Trunk or Treat Event
Wednesday, October 31 from 5 – 7 pm along Central Avenue between Sespe Avenue and Main Street the Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting our first Trunk or Treat Event. Trunk or Treaters will be spending the evening going from trunk to trunk, collecting candy and prizes from the participating spaces along our downtown city block. Public Safety will be displaying their equipment at both ends of the event.

“Trunkers” will be asked to decorate their trunk, tailgate or hatchback and provide treats (Teal Pumpkin Projects welcome) for the “Treaters”. There will be a Peoples’ Choice Award Decoration contest.

Teal Pumpkin Project is a safe way for kids with allergies to still enjoy the holidays with everyone else. It helps with those who have food allergies be able to still participate and have other options during trick or treating such as glow sticks or small toys.

Rotorcraft
Rotorcraft is anticipating opening their doors by the first of the year. Construction is nearly complete. We are looking forward to establishing a long-lasting relationship with them.

Community Pool Season Extend for Trial Lap Swim Program
City Council approved extending the pool season until November 31, 2018 to allow lap swimming to continue. The program participants pay a monthly fee to cover the cost of a lifeguard. This is a trial program brought forward by members of the Fillmore community.

Session I – September 17-September 28
Session II – October 1 – October 31 (pool closed Veteran’s Day and Columbus Day)
Session III – November 1 – November 30 (pool closed Thanksgiving and the day after.)

Let’s work together to keep Fillmore the “Best Last Small Town.”
