Magrath Days represent a time where we all reflect about how our community is growing and to look hopefully into the future. This special video was created to commemorate that endless spirit. From our pioneering roots to the vibrant community we are today, this milestone is a tribute to the people, places, and stories that have shaped our town across generations. A place where kids can be kids. A place for learning, working, and thriving. A place where community comes first. Whether you were born here, moved here, or just love visiting, this is your story of growing with us too.
Please note that due to Magrath Days, the Transfer Station will be CLOSED on Saturday, July 26. Instead, it will be OPEN on Friday, July 25 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Thank you for your understanding, and enjoy the festivities!
