If you’ve been patiently (or not-so-patiently) counting down the days, the wait is officially over. Our 2026 planners have made their grand entrance at the City Office, and yes — they’re free!

As many of you know, we order these every year for our staff, but the supplier only sells them in bulk… large bulk. So, once again, we’re swimming in planners. Instead of building a fort out of them (tempting, but frowned upon), we’re handing them out to anyone who wants one.

If you’re the type who likes to get a jump on the new year, or if you simply enjoy a crisp, empty planner full of possibility, stop by the office during business hours and pick one up. Supplies will last until… well, until you all wipe us out like you do every year.

Come grab yours — before we start using them as doorstops. 😉

Residents may notice Wheat State crews working near the bridge on the east side of town in the coming days. Wheat State will be repairing and reinforcing their fiber cables after water entered an access point, froze, and constricted the lines. This issue caused the internet outage on Tuesday, December 2nd.

The City appreciates Wheat State’s quick response to the outage and their efforts to restore service to customers as promptly as possible. The upcoming construction is part of their work to prevent similar issues in the future.

While significant delays aren’t expected, drivers may see workers and equipment in the area and are encouraged to use caution when passing through.

The Oxford Police Department is collecting winter items—including coats, scarves, hats, gloves, and snow boots—to help our neighbors stay warm this season. Donations can be dropped off at Casey’s, Oxford Elementary, and Oxford Jr./Sr. High School.

❤️ Your Kindness Matters! ❤️

Every donation helps a neighbor stay warm this winter season. If you’ve been meaning to sort through those closets, this is the perfect opportunity to help someone in our community.
 

If you or someone in your household needs a winter coat, please contact the Oxford Police Department at 620-445-3225. We’ll do our best to make sure everyone in our community stays warm this winter.

Thank you for your generosity and support!   ❄️ ⛄️ 🧤 🧣 🧥

Thank you for your understanding, and please join us in honoring our nation’s veterans!
