Imagine for a moment... The year is 1911. There are no motorized vehicles. No motorized machines. No electrical tools or any of today's modern conveniences. In that year, working in those conditions, while also dealing with inconveniences like weather and other hazards, a team of citizens came together to build the Rexburg Tabernacle in ONLY 8 MONTHS! This feat is noteworthy for many reasons, but its completion is a testament to the community and legacy of the building that is Still Standing here in Rexburg over a century later. We'll be sharing this story and more over the next few weeks. We hope you stay tuned and enjoy...Tabernacle Tuesday. 📷: historical photo of people gathered to watch men working to lay the cornerstone of the Tabernacle in Rexburg, dated 1911

We at the City are saying “so long” and “farewell” to our City Attorney, Stephen Zollinger, as he swings into retirement after over 30 years of dedicated service! 👋 His favorite pastime is definitely found on the green, so we’re sending him off with a “Par-Tee”! The community is invited to help us celebrate his legacy at City Hall’s Council Chambers on Wednesday, February 19th (yes, that’s tomorrow) at 1:00pm. ⛳️ Simultaneously, we’re very excited to welcome Spencer Rammel in Stephen’s stead. We’ll give him a couple days before telling him what big shoes he has to fill. 😉 Please join us in extending a round of congratulations and salutations to these two outstanding men! 👏 #Rexburg #cityattorney #retirement #congratulations #manythanks #FORE🏌️

Did you know...our Mayor, Jerry Merrill, participated in the Blue Cross Foundation's Mayor's Walking Challenge grant last fall? To do this, he had to walk over 10,000 steps Every Day in October to qualify! In turn, he received a grant for $1,000 that he was able to donate to the non-profit in our community of his choice. He chose the Madison School District to help the middle school purchase new student health and fitness equipment. We're excited to support our local school district with this grant and we're proud of Mayor Merrill for his dedication to the cause! We look forward to all the fun the kids will have with the new gear in the future.
