Community events in Assumption are beginning to reflect the changing seasons.  Organizers are looking ahead to holidays as they plan fun events for everyone to enjoy.  Many of these happenings are free, making them easily accessible to all.  In addition, a new landmark is promoting visual arts to yet further enrich the town.

Assumption Community Pride is playing their part in putting all this together.  It starts with a movie night on October 12 at the park off Illinois Street.  Derek Page, the organization’s president, says they aimed for a movie friendly to all ages and eventually opted for Hotel Transylvania.

Later in October is, of course, trick-or-treat season.  Like other area towns, Assumption organizes a “trunk-or-treat.”  It’s set for October 26 from 4-6 p.m. at Central A&M Middle School.

After trunk-or-treat, it’s time to think about holiday lights.  The lights will be turned on November 28 at 5 p.m.  Page says Assumption Community Pride is taking volunteers to help put the lights up. 

Away from events, a new arts studio is open in Assumption.  It’s located where DJ’s On Chestnut previously sat.  The new studio allows the owner to showcase her work and that of others in the community and also offer classes to those interested. 

More information on Assumption Community Pride is available at their Facebook page.
