Sunday, August 16, should start mostly cloudy before gradually clearing, with a high near 80°F. Sunday night should be mostly clear near 57°F; HastingsNow’s Weather + On This Date has today’s full weather companion and three moments from history.
Sunday’s LOCAL 10 leans practical.
There are jobs to apply for, a free community health resource to know about, an officiating opportunity, fall registrations to check and a few local updates worth carrying into the week ahead.
Here are ten reviewed Hastings-area updates for Sunday, August 16.
TOP 3 TODAY
1. City of Hastings Hiring a Deputy City Clerk Through August 20

The City of Hastings is accepting applications for a full-time Deputy City Clerk through Thursday, August 20, at 11:59 PM Central. The position pays $34.06–$42.61 per hour.
The job includes City Council documentation, licensing, elections and public-records work. Qualified applicants can use the official City employment listing to review requirements and apply before Thursday night’s deadline.
2. Free Naloxone Kits Available at Rise Up Recovery in Hastings
Hastings residents looking for naloxone access have a local option beginning Monday. The Steve Rummler HOPE Network’s Naloxone Access Point directory lists Rise Up Recovery, 507 Vermillion Street, as a public location offering free intramuscular naloxone kits and fentanyl test strips.
The Hastings location is listed as open Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM — not Sunday. Rise Up Recovery also shared the Hastings availability through its local update.
For residents who want to know where this resource is available before they need it, the statewide directory is worth saving.
3. City Seeking Referee for Hastings Sand Volleyball League
Another City opportunity has a different kind of workplace: the volleyball court.
The City of Hastings is looking for a sand volleyball referee for league games held Thursday evenings from 6:30–10 PM during August and September.
The City lists pay at $28.50 per match and says previous volleyball playing or officiating experience is appreciated. Prospective referees can review the City’s original post for the current details.

4. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School Is Hiring a Preschool Teacher
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School is looking for a preschool teacher to join its Hastings team.
The school is directing prospective applicants to its preschool director for resumes and questions. No salary, schedule, qualification list or application deadline was established in the reviewed material, so interested educators should use the school’s current post for next steps.
5. United Heroes League Opens Freedom Fest Ticket Giveaway

United Heroes League is giving away two tickets to Freedom Fest 2026, with a winner scheduled to be announced September 1.
Freedom Fest itself is scheduled for Friday, September 11, at 5 PM at United Heroes League, 15211 Ravenna Trail in Hastings, in support of military families.
Anyone interested in the giveaway should use UHL’s original post for the current entry instructions.
6. Hastings Dance Team Corrects Fall Flyer Dates
Families looking at fall dance plans should make sure they are using the newest information.
Hastings Dance Team Club says an original fall flyer accidentally contained last year’s performance dates. The dates entered in the club’s online registration were correct, and an updated flyer has been issued.
Families can use the club’s current registration page rather than relying on an older flyer. The club also posted the correction explaining the error.
7. Hastings Beauty School Classes Start September 8
Hastings Beauty School says its next Hair Technician and Cosmetology classes begin Tuesday, September 8.
The update is aimed at prospective students considering the school’s upcoming programs. Because enrollment can change quickly, LOCAL 10 is not repeating an earlier claim about the number of remaining openings; prospective students should check directly with Hastings Beauty School for current availability.
8. Carpenter Nature Center Trail Project Continues in Hastings
Work continues on the Minnesota Campus trail-improvement project at Carpenter Nature Center.
CNC’s recent update highlights another new portion of its Self-Guided Trail loop, while its Minnesota Campus Trail Improvement Project page explains the continuing work and ways supporters can contribute.
Residents following the project can also see Carpenter Nature Center’s recent trail update.
9. Hastings Coach Austin Eliason Recognized With Class AAA Assistant Coach Honor
Hastings High School Wrestling is congratulating Austin Eliason, a Hastings Middle School teacher and track-and-field coach, on being named Minnesota’s Class AAA assistant coach of the year in Minnesota track coaches’ assistant-coach honors.
The recognition is being reported through Hastings school- and wrestling-affiliated sources. LOCAL 10 is keeping the attribution narrow because a standalone Minnesota Track Coaches Association award page was not established during verification.
10. Anytime Fitness Hastings Reopens While Remodel Work Continues

Anytime Fitness Hastings says it reopened at 7 AM Thursday, August 13, following its temporary construction closure.
The gym also said contractors would continue finishing portions of the remodel and that new cubbies were expected Monday, August 17.
For current and prospective members, the important takeaway is that the Hastings club reopened while finishing work continues. This is a member and customer update, not an announcement of a public grand-opening event.
If You Only Click One
Save the Steve Rummler HOPE Network’s Naloxone Access Point directory.
It provides a verified path to a free Hastings naloxone resource at Rise Up Recovery beginning Monday, and it is the kind of information that can be useful to know before someone needs it.
