Mebane issues park, water and events updates in February city update
Summary
City hosts advised residents that Lake Michael Park remains closed pending reopening, described a scheduled chlorine burnout through April 1, and promoted March community events including the Mebane train show and the Downtown Eggstravaganza.
Host Kelly used the February Positively Mebane update to remind residents of several city notices and community events.
Kelly said Lake Michael Park and its walking trails are not open yet and the city hopes to reopen them to citizens in the next couple months; she asked residents to use other parks in the meantime.
She also warned residents that the city is conducting a chlorine burnout (switching from chloramines to chlorine) as part of routine water-quality preventive maintenance through April 1, 2026. "You may notice slight changes in the water's color, taste, or odor, and this is normal, and it does not affect the water quality," Kelly said.
Kelly promoted the 12th annual Mebane train show on Saturday, March 14, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mebane train display off Jackson Street; organizers plan more than 50 vendors across 80 tables, $5 admission with children 12 and under free, and a raffle ticket with each paid admission. She said the Mebane Historical Museum will also be open that day.
Kelly also asked families to prepare for the Downtown Mebane Eggstravaganza & Bunny Hop on Saturday, March 28. Children can decorate eggs using sheets available Feb. 20'March 20 at the Mebane Arts and Community Center or the children's department of the Mebane Public Library; decorated eggs will be on display March 24'April 6, and the event runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 28.
