This past weekend, the Village of Ryley came together for another successful SummerFest, and Claystone was proud to support the festivities as a sponsor of the event.

As one of Ryley’s most anticipated annual traditions, SummerFest brings together residents, families, and visitors to celebrate local spirit. For Claystone, our involvement is about more than just sponsorship; it is about actively fostering community connection. While vibrant regions rely on dependable infrastructure, they truly thrive when neighbors have opportunities to gather, strengthen local bonds, and celebrate together.

We were pleased to help bring some of the day’s most popular attractions to life. From face painting and the petting zoo to the bike parade, the Wizzer ride, and the dunk tank, there was no shortage of activities. Seeing families making memories and children enjoying the day highlighted why these gatherings are so vital.

Our team was happy to get in on the action, too. Claystone staff jumped into the festivities by participating in the pie-throwing contest and taking turns in the dunk tank to support a good cause.

As a municipally owned organization, we believe our role extends far beyond providing essential waste management services. We are deeply committed to helping build vibrant, connected communities. Whether through local sponsorships, partnerships, or our Claystone Community Grant Program, we believe in giving back to the regions we serve.

An event of this scale requires a great deal of collaboration. We want to extend a sincere thank you to the Village of Ryley, the dedicated organizers, the volunteers, and everyone who came out to make this year’s SummerFest a success.

Claystone is proud to support the communities we call home, and we look forward to continuing to invest in local initiatives that keep Ryley connected and strong.
