A reward has been raised for the return of the Merced Applegate Zoo Bear sign.

Please keep an eye out while out and about. Let’s find the sign!

Merced City Council members offer $500 reward for the return of our Merced Applegate Zoo sign!

At the conclusion of Tuesday nights Council meeting a couple City Council members joined forces to put up a $500 reward to the person that returns the Merced Applegate Zoo Sign. The sign was stolen from the entrance of the zoo approximately 72 hrs ago. Staff are working alongside Merced PD and residents to find the sign if at all possible. That effort was substantially increased with the private investments from Councilman Mike Harris and Mayor Pro Tem Sarah Boyle who dedicated a $500 reward for the return of the sign.

Please contact Merced Police Department with any information regarding the signs whereabouts or return the sign to City of Merced Fire Department at a station near you.

Join us for the Bear Creek Yacht Club's "Candidates on the Creek" event on August 10! 📅

We're gathering at Strip Park/Yoga Park near 28th and "H" Streets, starting at 9:00 AM.

This isn't just a cleanup—it's a chance for our community to come together and beautify our waterways while meeting local candidates and elected officials.

Here's what to expect:
🕘 Arrival Time: Please arrive at 8:45 AM for introductions and a safety briefing.

🎤 Candidate Announcements: We'll introduce each official/candidate and the office they hold or are running for.

🤝 Community Connection: Get to know your candidates and fellow community members as we work together.

This is a family-friendly event, and we're excited to have many youth organizations volunteering. It's a great opportunity for them to engage with civic-minded leaders and learn about local government.

Why We're Posting Candidates: As part of our commitment to transparency and community engagement, we've been posting each candidate's campaign page and logo on our Facebook and Instagram. This helps you get to know who's running and their vision for our community. We'll continue to highlight new candidates and elected officials as they join, ensuring everyone gets equal visibility and promoting a civic dialogue.

Join us in making a difference in our community and enjoying a beautiful day by the water! See you there!
