Polling Places

With the upcoming election next week, I thought I would post this again, even though I'm sure it showed up on the Facebook page previously.




In 1982, voters in North White Cloud Township did their voting in Combs' garage. Please turn out and make your voice heard this election season. The polling place is now at the church building on Rte U at First Street.

Aerial Photo of Arkoe c. 1950s

The Shore Heritage webpage, which details the descendants of Perry Hoshor Talbott, one of Arkoe's founders, contains the image below, an aerial view of Arkoe, c. 1950s. The town has certainly changed since that time.

June 2018 Town Cleanup

Members of the Maryville High School Band came out to help the Town of Arkoe clean up the neighborhood. Despite the early morning rain, residents and the helpers were able to fill a large roll-on dumpster with miscellaneous trash. The rain abated and provide a relatively decent day for getting the work done.

The Town of Arkoe appreciates the hard work the band members put in and we hope they have a wonderful trip and successful parade in the fall.

A New School Year Begins



Watch for Children

Arkoe folks were able to enjoy some cooler temperatures yesterday, and some rain! The crops here about surely needed both. Let's hope for a few more of those gentle downpours.

Just a reminder, school will be starting up again soon. Arkoe has several families with young children again, so let's watch out for those stopped buses here in town and on Route U, loading and unloading their passengers. We hope the kids have a great start to the new school year.
