Del City Chamber and city staff recap large trunk-or-treat, fishing clinic and announce Veterans Day program
Summary
At the Nov. 4 meeting, Chamber director Josh Schultz recapped a trunk-or-treat that drew an estimated 5,000 people, a first-time fishing clinic, and announced Veterans Day and DelQuest events; city staff previewed a fall town hall and a new city website.
Josh Schultz, director of the Del City Chamber of Commerce, briefed the council on recent and upcoming community events at the Nov. 4 meeting.
Schultz said the recent trunk-or-treat drew a very large crowd — his rough estimate was "probably close to 5,000 people" — and that the Chamber will reuse event signage and apply sponsorship dollars toward local youth sports. He also described a fishing clinic that served about 30 people and noted that donations and sponsorships would support a high school baseball team.
Mayor Floyd A. Eason read a proclamation naming Nov. 11, 2024 as Veterans Day in Del City and noted a program at 11 a.m. at the Del City Community Center/Patriot Park featuring John Kelty of Del City High School as guest speaker; the American Legion VFW will host a memorial unveiling and luncheon.
City Manager Jody and Assistant City Manager thanked volunteers, noted a fall town hall scheduled for Nov. 12 at 6 p.m., and said the city’s long-awaited website and new brand will be released in conjunction with the town hall. The University of Central Oklahoma was recognized for a community service event that mulched city flower beds and helped install holiday displays at the community center.
Schultz also reminded trustees about DelQuest (Nov. 20–22) and invited council members to the leadership dinner on Nov. 21. The Chamber said it will send a full schedule to city staff and officials.
No formal council action was required on these announcements; staff and community groups will proceed with event logistics and follow-up coordination.
