Your resource for events + news in Mulvane

It's fall in Mulvane and that means LOTS of events and activities for the whole family! In fact, this newsletter is so full that you may need to click view entire message at the bottom of your email.

From the city-wide garage sale weekend, to fundraisers and shopping events, a car show, and candidate forums, plus parent teacher conferences, Oktoberfest, a chili cook-off, murder mystery dinner and Safe Treat Night - there is so much to enjoy right here.

As you read through this newsletter, you can click on images to enlarge them or download. I've tried to add links when applicable. My goal is to compile all of the events each month into this newsletter!

As a reminder, I'm Brittany Kruger, the Director of the Mulvane Chamber of Commerce and this newsletter is meant to be a resource for our community, local organizations and businesses.

If you have an event to add, please email me at MulvaneChamberDirector@gmail.com

I do want to let you know that the Chamber is hosting Mulvane's First Holiday Lights Contest this year!

We'll be creating a map with all the displays marked online and there will be several prizes as well! We want to encourage residents to go on walking or driving tours with family and friends AND you'll also be able to vote for your favorite display! 🎄❄️🎅
