HANCEVILLE — Hanceville leaders made arrangements this week that clear the paperwork path for a pair of upcoming October outings in the city, approving street closures and permits for the Mud Creek Marching Festival and the Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat Halloween event.

The 33rd Mud Creek Marching Festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Hanceville High School football stadium.

All street closures for the festival will be effective from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m Oct. 26.
