Sucessful Tree Lighting !




'The Petals to Pedals' really showed their dedication Saturday nite. IT WAS COLD! We didn't have any snow yet, and it was very windy. Never the less, quite a few people showed up for the first annual Christmas tree lighting in Holdingford. Mrs. Waletzko and a dozen members of the Holdingford High School Choir were there , doing a good job of singing carols in the fridged weather. Mayor Schmit gave a welcome, Father mark blessed the tree, the club served hot chocoate and cookies, the hot chocoate was a 'hot' item, we new it was time to go when the cookies started freezing on the trays. Hats off to the garden Club for doing so much for Holdingford this year.

We Have Water




It worked ! It was no surprise but it is always nice to see positive results. Now it is a matter of moving pumps and wiring. They finished the wet work just before the really cold weather set in.

Beautiful weather

Because of the beautiful weather. The three houses on the south end of town are really coming along quickly. I was talking to one of the construction workers and he was saying because of the fall work slowdown. These houses have moved up into top priority. What with the warm weather. And not much work. The other day there there were so many workers on one house it looked like one of those, tv shows where they get a house built in a few days. Well maybe not quite that fast.

Crazy Driver

A speeding truck missed a slight corner and ran over a fire hydrant in town, on County 17 knocking it about 15 feet, than hit a telephone pole, causing it to break about 10 feet off the ground. This person must have been really moving. (reported to have been a red truck) This happened about 3:15 Sunday morning. The driver backed up and sped off. They were able to tract the oil leak for a short while. What amasses me is 1. the vehicle still ran and 2. The driver who must have been 'on' something was able to still drive. I was not happy as power was off to town for about 9 hours. Monday they had to go back and fix something else, it was out for another couple of hours. Not a happy community !! I hope they can catch this person.
