Electronics recycling Sunday at Corunna Football Field lot
A Youth Advisory Council takeback day at noon Sunday joins two Friday library craft and storytime sessions, a Friday afternoon tailgate party at the SCOA Owosso Center and Saturday's Gnom-vember! on the county's verified weekend calendar.
Correction, Nov. 5, 2026: Our Nov. 5 story said a Saturday craft session at the Children's Library and a Friday afternoon tailgate party at the SCOA Owosso Center were the only community events on the county's verified calendar for Nov. 5-8. The verified weekend calendar also lists a Youth Advisory Council-Electronic Recycling Takeback Day at noon Sunday in the Corunna Football Field parking lot. This story corrects that.
If you have a dead television or a drawer of old phones and chargers, Sunday is the day to move them. The calendar lists a "Youth Advisory Council-Electronic Recycling Takeback Day" starting at 12 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in the Corunna Football Field parking lot — a lot that has served before as a drop-off point for community collection drives.
Two things the listing does not tell you, and a reader will want both: what it accepts, and whether it costs anything. There is no list of accepted items, no fee or no-fee line, no end time, and no street address. The listing also gives the location as "Corunna Football Field parking lot, Owosso" — the venue's name is Corunna Football Field, but the calendar puts the town as Owosso. The listing does not give the accepted items or an address.
Friday, Nov. 6
The Children's Library at the Owosso Public Library has two sessions. 3-D Pumpkin Garland starts at 9 a.m., and Storytime with Miss Natalie starts at 10:30 a.m. At 3:30 p.m., the SCOA Owosso Center holds a Tailgate Party.
Saturday, Nov. 7
Gnom-vember! runs at 10 a.m. at the Children's Library at the Owosso Public Library. The listing gives the name and the start time and nothing else.
Two details are still missing from the listings. Neither the Owosso Public Library's Children's Library listings nor the Durand Memorial Library's say whether children have to be signed up in advance, or what ages the programs are for. And the calendar listings do not say whether SCOA events at the Owosso and Morrice centers are open to people who are not senior-center members. If you are planning around either one, call ahead.
No county school games appear on the verified calendar for Nov. 6-8.
