South Lyon City Council approves pumpkin fest plans and agenda items

The South Lyon City Council convened on June 23, 2025, to address several important community matters, including the approval of events that will enhance local engagement and festivities.

One of the key highlights of the meeting was the approval of the consent agenda, which included plans for the South Lyon Area Pumpkin Fest 2025. This popular event will feature downtown road closures, a parade, and a run, all aimed at bringing the community together in celebration. The council unanimously supported the agenda, indicating strong backing for these initiatives that promise to foster local spirit and participation.

Additionally, the council discussed the Buy Michigan Now Festival, which also received approval for necessary road closures. This festival aims to promote local businesses and encourage residents to support Michigan-made products, further strengthening the community's economic ties.

The meeting also included procedural matters, such as excusing the absences of council members Lisa Dilg and Lori Mosher, and approving the minutes from the previous meeting. These actions, while routine, reflect the council's commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in its operations.

As South Lyon prepares for these upcoming events, residents can look forward to a vibrant community atmosphere that not only celebrates local culture but also supports local businesses. The council's decisions during this meeting are steps toward enhancing community engagement and fostering a sense of unity among residents.
