The City Council of Sunbury, Ohio, held a productive meeting on February 22, 2025, focusing on upcoming community events that promise to engage residents and foster local spirit.

One of the highlights discussed was the planned food truck event scheduled for May at the local park. Council members confirmed that all necessary inspections for the food truck will be completed prior to operation. The event is expected to run throughout the day, and past experiences have shown that cleanup and organization have been handled well, with no objections raised by city services, fire, or police departments.

Additionally, the council reviewed preparations for the community Easter egg hunt organized by the Big Walnut Civic Association, set for Saturday, April 12. This free event is anticipated to attract around 500 attendees and will take place from noon to 3 PM, with setup beginning at 9 AM. The hunt will utilize the school and park parking lot, with overflow parking available on the street. The association has requested minimal assistance from the city, planning to manage trash disposal independently and seeking permission to use the school’s dumpster. The council will only need to unlock the bathrooms for the event.

The Easter egg hunt will feature bounce houses, a DJ, and potentially a food truck, although details on vendors are still being finalized. Council members emphasized the importance of communication with local fire and police departments to ensure the smooth execution of these events, with both chiefs expressing their support and readiness to assist.

As the city gears up for these community gatherings, the council remains committed to fostering a vibrant local culture and ensuring that residents have access to enjoyable and well-organized events.
