Main Street Perry outlines upcoming community events and updates projects

During the City Council meeting on July 7, 2025, in Perry, Oklahoma, officials addressed several key community issues, including updates on infrastructure projects and upcoming local events.

One of the primary topics discussed was the delay in the culvert project, which has been impacted by recent flooding across the state. City staff noted that the necessary materials were only received the previous Friday, causing a setback in the project timeline. Residents can expect an update on the estimated completion date to be posted on the city’s Facebook page soon.

In addition to infrastructure concerns, the council received a quarterly report from Main Street Perry, highlighting upcoming community events. Notably, the organization plans to revamp its traditional lemonade stands for children by collaborating with local businesses for a "crazy day sale" later this month. This initiative aims to foster community engagement and support local commerce.

Another exciting event on the horizon is "Meet a Maroon Night," scheduled for August 7. This gathering will take place in the evening to accommodate the summer heat and will coincide with a homecoming football game, making it a significant occasion for local residents.

The meeting underscored the city’s commitment to keeping the community informed and engaged, as officials continue to navigate challenges and plan for future events that bring residents together. As the city moves forward with these initiatives, the focus remains on enhancing the quality of life for all Perry residents.
