Curve Announces Preseason Community Events
Baseball fans have something to circle on the calendar as Altoona’s minor league team prepares for the 2026 season. Team officials announced the return of two popular preseason events designed to bring fans back to the ballpark before opening day.
The late-February schedule includes a family-friendly fan festival at the stadium along with a season preview event that typically features players, staff, and early ticket opportunities. Organizers say these events are meant to mark the unofficial start of the baseball season in the city and generate momentum heading into spring.
Both events are expected to draw a mix of longtime fans and families looking for an affordable winter outing, continuing a tradition that has become a staple of Altoona’s sports calendar.
City Boards and Commissions Back in Session
As winter moves along, Altoona’s municipal boards are resuming their regular meeting schedules after the early January slowdown. Planning and development discussions are expected to pick up pace in the coming weeks, with routine agenda items focused on zoning, land use, and upcoming project reviews.
City officials encourage residents to stay engaged, noting that winter meetings often set the groundwork for construction and improvement projects that move forward later in the year. Public agendas and meeting summaries are typically posted shortly after each session.
With several long-term development conversations still active across the city, February is shaping up to be a quieter but important month for local decision-making.
Looking Ahead
While this week’s headlines are relatively light, more updates are expected as spring planning accelerates and seasonal events begin to return. Community members can expect additional announcements tied to recreation, public works, and neighborhood projects as winter winds down.
