The City of Powder Springs will hold its quarterly town hall in what the city’s press release describes as a “drop-in” format.

Elected officials will be on hand to answer questions during the town hall which will be held at Thurman Springs Park on Wednesday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Covid-19 vaccines available at town hall

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines will be offered by CORE Georgia in the city’s Community Development building from 5 to 7 p.m.

The press release states, “We’re expecting that these will be available to both those who have not yet been vaccinated and those needing their third-shot booster.”

Santa Claus will make an appearance

In preparation for the holiday season, Santa Claus will make an appearance at the town hall.

“Santa Claus will be dropping in (flying in?) to the town hall between 5:30 to 6:30 to receive letters to take back to the North Pole. Yes, Halloween was last night, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” the announcement states.
“Lastly, we’ll also have food for purchase on site, and for those who can’t make it, we’ll be streaming the event online. Look for it on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/cityofpowdersprings.”
