Community Dinner and Dance Kicks Off Events in Hirper City Park

The Hooper City Council meeting on August 21, 2025, highlighted several upcoming community events aimed at fostering local engagement and celebrating the city’s heritage.

One of the key announcements was the community dinner and dance scheduled for the following Monday, which will coincide with a horse show starting at 6:00 PM. Residents were encouraged to participate and to collect event flyers available at the city office.

Additionally, the council introduced a new event this year: a magnet fishing activity in the ditch along the east side of the park. This initiative follows previous fishing events that faced challenges with fish survival. The magnet fishing will allow children to fish for metal items, with prizes for those who find special items, including a gold tomato for a standout catch.

The council also invited residents to contribute to a heritage booth by sharing historical photographs, emphasizing the importance of community history. Pictures can be submitted in person or via email to the city office.

These events reflect Hooper City's commitment to community involvement and the celebration of its local culture. Further details on participation and contributions were provided during the meeting, encouraging residents to engage actively in these upcoming activities.
