šŸ Weekly Roundup - Issue No. 20

In partnership with

šŸ¤  Howdy Partners

If you didnā€™t know, the whole reason I started writing The Buzz was because I never knew what was going on around town and I kept finding out about events after the fact. This is also why Iā€™ve never attended Buckeye Days (which is this weekend) and why I decided to share my research about it with you here.

As you probably do know from what Iā€™ve written before, I am also currently participating in the Buckeye Civic Institute, which has given me a direct line to Buckeye fun facts.

In last weekā€™s class, Ashley Mazariegos, the Economic Development Coordinator for The City of Buckeye, provided us with a wonderful presentation of behind-the-scenes information regarding Buckeyeā€™s economy, how businesses are brought to the area, and whatā€™s happening on the horizon.

Ashley herself was an impressive presenter and I left that nightā€”as I do every timeā€”grateful to those who are dedicating so much effort and intelligence into making Buckeye the very best in the West!

Now letā€™s get into it, šŸ cause,

The more you know, the more you go!
