The City of Shelbyville will test its newly-renovated downtown Public Square on June 10 during Taste of Shelby County.

The bicentennial event runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in downtown Shelbyville with food, wines and brews from local chefs, food crafters, vinters and brewers as well as entertainment for patrons.

The Board of Works and Public Safety approved a road closure plan Tuesday morning at City Hall for the event.

The Public Square will be closed to traffic beginning at 8 a.m. on June 10 to allow for preparation of the event. Harrison Street will be closed from Franklin Street to Jackson Street.

At 3 p.m., East Washington Street will be closed to Noble Street and West Washington Street will be closed to Tompkins Street for final preparations.

Banks in the downtown area will be asked to close drive-through service at 4 p.m.

Entertainment for the event includes Polkamotion on the event stage, the Southern Indiana Taiko Japanese Drums, Silly Safaris shows, art on the circle, a cruise-in car show and a Human Hamster Ball Course.

In other board business Tuesday, street department supervisor Dave Fannin discussed the upcoming “Heavy Trash Collection Week.”

Residents can spring clean and put additional trash curbside for pick up next week on their regularly-scheduled collection days.

Fannin asked residents to separate wood and metal materials from other trash. The city will have wood collection and metal collection trucks running in addition to normal trash collection trucks.

All trash must be clearly organized to assist with the collection process.

“We have 1,500 stops a day,” said Fannin. “We can’t organize trash and pick up loose trash.”

The city absorbs the excess fuel costs, dumping costs and potential employee overtime costs for this one-time a year service.

“We know this is an integral service,” said Fannin. “We have no problem doing it but we have to know our limitations.”
