The monthly meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission is expected to include a public hearing about the Local Historic District application for the area around east McCarty Street and School Street. This meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers, and is open to the public.

Have you ever sat on your porch and enjoyed hearing a neighbor strumming a guitar on a nearby porch? Porchfest takes this idea and multiplies it to create a free, family-friendly event where the community can share their love of playing and listening to music by holding porch concerts in different neighborhoods. The festival is centered around local music, art, food and community hospitality. There will be a wide range of diverse musical styles participating. Event headquarters will be located at Avenue HQ.  For more information, contact Holly at 573-635-9199.
