How did Oakdale fare – how did the city meet the many challenges of the past year and what can be counted as its successes?

What are the key issues that will be facing the Cowboy Capital as it moves deeper into 2022?

Those are among the main questions that will be answered during the upcoming Mayor’s State of the City Address, which will be hosted on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

Slated at the Bianchi Community Center, 110 S. Second Ave., the program will begin with a luncheon starting at 11:30 a.m.; tickets can be purchased for $15.

Oakdale Mayor Cherilyn Bairos will provide the overview of the past year and a look ahead starting at noon; those who want to just attend the program portion can do so without having to buy a lunch ticket.

The event itself is scheduled to run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and is presented by the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce. Purchase lunch tickets at the Chamber office or online at https://swipesimple.com/links/lnk_6146f9bc.
