Featured Event - Plymouth City Sampler

Information provided by the city of Plymouth.

The Plymouth mayor and city council members will host the annual City Sampler from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, March 16, 2013 at Plymouth City Hall.

Mingle and meet with neighbors, the mayor and council members while having a cup of coffee and refreshments. Register to win prizes, order trees and shrubs, buy bike helmets and meet city staff members from all departments. Residents can stop by anytime during the morning and stay as long – or short – as they’d like.

Order Trees and Buy Bike Helmets
A city forester will share information about the city’s annual tree and shrub sale – discount available for ordering at the sampler. Ask a forester about tree care and species advice.

You can outfit your family with new bike helmets at discount prices, courtesy of the Plymouth Fire Department and North Memorial Hospital. Adult and youth helmets, which normally sell for much more, will cost $10 - $15. Staff will also make sure that each helmet fits properly.

Sampler Prizes
The Plymouth City Sampler also offers some prizes through its drawing. Register for an array of prizes, including: a police ride along; a ride on a fire truck to the local Dairy Queen; bike helmets; a birthday party room rental at the Plymouth Ice Center along with free open skating; a tree; a trio of shrubs; a native plant starter garden with plants personalized to the needs of your yard; and more.

The City Council initiated the Sampler to give residents an informal venue to meet their elected city officials, provide feedback and get city information.
