“We know many in our community are still recovering from the recent hurricanes and many in our city are working hard to support them,” said Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector. “We wanted to have an event that not only provides a safe space for families to take a much-needed break, relieve some stress, and thank the many city workers, first responders and volunteers who have worked tremendously hard to provide much-needed resources and support. Events like this Clearwater Last Friday will help lift spirits and bring our community together as we all work to make Clearwater shine brighter than ever before.”
