Certificates for 1st - 3rd place winners and the 1st place winner signs were hand delivered during the week after the Village Council Meeting.

Commissioner Bean requested Commissioners receive hard copies of the entry forms early so they can distribute to homes.

With high schools not in session in September and October and with the efforts to host events only if social distancing can be maintained, there will be no Fall Decorating event this year.

The Village has reduced the number of corn stalks installed this year. Elias presented the proposed locations for the corn stalks, with the concentration being in the downtown area. The wagon, clock tower, Village Hall and gateway plaza decorations will remain the same as in past years. The Forestry Division will install all the fall decorations by the end of the week.
