The G.O.A.T.

Greatest Of All Time
In September, we’ve hired a team of professional weed eaters to help us clear the weeds and brush from Eagle Park. We know this team to be the best in the business at their job, because taking care of weeds is their favorite thing to do.
Who is the G.O.A.T. at weed clearing? Actual goats. Yes, these goats will munch and chomp until the cows come home, or the goats in this case.
We expect the goats to be on-site, moving from campsite to campsite, for about 2 weeks. They will be kept in livestock fenced areas to ensure they don’t wander too far. We don’t advise getting to close to the fences - it could be shocking. Trails through the park will remain open for foot and bicycle traffic, but please no vehicles.

Rexburg! 🎉 We are so excited to “Celebrate Youth” with you and Madison School District #321 today at Porter Park! It’s one of the biggest community traditions of the year, and we can’t wait to see families and students come together to kick off the school year. 🍎✏️

That said… sometimes life throws us lemons (or in this case, a few construction cones). 🚧 Road work unexpectedly began today alongside Porter Park on S 2nd W. While this wasn’t communicated to City teams ahead of time to avoid this scenario, we’re making lemonade of it together. That section of the road is reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. With that in mind, avoiding that area as much as possible is advised, particularly during today's event, which is from 2-7 pm.

👉 Please allow yourself extra time when heading to the event and watch for construction and community traffic that will be heavy in the area.

An alternative to consider, the school district is offering two shuttles for convenient parking and transportation from the Junior High and Middle School parking lots. 🚍

Thank you for your patience, positivity, and community spirit. We’ll make lemonade out of this one, Rexburg style! 💛 See you at the park!

The elephant in the sanitation room these days...“That Guy.”
We all know them…someone who thinks “if the mattress fits, it sits.” They dump their smelly, old couch where it doesn’t belong and act like they own the parking lot, leaving their vehicles in unmarked places, blocking dumpsters like it’s a trend.

“That Guy’s” actions can be dumpster fires for everyone. In the case of dumpsters, they don’t get dumped!

Furniture and mattresses in dumpsters aren’t just taboo; they cause big problems for the sanitation team, from truck damage to excessive route times. And if sanitation drivers can’t reach dumpsters or there are unallowed items in there, they can’t take out the trash!

So don’t be “That Guy.”
And if you know “That Guy,” help us out and spread the word.
We’re asking everyone to help keep this sanitation operation...sanitary. Because no one wants to be around a mountain of trash thanks to “That Guy”.

We're so excited for the Rexburg 4th of July parade to sprinkle some star-spangled cheer on our streets this week! A heads-up: if you start decorating City property—like parks, sidewalks, streets, or alleys—with things like blankets, chairs, or coolers before 6:00 pm on July 3rd, our City crews will turn it into a game of finders keeprs, collecting your goodies to stash away until you can retrie them after the holiday. Keeping it festive and fun is kind and courteous to all the parade goers, and as always, be safe. Keep little firecrackers (and big ones, too) out of the street at all times during the parade; that Tootsie Roll can wait! We also recommend bringing your sunscreen and water bottles to avoid getting overheated. Nobody likes a passed-out passerby. Once the confetti settles, head over to Porter Park for exciting activities and delicious food waiting for your arrival! The Party in the Park is sure to keep the spirit going all day long! We can't wait to celebrate this holiday with you! We have to give a special shout-out to the @Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce for dedicating their tireless efforts to making these two events happen. Their commitment to our community is truly commendable. We’re grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to see the results of their efforts come to life in just a few days!
