July was a milestone month for Plant City, including the offices of the Plant City Times & Observer. The city loosened regulations on food trucks, the Observer celebrated five years in the city and Gresham Stephens left his post on the Strawberry Youth Parade board for college while his sister, Mary-Catherine, took over.
It was also a big month for events with the annual Fourth of July celebration at Plant City Stadium, Shrek the Musical at Plant City Entertainment and a number of performances at Bruton Memorial Library.
