The City of Kenmore will host its annual park beautification event, Jack V. Crawford "Courtesy is Contagious in Kenmore" Day, on October 19th. The event will be from 9am – 12pm at Log Boom Park, 17415 61st Ave NE. Volunteers are needed to help with planting flowers, removing invasive plants, and picking up trash. If you have them, please bring your own work gloves. Tools, drinks, and snacks will be provided.
Mayor Crawford served as Kenmore’s first Mayor from the City’s incorporation in August 1998 through 1999 and served on City Council until December 2005.
Mayor Crawford passed away in 2008 and in 2009, City Council proclaimed Jack V. Crawford “Courtesy is Contagious in Kenmore” Day to honor his leadership, graciousness, and generosity of spirit. Mayor Crawford was particularly proud of Kenmore's parks. While serving as the president of the Kenmore Heritage Society in 2008, Jack played a key role in developing the Kenmore History Path at Log Boom Park. The Heritage Society dedicated the path to him in August 2009.
We look forward to seeing you at this community event! You do not have to sign up to attend, but please help us plan by RSVPing to Stephanie at sbrown@kenmorewa.gov
