At their regular council meeting on March 9, Kipling Town council set the dates of some upcoming spring events.
The date for the town-wide garage sale has been set for Saturday, May 30 this year. The town office is asking that anyone who will be hosting a garage sale that day let them know so that they can compile a list of garage sales to share for the day.
The annual Klean-up Kipling date has also been set for May 9, with May 23 being set as an alternate date if the weather is not favorable on May 9. People will be encouraged to clean up their yards that day and there will be free access to the landfill.
