SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Determination is one word that can be used when describing the City of Somerton. During the pandemic, while other cities went dormant, Somerton kicked it into high gear.
City staff went out of their way to remind the public of what Somerton has to offer. Almost on a daily basis videos were uploaded to social media promoting local businesses.
Across the globe, communities are working their way to something that resembles normalcy. Case in point, the City of Somerton is once again hosting an in-person holiday celebration.
