Summary
Planning is underway for the Trick-or-Treat Trail, Pizza with Santa, and tree lighting, but the tree lighting may move from the fire department to the police station or city hall because the fire department may lack volunteers after Jeremy's resignation. Pumpkin sourcing from Walker Farms or Gordon's is also being worked out.
