Memorial Day
 
Yesterday, we recognized our brave men and women in the armed services who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our liberty and freedom. Our values as a nation stand strong and unwavering because of generations of service and sacrifice.

Memorial Day isn’t the only day that we should remember and reflect on those who have fought for our country. Thank you to those who serve our country. We are forever grateful for your courage and commitment.

Strawberry Festival
Supervisor Do rode in the 60th Anniversay of the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival this weekend. The Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce started the festival started in 1958 to bring the community together and paid tribute to the Garden Grove’s prolific strawberry fields. After that first year, the non-profit Garden Grove Strawberry Festival Association was formed and the festival became a charitable event that has donated over the years $4.5 million to hundreds of local non-profits.

Through the years the festival has drawn an eclectic group of celebrities and grand marshals including Steve Martin, Mickey Rooney, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Governor Jerry Brown, The Carpenters, Debbie Reynolds, Nancy Sinatra, Tommy Lasorda, Phyllis Diller, Rip Taylor, Hilary Duff, The Galaxy soccer team, and Mickey Mouse.
