On Saturday, April 11, 2026, Okolona residents kicked off the “Walking With the Mayor” event by gathering at the Mini Park on Main Street at 7:00 AM. Mayor Sherman Carouthers, joined by Margia Marley, President of the Okolona Area Chamber of Commerce/Main Street, and several Chamber members, led the group in picking up trash along their route. Upon returning to the park, the team also took time to spray weeds, helping keep Main Street clean and welcoming for everyone.
This community walk is more than just a stroll—it’s a chance to connect with neighbors, take pride in our town, and support local beautification efforts. “Walking With the Mayor” will continue every Saturday in April at 7:00 AM. Everyone is welcome to join in, so come out, lend a hand, and be part of making Main Street shine!
