Meeker Town Hall updates

The Town of Meeker is experiencing the COVID-19. It is hard to believe all the lock downs we are seeing. Now is the time for all of us to continue to support all our local businesses that are staying open, whether it be a drive thru restaurant or telephoning for special one on one appointments.
