City Officials Recap Successful Fantastic 4th Weekend

At Monday’s City Council meeting, various departments reported a quiet, safe, and successful Fantastic 4th weekend in Mt. Carmel. Mayor Joe Judge said the surprise finale at the fireworks was a thrill for those in attendance. He thanked Gary Arnold, Jr. and his family for organizing the 4th of July parade that was postponed by rain until Saturday. He said the Rotary Club served approximately 1,700 meals during Sunday’s Corn Day. Leftover corn was taken to the senior center where it was prepared to be served there at a later time. Fire commissioner Susan Zimmerman said fire chief Francis Speth reported no problems or injuries from fireworks and police chief Mike McWilliams also reported it was a quiet holiday weekend for his officers.
