The Logan County Mayor’s Association has set the 2021 trick-or-treat night for 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, during their quarterly meeting Thursday evening. 
​
Last year, the Mayor’s Association moved Beggar’s Night to a Saturday afternoon, citing offering a safer event during the daytime and also hosting the trick-or-treat at a time when working families could more easily participate. ​

Republic Services has advised the city of Bellefontaine that the recycling collection truck is being repaired and will not be in operation again until Friday, May 21, 2021 at the earliest.  The recycling will be picked up by a refuse collection truck in two separate routes to allow for the necessary separation between paper items and container items. Please leave your recycling bins at the curbside until collected.  We are sorry for the situation and confusion during this time.  Thank you for your considerations.

Section 717.04(e) to the City of Bellefontaine's Codified Ordinances state:

"Between Memorial Day and Labor Day of each summer, the Service-Safety Director shall designate four (4) successive Saturdays as home sale or yard sale Saturdays whereby the first two Saturdays shall be designated for home and yard sales north of Columbus Avenue and the second two successive Saturdays shall be designated as home or yard sales Saturdays south of Columbus Avenue and where said yard sales on said successive Saturdays shall be permitted without the payment of a fee for the home/yard sale permit as provided for in Section 717.04(a)."

The four (4) successive Saturdays in 2021 will be the 4 Saturdays in the month of June. The first two Saturdays in June (June 5 & 12) will allow for free yard sales north of Columbus Avenue, and the next two successive Saturdays (June 19 & 26) will allow for free yard sales south of Columbus Avenue.
