City of Deer River Fire Department prepares for Halloween drive-through and annual bingo night
DEER RIVER—It was a relatively quiet Monday evening at the Deer River City Hall on October 26, as Mayor Geving and council members Pat Richards and Barb Serfling gathered for the regular city council meeting. Council members Dan Graf and Emily Benham were excused from the session. Despite a light council roster, local officials and department heads kept busy running through a steady agenda of community updates, vehicle maintenance needs, and upcoming events. Fire and Police Update Filling in for the police report, Fire Chief Jordan Osse noted that recent law enforcement activity has been “fairly mundane” with nothing too crazy to report. The fire department, however, has been exceptionally busy. Following a packed Fire Prevention Week—which featured educational visits to King School classes, a hands-on session for local home-schooled students at the fire hall, and a visit from the Leech Lake Head Start group—the department is gearing up for community outreach. Halloween Drive-Through: The fire department will host its popular drive-through trick-or-treat event on Halloween starting at 4 p.m. and running until the candy runs out. Fall Bingo: Mark your calendars for Thursday, Nov. 5, for the department’s fall bingo night at the High School Commons. Doors open at
