008, has been busy working to serve the residents of Pleasant Grove through her platform "Building Bridges through Cultural Understanding."

The 2008-2009 proposed city budget was presented to the Lindon City Council June 4 as a public hearing issue on the agenda.

Concert in the Park -- Strawberry Days opens this year with the lively toe-tapping, hand-clapping music of Bluegrass Thunder. The free concert, one in the Sunday evening "Concerts in the Park" series, will be Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held outdoors on the east lawn of the Pleasant Grove Rec. Center on the corner of 100 East and 200 South.

Pleasant Grove resident Sam Harrison went snowboarding on Feb. 24 and did not come home for three months. He caught more air than he thought on a hill, landed on his head and ended up in the hospital paralyzed from the sternum down. He and his wife Ashley have been married for three years and have a son, Benjamin, who was just six weeks old at the time.

Before last weekend, everything I knew about tornados I learned from watching "Twister" and "The Wizard of Oz."

City Council members discussed a possible pay raise at last week's Work Session and at Tuesday's City Council meeting, ultimately deciding to delay any possible change until the next fiscal year.

Pleasant Grove's City Council approved new fees for the city's new recreation center at a recent City Council meeting. Jay Dee Nielsen, Recreation Manager, presented the proposed fees to the Council.
