Thank you to everyone who came out to our 1st Annual Lowrider Car Show on Saturday. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces, listening to music by Mexicanismo Mariachi https://mariachimexicanisimo.com/ (which was outstanding!) and the sounds of DJ Jeff Brown, 104.9 FM. Thank you to all of the classic car show owners that came out and to all of our sponsors who supported this event. Hoping to make this a Clayton tradition for years to come!

I just want to thank everyone who helped support and volunteer for this past season's Concerts in the Grove! Because of you, we had another very successful year and we were able to share some of that success with the Parent Faculty Club (PFC) for Mt. Diablo Elementary School, who had volunteers at each concert helping raise funding for the bands and their school.

I also want to thank Mayor Jim Diaz, for his continued hard work in keeping the Concert series going for 17 years! Thank you also to Prime Time Entertainment, our promoter this year, and to everyone on our city staff who pitched in to make this year a success.

Looking forward to our 18th season and we're already lining up the entertainment for next year. Please share your feedback with me from this season and any suggestions you have for 2025! You may reach me at 925.673.7324 or kimt@claytyonca.gov.

Thank you again to the Contra Costa Fire Protection District, the City of Clayton and everyone who participated in yesterday's Annual Fallen Firefighter and 9/11 Memorial Service held at Station 11. It's hard to believe that it's been 23 years since 9/11 occurred and important to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
