Peoria is once again an All American City!  Peoria has won the 2013 All America City Award!  Ten communities received the award at the All America City Award conference in Denver this weekend.  Peoria also won the separate online video contest and Elite Drum Corp member Ethan Mosher earned the distinct recognition of the All America City Youth Award.  The Peoria Chamber’s Young Professionals led this initiative and members say they are beyond thrilled at the support they received from individuals and businesses all across the region.

More than 500 people participated in it and the final tally was more than 20,000 views and over 1,800 likes.

A delegation of 30+ people (including the Elite Drumline) went to Denver to present Peoria’s story to the National Civic League.  Thank you to everyone who participated in the All America City Award Peoria effort.  We will announce details for a press conference to present the award to the city later this week.
