In a recent government meeting, community leaders announced plans for a celebratory event on September 21st, marking the one-year anniversary of a significant protest that led to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shutting down an unfit site in the area. The event aims to foster community healing and unity following the challenges faced over the past year.

The gathering will feature a variety of family-friendly activities, including cornhole games, ice cream, face painting for children, a drum circle, spoken word performances, and a comedy show. Organizers emphasized that the event is open to all ages and encourages community participation, highlighting the importance of coming together to support one another.

While the exact hours of the event are still being finalized, it is expected to run from approximately 11 AM to 5 PM. The initiative reflects a broader goal of strengthening community ties and promoting a sense of belonging among residents, as expressed by the organizers. They reiterated the importance of healing and moving forward collectively, inviting everyone to join in the celebration. Further details will be shared online as the date approaches.
