Brookside Material’s donated a ton of gravel, well actually 50 TONS OF GRAVEL to fill in all our gravel street parking areas along Church and College Street. We hope to finish hauling that this week and begin picking up leaves beginning Monday October 19. BEGGARS NIGHT 2020
Goodness knows 2020 has not been a very kind year so far, aside from the illness and worse caused by the virus, it has been particularly hard on our young people.

It was agreed that if possible, we would hold the event countywide on Thursday, October 29th from 5:30pm to 7pm. Aligning the event in each community will reduce the commingling of communities, which may lead to an increase of COVID-19 cases. In addition, LCHD recommends:
In addition, LCHD asks that participants:
Lastly, for people handing out candy, please do so fromyour porch, weather permitting or turn on a porch light. People trick or treating, please do not to knock on doors if there is not a light on. Important Census Information
