Greetings Stroud Citizens,

The Chamber’s Fall Festival was Fantastic! Music by “Loose Gravel” and “Adam Agulair” was great as always. The kids’ activities were fun, and everyone seemed to have a marvelous time. The food trucks were delicious! I hope you didn’t miss it. Halloween has come and gone and trick or treat Main Street was bigger than ever. Thank you to the business owners for your participation and everyone’s very creative and scary costumes.

This month we pause to honor our Veterans. Take a walk down Main Street and look at our Veteran’s banners. Make it your priority to thank a Veteran for their service and what they mean to all of us. Our Main Street always looks its best when our flags are presented.

The Chamber’s Christmas tree lighting is November 16 from 3-7. There will be kids’ crafts, food trucks, vendors, and loads of fun that evening. The Christmas parade is on December 7 and this year’s theme is “Magic on Main Street”. Dust off those creative juices because this year they are giving awards for categories of Elf Award, Griswald Award, Reason for the Season Award, and Most Original Award.

Thanksgiving is a few weeks away and my mind always goes to the thoughts of great food. Please take a moment and reflect on how Blessed we really are at Stroud. Let’s take this opportunity to go out of our way this season to be kind, be loving, and do something intentionally good for our friends and neighbors. Thank you, Stroud, for letting me be a part of that.
