HANFORD â Families gathered on Saturday morning for the Hanford Chamber of Commerceâs Picture Day/Picnic in the Park for their upcoming mobile app.
Amory Marple, CEO and executive director of the Hanford Chamber of Commerce, said she noticed more people were coming out to Civic Park and after bouncing around ideas with parks and recreation and Main Street Hanford, she decided to invite people to come to the park.
âThis year, we didnât have any events to take pictures at and we need them to use for our print material,â Marple said. âI didnât want to use pictures from the years before because itâs just not a true representation of current times.â
On Wednesday, the Hanford Chamber of Commerce held its second monthly Business Roundtable with Mayor Francisco Ramirez.
Ramirez and Chamber CEO Amory Marple were joined by City Manager Mario Cifuentez, Recreation Supervisor Armando da Silva, Parks and Community Services Director Brad Albert, Fire Chief Steve Pendergrass and Fire Marshal Christy Whittington to talk all about food trucks.
After pushing for a food truck ordinance for years, the Hanford City Council finally approved and adopted a mobile food vendor ordinance in October.
In an effort to kick-off implementation of the ordinance, da Silva announced a food truck takeover in Civic Park beginning in April.
