On Aug. 3, in cooperation with Oswego County Soil & Water Conservation District, Oswego County Environmental Management Council and SLELO PRISM, a group of volunteers from the Oswego Canoe/Kayak Club participated in the hand pulling of the invasive water chestnut at the historic canal and guard lock section near Battle Island on the Oswego River.

Held at Minetto’s River View Park and town hall, along the Oswego River and Canal, this free family event has a bit of something for everyone. Music and food with free craft making, face painting and ice cream for children will be offered. Craft vendors will be located by the town hall with wares from jewelry to hand made pottery.

A hand-painted mural, created by the Oswego County AmeriCorps program and children taking part in activities at this year’s Oswego Harborfest, now brightens a wall at Michaud Residential Health Services in Fulton. The mural was painted during events at Harborfest’s Children’s Park.

The Oswego County E-911 Office reports that Frontier telephone service in the Hannibal area has been disrupted due to a problem with a fiber optic cable.  Customers who need emergency assistance should call 911 on a cell phone or go to a local fire station for assistance until the line is repaired.
