The Fleetwood Rec Board is looking forward to sponsoring more seasonal events at the Fleetwood Town Square. Last fall, the opening ceremony for the Town Square took place on October 16 with Mayor Tammy Gore cutting the ribbon for the Fleetwood Fall Pumpkin Fun Day. Children participated in pumpkin decorating, face painting, and trick or treating at this event. And last December, Santa’s elves took over to help children with a Free Children’s Crafts Workshop with children making ornaments, crafts, and decorations.
