During a recent government meeting, community members and officials gathered to discuss the importance of local events in revitalizing downtown activities. Larry and Laura L'Oberm, owners of Papa's Bookshop, expressed their support for city initiatives led by Mayor Jeff, emphasizing that events are crucial for attracting visitors and boosting business in the area. They highlighted the stark contrast between event days and regular periods, describing the latter as an \"Easter Famine\" with minimal activity.

The L'Oberms also offered their assistance to the city, acknowledging the hard work being done by local leaders to enhance community engagement and tourism. Their sentiments were echoed by other attendees, who appreciated the recent collaboration with Trumbull tourism for new promotional materials.

In a personal note, a council member shared gratitude for the community's support during a challenging health journey over the past seven months. They expressed relief at having overcome the worst of their condition and thanked residents for their encouragement, which played a significant role in their recovery.

The meeting underscored the collaborative spirit of the community and the ongoing efforts to foster a vibrant downtown atmosphere through events and local business support.
