Tons of Spring Events & Programs in Eureka

Even as Eureka has seen unseasonably late snow and chilly temperatures, the Parks and Recreation Department has a full schedule of events and programs ready in April and May!  There is truly something for everyone - from ACT Prep Classes to a Senior Bus Trip to the first Yappy Hour Dog Event of the year.  To the right is the full Press Release for April and May.  We've highlighted several programs below:

Middle School Egg Hunt and Dance
Middle Schoolers will enjoy the great dances they love and get an added bonus: Egg Hunt! Dinner, snacks and drinks are included. All participants must be signed in and out by an adult and parent volunteers are always welcome. Walk-up registration at the event is based on space availability. All participants must have a registration form completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Friday, April 5th - 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. - Eureka Community Center - Fee: $10.00 (at door) or $8.00 (pre-paid)

Eureka Town Hall Meeting
Dinner will be served, followed by a presentation from Mayor Coffey including an update on Eureka’s water softening efforts and a progress update on Eureka’s new Recreation Center. The meeting will also include a public forum regarding the City’s Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) application which will soon be submitted to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Based on the City’s 2010 Census population, State regulations dictate that additional storm water regulations must be implemented. The City's Engineer will present an overview of the regulations and answer any questions.
