MAYOR’S GREETING

T

o good neighbors, old and new: We are delighted to have you as a vital part of our community.

Speaking as Mayor of Ralston and on behalf of our city government, we recognize that our citizens are our most important asset.

We continue to provide an environment that enriches our community and its residents.

Although an island surrounded by much larger cities, we continue as a small town with a “Spirit of Independence.”

As you drive by 72nd and Q Streets, you may notice our Ralston Arena complex that hosts the Omaha Lancers, Omaha Beef and Omaha Rollergirls. The arena holds 3,500 to 4,000 people for various types of events. We have two sheets of ice that provide entertainment for all ages, and the banquet area can be used for weddings, dinners and special gatherings. Behind the arena is a beautiful 270-unit apartment complex.

The enthusiasm within Ralston grows with the addition of all newcomers. We bid you all a warm “Spirit of Independence” welcome.

Sincerely, Donald A. Groesser Mayor, City of Ralston

Bike Rodeo

The Ralston Downtown Business Community hosted a Bike Rodeo on May 24, 2018, at the May Tunes in Town Square summer series. The Ralston Bike Riders Club was formed and more than 200 prizes were awarded to attendees at the event including bikes, helmets, club member stickers and water bottles. Along with the Ralston Police Department and our generous sponsors and volunteers, we had a bike safety check, bike registration, photo opportunity, and safety tips to coincide with bike safety month.

Last Blast

The 4th of July in Ralston this year was supposed to feature a colorful sky lit up by fireworks. Mother Nature had different plans, and the show ended before it ever really began. Fireworks were rescheduled as a one-time end-of-summer celebration, Last Blast of Summer on Aug. 31, 2018. The event included music by Finest Hour and food trucks, and ended with a fireworks show at dusk.

Kids activities included water tag, water guns, selfies with local mascots and dancing!
