Oakdale announces fall events, highlights business outreach efforts
The Oakdale City Council held its Monday morning meeting to announce upcoming community events and provide an update on the city's business engagement program. The announcements highlight the city's focus on family activities and supporting local commerce.
The city is preparing for two major community events this month. The Family Fun Flatables event will take place Saturday, September 13th from 11 AM to 4 PM at Walton Park. The free event is designed for families and will feature inflatable attractions, a kids DJ, food concessions, and a sensory tent—a quiet space designed for children who may be overwhelmed by stimulation.
One week later, Oakdale will host its City-Wide Clean Up event on Saturday, September 20th from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Oakdale Public Works facility. Residents can dispose of unwanted items for a small fee, giving households a convenient way to clear out clutter.
The council also updated the community on the city's Business Retention, Expansion, and Attraction (BREA) program, which focuses on strengthening relationships between city officials and local business owners. Recent visits were made to three local businesses: Ember and Bean Roasting Company, Smash Hub, and Hometown Veterinary Partners. The program aims to gather feedback from business owners and support economic growth in Oakdale. The city acknowledged the Oakdale Area Chamber of Commerce for their partnership in these efforts.
These announcements reflect the city's dual priorities of creating family-friendly activities and fostering a healthy business environment. Residents interested in attending either event can find more information through the city.
