The Washington City Council approved two special event requests at their meeting on Wednesday. The first being the Daughters of the American Revolution Junk in the Trunk event that will take place on September 23rd. This has become an annual event, with the only change being there will be no food vendors at the event this year. The second event that was approved was  Lincoln Elementary’s Bike-a-Thon happening September 8th. Council member Fran Stigers had this to say about the event. “This is the only fundraiser that Lincoln School actually does each year, and so far, if you have been to Lincoln School, you have seen the new playground equipment. That’s what they spent the last three years paying for.” The board voted unanimously to approve these upcoming events.
