Waxhaw Happenings November 2019 | Page 2

WA X H AW ’ S V I S ION Waxhaw is a friendly, vibrant, prosperous town where history and creativity build an enduring, safe and healthy community for people of all ages to live, learn, work, play or grow a business. TOWN MANAGER’S MESSAGE It was an eventful October for the Town of Waxhaw, and it’s only getting busier. We hosted fall events that brought our town and many Charlotte residents together, and now we’re gearing up for the holiday season. Be sure to mark your calendar for this season’s events using the guide on pages 5-6. Events are a fun way for the community to gather, but don’t forget there are several opportunities to get involved in your community. There are two more Board of Commissioners meetings in the calendar year, on November 12th and 25th at Waxhaw PD Community Room, where you can make public comments and be an active participant in your local government. The town is also seeking volunteers to serve on appointed committees. If you would like to get more involved in Waxhaw, please read more on page 7 and apply by November 4th. The Parks and Rec team hosted a very successful Autumn Treasures Festival in downtown Waxhaw. There were incredible performers, bands, carriage rides, and much more that were enjoyed by festival visitors. Plus, we can’t discount the Grill’n and Chill’n BBQ Cook Off winners. You can find the list of winners and an event recap on page 4. We hope you’ll take advantage of the robust schedule of holiday events here in Waxhaw. They reflect the town’s growing diversity, and are a great way to experience our downtown area in a festive light. In the meantime, we wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving break with your families.
