Daylight Saving--Replace Batteries

The Whiting Fire Department would like to remind you that this Sunday, November 4, we fall back one hour for Daylight Saving Time. This annual event is a great way to remember that it is time to replace the batteries in your smoke detector.

The Whiting Fire Department will be testing fire hydrants from October 22 through 28 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The testing process may cause household water to become discolored. This discoloration is caused by a stir-up of sediment in the water lines. If this condition affects you, simply run your water until the discoloration disappears.

Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please call the Whiting Water Department at 659-0407 or the Whiting Fire Department at 659-1069.

A Halloween Costume Parade for children will be held on Saturday, October 27th. Line-up begins at 1:00 behind Chase Bank (119th & New York). The parade begins at 1:30 and will conclude at the Whiting Community Center. A magic show will immediately follow the parade.

Trick or Treating will be held in Whiting from 5 to 7 p.m. on Halloween night (Wednesday, October 31st).

Dark in the Park, sponsored by the FOP, transforms the Whiting Park Pavilion into a haunted house of horror. Runs October 26, 27, 28 & 31.

Oktoberfest will be held on Saturday, October 20th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A day of food, fun, shopping and activities will include hayrides, pony rides, pumpkin painting, a signing by Cherished Teddies Artist Glenn Hillman, merchant sales,  local non-profit booths and more. Join us in celebrating the fall season on 119th!

For additional information on these events, please contact Brian Lowry, Director of Community Development, at 659-7704, x.246.
