William Ford, 9

"I'm thankful for all the people who teach me and give me my education at school."

 

Lou Krumm, 47, Boulder City resident: 11 years

Rod Woodbury, 48, Boulder City resident: 38 years

"I am thankful for my fellow councilmembers in the city of Boulder City, for my family and for the great city we live in."
