The Mt. Carmel City Council has approved two big community events for later this year. The first one is the 5th annual Riverview Ramble sponsored by Mt. Carmel Public Utility. President David James said this year’s race will be Saturday, 25th and around 100 runners from throughout the area are expected to be on hand. The second big event was the Christmas Uptown festival set this year for Friday evening, December 5th on Market Street. In addition to approving the date, the council appropriated $2,500 to aid in the event, the same amount as the last couple of years.
