EVERSON — The Everson-Nooksack Summer Festival has named Jim Glass and Rick Holt as this year’s Main Street Parade grand marshals. Glass, a life-long Everson resident, started his public works career with the City of Everson in 1988. He was known as the “walking encyclopedia of knowledge” about Everson’s infrastructure since he installed a large portion of the water and sewer system with a previous employer before joining the city. Glass held multiple certifications in both the water and sewer departments, and he could be seen around town constantly either mowing grass or plowing snow, depending on the season. According
to the City of Everson’s Facebook page, Glass was always available to respond to floods, snowstorms, and other natural disasters at a moment’s notice. Holt began his career in 1992 with the City of Everson and worked his way up to the city’s public works director. Throughout his career, Holt oversaw numerous public works infrastructure projects including the main street relocation of overhead powerlines to underground, the sewer treatment plant expansion and the extension and improvement of numerous streets and the development of multiple housing developments. With a combined experience of more than 50 years of public service, Jim Glass and Rick Holt “are worthy recipients of this year’s masters of ceremony,” the City of Everson’s Facebook page stated.
