From Covid to Comeback – Summer 2021 is upon us and it is going to be spectacular here in Sharonville. After a long fifteen months of health and safety protocols, I was thrilled by the recent announcements from the Centers for ​Disease Control and the Ohio Department of Health. They could not have come at a better time. We were already prepping for another summer of mask mandates, pool reservations and curtailed celebrations. Your efforts in combatting this horrible virus are making those precautions less necessary. Vaccinations have been the key to returning our lives to normal – and getting a shot has never been easier here in Sharonville. Our partners at Hamilton County Public Health, Princeton City School District, and The Healthcare Connection brought mass vaccination clinics into our community at the Sharonville Convention Center for the entire public and Princeton’s Viking Village for our 12-17 year olds. Mayor’s Assistant Anna Ehlerding and Resident Assistance Intervention Nurse Jennifer Moore worked to bring mobile vaccination clinics to neighborhoods throughout the City – including at our community center parking lot for opening day of swim season.

We are going to kick off this Comeback Summer with a return of our Fourth of July Weekend Celebration and FIREWORKS to Sharonville! I hope that you will plan to join us in the Northern Lights District on Saturday, July 3rd, for Stars and Stripes Beneath the Lights. In collaboration with our friends at Princeton Schools, we have an evening of fun planned that includes a parade, food trucks, game booths and culminates in those fireworks lighting up the night sky. And never fear, you will have the opportunity to declare your Sharonville pride at this year’s event as we will again be making available “I ❤ Sharonville” tees for residents.

Sharonville is coming back from the difficulties of the Coronavirus stronger and better than ever! Our City employees are proud to have been a part of helping you through this troubling time but thrilled to bring you new opportunities for joy and prosperity in the coming months. Sharonville is THE place to live, work, and play – so join me in doing just that this Summer and beyond!
