[0:05] [Music] Welcome back to the Monday Morning Minute
for August 19. Let's get 60 seconds on the clock
[0:10] and get started. Washington County will be hosting
their second-annual Back-to-School event at Walton
[0:14] Park this Thursday, August 22 from 4:30 to
6:30 PM. This event is free, and kids can get
[0:19] school supplies and a backpack, a haircut, update
their vaccinations, and more. There will also be
[0:25] entertainment and activities for the kids. A big
thank you to Washington County and all of their
[0:29] participating vendors for helping Oakdale families
start the school year off with a bang. Oakdale's
[0:34] new Public Works campus has taken some big steps
forward in recent weeks. The 9-acre parcel at 32nd
[0:40] and Granada Ave has officially been donated and
the deed transferred to the City. In addition,
[0:45] the City Council has accepted bids on most of
the project work. From here, we will officially
[0:49] break ground next month with construction
expected to take one year and a grand opening
[0:54] slated for late-fall 2025. Visit the new Public
Works facility web page at the link provided to
[0:59] learn more and to sign up for project updates.
Finally, the City Council recently visited our
[1:04] 2024 Acorn Award-winning properties. A big thank
you to everyone that nominated the properties,
[1:10] as well as to the talented and passionate
gardeners who put in so much time and effort
[1:14] to keep their spaces and our City beautiful.
Here's a sneak peek of the impressive landscaping
[1:19] of our award winners. That's it. I'm out of
time. Have a great week, Oakdale. [Music]
