46th Annual Wayne Chicken Show
The 46th annual Wayne Chicken Show (United We Cluck) will take place this year July 10 and 11.
The Wayne America office and its many volunteers put hours upon hours upon hours of time into planning this regional event, so I hope you get the chance to take part in some of the festivities. Make sure to welcome all of those visitors TO Wayne or BACK to Wayne, be they friends, family or Wayne alumni. Extend an invitation for all to come back often to visit, or even to make Wayne home!
Budget Season Upon Us
The City has started the budget process for fiscal year 2027 (Oct 1, 2026 – Sept. 30, 2027). Department heads will meet with Beth and me over the next two weeks to request certain items (operational and capital expenses) to ultimately be run by City Council before the budget is approved. The Council will be setting a time at a future Council meeting to go through the budget with staff and each other (likely in early August).
