Business as usual

The Encampment Town Council’s January 13 meeting was full of activity, though it all moved rather quickly.

The 35th Annual Sierra Madre Winter Carnival held four spots in the new business section of the agenda, along with 2022 recreation board ideas appearing on the list as well. Designated depositories, official newspaper and posting places were decided. Advertising for the 15th Annual Vaccination Clinic on February 19 was approved.

SCWEMS will have a new representative for the Encampment area. The town council approved a letter of interest from Penny Layman to be the new SCWEMS representative for the area.

Advertising for the 15th Annual Vaccination Clinic was approved. The vaccination clinic will be held on February 19 in the Encampment Town Hall.

Also advertising the 35th Annual Sierra Madre Winter Carnival has begun. With prize money nearing $3,000 the council seems hopeful for a large turn out.
