Grand Marshall and Hometown Heroes!
Grand Marshall Chris Cimino came to Sierra Madre when he was two years old. After growing up in town and running the streets, as young people do, at eighteen, he started work for the City of Sierra Madre on the weed abatement crew. He continued to work for the City in a number of capacities until present where he currently serves as the Director of Public Works. Throughout those years Chris was in integral part of numerous community projects and efforts like new water reservoirs through the City, the rebuilding of the City pool, Recreation Center, rebuilding sport fields, countless projects but none the most front and center as the most recently completed upgrade of Kersting Court. He is also dedicated to the Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery where he lovingly maintains the grounds and helps relatives plan for their deceased ones, with loving care and understanding. Over the years, Chris has assisted the residents in a number of ways, both in his role with the City but also as a volunteer with a number of civic groups like Sierra Madre Little League, Pony Colt, Girls Softball and St. Rita’s. Chris and his wife Pam settled in Sierra Madre and raised three children, adults now, and truly live up to the motto of the community spirit that is Sierra Madre.
