The Village of Hiram plans to help residents enjoy the summer months with a variety of events and activities hosted by the newly organized Recreation & Park Board. The first event took place on Friday, May 3rd at the Hiram College stadium.
That evening, the academy award nominated film ‘Barbie’ was screened on the stadium scoreboard. The event was free, although donations were accepted to benefit the Recreation & Park Board. Other events include a resurgence of Hiram’s Old-Fashioned 4th of July festivities, that will include Fireworks, a parade, family games, and more.
In other news, Village brush collection began on Friday, April 26th. Collection takes place on the last Friday of each month from April through September. For information on what can be left at the curb, or any other questions, call the Village Service Department at (330) 569-7802 Extension 223.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Village’s Spring Clean-up taking place on Saturday, May 18th from 7 am until noon.
