The Apple Valley City Council on Oct. 9 adopted a proclamation declaring Oct. 11, 2025 as Tuthill Day in recognition of the Tuthill family's multi-decade business and community involvement.

The proclamation highlighted the family's early contributions to the area, noting the business began as a towing and auto-repair service at County Road 42 and Garden View Drive in 1965 and grew to operate with dozens of trucks, multiple vehicle bays and roughly 60 employees. The proclamation credited the Tuthill family with sustained community involvement, including support for local parades, fundraisers and nonprofit organizations.

A family representative accepted the proclamation and thanked the council and the community. Mayor Hoopa and staff invited the family to a public recognition event at the business on Oct. 11.

Council members voted to adopt the proclamation by roll call with no recorded opposition. The proclamation text and accompanying photos were shown during the meeting and the family joined council members for a brief photograph on stage.
