Oakdale announces three community events for October
The Oakdale City Council highlighted three upcoming events this week designed to engage residents and showcase new city amenities. The announcements include the final farmers market of the season, an educational program about food waste, and the grand opening of a new neighborhood park.
The city is encouraging residents to visit the final Oakdale Farmers Market of the season on October 9th from 2 to 6 PM at the City Hall parking lot. The market will feature fall produce and seasonal favorites, offering a last chance for residents to shop local before winter.
On the same day, Washington County staff will host a free informational session called "Recycling Food Scraps at Home" from 6 to 7 PM at the Discovery Center. The program aims to educate Oakdale residents about the Food Scraps Pickup Program, which allows households to compost food waste rather than sending it to landfills.
The week's marquee event is the grand opening of Willowbrooke Commons, the city's newest park, scheduled for October 12th from 1 to 3 PM at 3800 Henna Avenue N in the Willowbrooke neighborhood. The celebration will feature an official ceremony, ribbon cutting, and family activities open to the public.
Together, the three events reflect the city's focus on sustainability, local commerce, and community recreation. Residents interested in attending any of the events can find more information through the city's official channels.
