In new business, the council approved a request from the Ronceverte Baptist Church to have a temporary closure of Locust Street during the Community Fall Family Festival on Saturday, Oct. 24. The festival, which will run from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m., will feature games, food, and a pumpkin decorating contest.
