I love reading The Times. You all do such a fabulous job! Hearing how well you did in the competition proves that!

I have only lived here in this beautiful town for about two years, but I know I love it. It is so wonderful to check out all of the town’s events (Oktoberfest - great food!), amazing art fairs, farmers markets, etc... It takes a lot of work to be a special town like Fountain Hills. I commend all of you.

The only thing that does get old is the complaining about something that someone does to try to make things better for all of us.

I love the Fountain Park -- the lights are very much appreciated for whoever decided. We need to enjoy them because they are here. Why does it matter what color they are or the wattage is? They are here, be happy and accept it. Thank you for making the park a safer place to walk. I love bringing our guests to the park, day or night.

I also love our choices of businesses here. My goal is to use all of the businesses here as much as possible. We all need to support our small businesses. We just had dinner at the new restaurant, Monroe’s. We did not know what to expect, but we totally enjoyed it. Great service, great food, reasonable prices and incredible live music that you can relax and converse during dinner. That’s hard to find.

I encourage all of us to look at our wonderful town of Fountain Hills as a special place to be proud of and support it in every way we each can.
