The town will pick up loose and bagged leaves and street side service will be completed first following the zone schedule, with alleys completed last. The Public Works Department asks that you do not mix limbs in with the leaves as the leaf machine cannot pick-up the limbs and it makes collection efforts difficult. Also, as a reminder, regular brush and bulk pick up will be suspended during leaf collection. A complete list of the schedule for each zone is posted on the Town’s website and area bulletin boards and for any questions you may contact Public Works at 863-2517. • Town offices will be closed on Friday, November 11, 2016 in honor of the Veteran’s Day holiday. • MANAGER’S COMMENTS * UPCOMING EVENTS • CLIFTON FORGE PUBLIC LIBRARY - HALLOWEEN PARTY (AGES 3-12)-THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2016, 4-5 PM - FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY BOOK SALE—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2016, 10 AM – 5 PM AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2016, 10 AM – 1 PM - PRESCHOOL STORY TIME—WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2016, 11 AM – 12 PM • CLIFTON FORGE MAIN STREET - CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, 6 PM - CHRISTMAS PARADE—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2016, 6 PM • CLIFTON FORGE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS - JAMMIN AT THE MILL—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, 7 PM • MASONIC AMPHITHEATRE - SOUPER SUNDAY-- SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2016, 1 PM • MASONIC THEATRE - “SOMETHING WICKED”— FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2016, AND SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2016, 7 – 11 PM - CAMELOT THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS: INTO THE WOODS—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2016, 7-9 PM, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2016, 1-3 PM AND 7-9 PM, AND MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2016, 7-9 PM - KING OF THE COWBOYS, RIDERS IN THE SKY SALUTE ROY ROGERS—SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2016, 4-6 PM - “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD”—TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2016, 7 PM - THE MASONIC PLAYERS PRESENT: THE MIRACLE WORKER—FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11 AND 12, 2016, 7-9 PM, AND SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2016, 3-5 PM • APPALFOLKS OF AMERICA ASSOCIATION PRESENTS: MEMORIES OF ELVIS—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, 8-10 PM • AN EVENING WITH BUDDY HOLLY: FEATURING ROBBIE LIMON—SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2016, 7:30 – 9 PM • SHOWING OF “THE PRINCESS BRIDE” MOVIE—SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2016, 1 PM • APPALFOLKS OF AMERICA ASSOCIATION PRESENTS: VIRGINIA OPRY—SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2016, 8-10 PM • PUBLIC COMMENTS • COUNCIL COMMENTS
