Council committee unveils 'Pet Mayor' fundraiser and October ghost tour
Summary
A council committee announced plans for a September 'Pet Mayor' fundraiser and an Oct. 25 ghost tour; the Historical Society donated train use and covered insurance and drivers, organizers seek donations for yard signs and park waste stations.
A council committee reported plans for two community fundraisers: a 'Pet Mayor' contest in September (to elect a mayor and two councilmembers representing pets) and a ghost‑tour event on Oct. 25.
Organizers said the Historical Society secured and is underwriting the train for the ghost tour (including insurance and drivers), reducing city expense. The committee requested donations to cover yard signs (estimated at roughly $35 each if purchased locally) and waste stations for parks where activities will take place. Volunteers will manage tours, with staff asked to assist in preparing the park area.
Council members encouraged residents to donate materials such as sign stakes and to publicize the events to increase participation; no formal expenditures were approved at this meeting.
