Community Tree Lighting Ceremony

I am breaking one of my house rules, kind of talking about Christmas now, it's not even Thanksgiving yet and there is all the buzz about the Christmas Season. But- I have just been informed the community tree lighting ceremony sponsored by the Petals To Pedals Garden Club like last year, will be Saturday December 1 st at 5:30 or when church gets out a little later. So this is a heads up to plan on coming down for hot chocolate,cider, song and of course Christmas lights.

New Roof On City Hall

This is one of those we didn't want to do it projects. The city hall has been having issues with leaks in the roof for a while. The question was to do it piecemeal or do it right. We did it right.
