Board approves Staplehurst fire department's Halloween 5K road closure request
Summary
Sarah Ehlers, secretary-treasurer of the Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department, asked the board to close Branch Oak Road for a 5K fun run on October 31, 2026; the board approved the request and suggested coordination with roads and sheriff's departments.
Sarah Ehlers, who identified herself as "secretary treasurer for the Staplehurst Fire Department," asked the board to close Branch Oak Road from 336th Road to 364th Road on October 31, 2026, from about 7 AM to 11 AM for a 5K fun run tied to the village fall festival and trunk-or-treat events. Ehlers said she would seek village approval as well and that the event would likely be open by 11 AM depending on runner finish times.
Commissioners checked whether the roads and sheriff's departments had been contacted and discussed logistics; the board moved and approved the requested road closure and asked staff to coordinate with roads and sheriff's office for traffic control and safety.
