The following day, a household hazardous waste collection will be held from 8 AM to 1 PM, offering residents an opportunity to dispose of various hazardous and electronic waste, along with free paper shredding services for up to five banker boxes.

The meeting also promoted the Harvest Fair, set for Saturday, October 28, from 11 AM to 4 PM at Pioneer Park. This event will feature a Maker's Market, refreshments, live performances, and a costume contest, fostering community spirit and local engagement.
